That comments that equate Israel and Jews with the worst filth of humanity ever are permitted even encouraged here and most opinions that say 'nay' to that are deleted and the posters names turned off.
I'm not sure of what each state's laws are but you could make a case that Salon permits racist hate speech intentionally. It would be at minimum a libelous offense in many European Union countries.
Perhaps Salon needs to take a closer look at what it lends its name to if it hopes to maintain its status as a somewhat neutral yet partisan advocate for dialog. Additionally Salon perhaps needs to have a 3rd party ombudsman review these threads and the complaints that come from them.
I for one will be investigating with California's AG what the definition of all this is.
Thank you.
