HuffPost's protection of the most egregious violators of its "policies" --- and its banning of non-violators --- often on a minute-to-minute basis
===========
Background: The following is an example of the false/misleading stories that HuffPost has published about Israel and Jews, which was the focus of an analytical article here at Huff-Watch:
5/23/08: Grossly misleading headline re Israeli Air Force foments torrent of hate (HuffPost: "Approved!!!")
Tony Blair's plane entered Israeli air space without identifying itself, and failed to respond to demands that it do so. In contrast to the honest ways that other news sources depicted this incident, HuffPost played this story as if Israel's actions were all at fault --- and that it almost mistakenly shot down the plane, due to its own supposed ineptitude. Predictably, HuffPost reviewed, approved and decided to publish numerous user comments containing anti-Israel hatred, libels and conspiracy theories.
In respones, HuffPost reviewed, approved and decided to publish this uesr's explicit call to genocide:

Jews are evil. Israel runs the world. Lets kill 'em all and give the land back to Islam; result-perpetual peace. Seig Heil.

The proof that this comment was, in fact, published, is located at right.
As is documented in Section 7 here, HuffPost censors and bans non-violating users on a minute-by-minute basis, often for nothing more than daring to challenge or mock its "protected caste" of radical leftists, whom it allows to egregiously violate its (supposed) rules at will. Some of these non-leftists are banned after as few as six comments.
Yet in the case of "pedrothemigrant," the only action HuffPost took was:
- To remove the above comment
- To leave him/her free to continue posting comments
The proof of these allegations is the following screencap of his profile page, taken on November 27, 2009 --- showing that HuffPost left his account active...
.... and the PDF of his comment archive, taken on December 1, 2009, showing that while HuffPost removed the above comment, it left "pedrothemigrant" free to continue posting:
Further, this is not an isolated incident. We have obtained documentation of numerous similar instances of HuffPost's "tolerance" for the intolerable.
