PayPal Showing to Have Guts!

Yes! It is moments like these that restore my faith, albeit temporarily in American society.  It seems that PayPal has cut off Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs! They don’t even want any traces of their logo on her site, even. Read ‘em and weep, boys n girls!

financial exploitation of a crime.

PayPal, an eBay Company

Oops! Her method of gouging money from unsuspecting readers is also preventing her from funding yet another law suit.  She’s being sued again. I’m sure that must be a usual happening in her little world though.

Get this! She is claiming that her brand of bigotry is actually news/fact.

She is finding other ways of gouging her readers, but still…a large company like PayPal has the guts to discourage hate speech and to no longer be a part of it. They put principle over the almighty buck!

And no, Pammy! You can still spread your lies, you just can’t expect PayPal or anyone else who disagrees with your brand of wingnuttery to willingly do business with you.
