HuffPost's protection of the most egregious violators of its "policies" --- and its banning of non-violators --- often on a minute-to-minute basis

Summary: In mid-February 2010, a Huff-Watch operative observed that HuffPost was permitting a user, "woodpecker4," to "spam" (repeatedly post) anti-Semitic comments on all its top news threads (regardless of the topic), claiming that that Sec. of State Clinton is "a Zionist warmonger...who takes her orders from AIPAC... and wants to fight wars for Israel." Both spamming, and religious slurs, are violations of HuffPost's (supposed) comment policy --- yet HuffPost was reviewing, approving and deciding to publish all of "woodpecker4's" rants.

On February 15, our operative established a new account as "RedRedRooster," in order to confront "woodpecker4." Among other comments, "RedRedRooster" asked him to provide proof of his conspiracy theories.

HuffPost banned "RedRedRooster" within minutes of this request --- but left "woodpecker4" free to continue spamming, which is exactly what he did.
