Greensboro Guardian goes off half cocked, cuts off commentary in defense

Greensboro Guardian editor Charles Davenport, Jr. went off half cocked in condemning the Southern Poverty Law Center has having no credibility for, as he put it, "branding as 'hate speech' any language that questions the wisdom of progressive public policy."

But does the SPLC do that? I asked Davenport for examples. He offered some including blogger/author Roosh V who writes books and posts on how to "bang" women including:
A travel guide designed to help you sleep with Colombian women in Colombia without paying for it.
Interesting. How does Davenport's example of this blogger explain the SPLC's lack of credibility? He isn't saying. Davenport has cut off the conversation. Without explanation and without any indication to his readers that he is doing so, Davenport has taken to censoring comments on this topic. Very underhanded, but, fortunately, not undocumented.

Here is a screen shot of two of my comments that Davenport declined to publish without comment.


This is what the Southern Poverty Law Center said about Roosh V. I'd still like to know how Davenport thinks it destroys the SPLC's credibility:
Roosh Vörek is a Maryland-raised PUA (“pick up artist”) whose specialty is sex with foreign women; his blog is a sales vehicle for his books like Bang: The Pick Up Bible and Bang Iceland: How to Sleep With Icelandic Women in Iceland, which one Icelandic feminist group described as a “rape guide.” Vörek likes to talk about his many “notches” (seductions) and such things as “American cunts who I want to hate fuck.” He adds: “I’ll be the first to admit that many of my bangs in the United States were hate fucks. The masculine attitude and lack of care these women put into their style or hair irritated me, so I made it a point to fuck them and never call again.”

  1. I liked the comment where you're supposed to do the research to support his statement.

  2. I guess some people just know when they've been beat back into their slimy holes.

    Seriously though, I've had comments there that got censored when I was agreeing with them.
