Atlas Banned in Charlotte, NC

Badge of honor, folks, badge of honor. In the parallel universe of inverted language, saving the free world,  fighting oppression, and fascism, now translates into "Violence/Hate/Racism." Jim of BTWA writes;

A few weeks ago I posted a message alerting folks to anti-semitism     among muslim cab drivers in Charlotte...     nothing has changed.

More to the point, I became frustrated and went to Hertz Car Rental (adorned with Kippah) to get a car. The first car they gave me was filled with fire ants and I didn't drive it out of their facility. The replacement car was filled with ants, too, however the ants didn't emerge until a few miles outside the Rental Car Facility when I turned     on the air conditioning and they blew into my face.

The third car they gave me was a Ford Taurus with faulty brakes and engine problems so profound as to represent a hazard to renters and other drivers. I returned the vehicle after going to Gleiberman's Deli to pick up Kosher. Strangely, according to the Hertz Site Manager, I was the only person to complain about such things.

This morning, as I sit in Charlotte/Douglas Airport, I discover that the following web sites are banned at the Airport by their SonicWall firewall:

    1. Atlas Shrugged - This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content     Filter Service. URL: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/     Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category "Violence/Hate/Racism"

    2. Jihad Watch - This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content Filter     Service.....Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category     "Violence/Hate/Racism"

    3. Dhimmi Watch - This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content     Filter Service...Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category     "Violence/Hate/Racism"

    In a peculiar turn of events, I can easily traverse the links to Hamas and Jihadist propaganda sites.

Perhaps others have had terrific experiences in Charlotte, NC, I hope     your experiences continue to meet expectations. Lately my expectations of Charlotte, NC, have waned.

But but but I love humanity - it's people I hate :)

UPDATE: Apparently I am in very good company here as well.

UPDATE 9/1: Foehammer's Anvil scores one for the good guys. From the comment section;

My readers succeeded in getting the status of the Anvil fixed on both SonicWALL and SurfControl in just the past week: An Anvil Victory Against Censorship: a Victory for All Coming up next in the blog censorship rogue’s gallery: SurfControl Happily, I checked Atlas status at SurfControl, and you're listed under Blogs & Forums, Pamela. However, Jihad Watch is not so lucky: Intolerance & Hate. I informed Robert.

pamela:

is there any doubt but that the jihad and the enablers of jihad want to drive any other views from the web, as they have done with the mainstream media.

this is a concerted effort to absolutely shape the debate to the ends of the left and the jihad. no doubt about it.

Charlotte has made mistakes and now ranks just above Mogadishu and behind Detroit as the third world's safest city. If NASCAR ever pulls out, we may have to carpet bomb.

Pamela's [real, live,] Syrian contact/Fan has revealed that she is the subject of much conversation on Arabic language Jihadi sites also.

No doubt about it! Atlas has arrived!

The county government my brother works for filters out boortznews but allows dailykos!
Found this but it doesn't mean a lot to me. It does show there are folks working around this censorship.

You're a strong woman! To continue this blog, day after day, after year. I give you all credit and blessing! I know I, myself, would be sickened in my Soul, knowing the utter hate the islamics have for everybody - even their own women. PMH Atwater calls it black magic against the West, against the U.S.- yeah, she means the moslems practicing it.

[allat]

No, this is NOT superstition. Voodoo and Black Magic translates into scientific language as INTENT. Bad Vibes!
Science, Quantum Physics recognizes it as
particle -wave physics, The Observer Effect.
Check it out!

Pamela, of course you are banned! They can't afford to have any pissed off Moslems in the airports, now can they, hmmmm?

[Lemuel Calhoon]

As far as I am conserned it is a good thing to be banned by Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Red China.

To be feared by tyrants is a high honor.

I got off the phone with SonicWall they apparently think that "anti-war liberal scum" (this is in reference to what the anti-war creeps did to the wall)is hate. Of course http://www.dailykos.com/ is considered Web Communications. Can we say hypocrites??

I uge all of you to call them the number is 1-888-557-6642 when the menu asks you to punch a number if you know the extension hit that then hit zero a few times.

The key word is "defamation" as it is clear there are no rules as to who they block.
