Attacks on Conservative Bloggers

We read:

"The American Airlines club at Miami International Airport is blocking the websites above [Michelle Malkin, Powerline, Charles Johnson, Hugh Hewitt], after its filtering program, Content Watch, convicted them of the captioned crimes. They are "jailbirds" now, and they are allowed no visitors — at least no internet visitors. (The case of Michelle Malkin is a bit more complex, since visitors are allowed, once they acknowledge that they are about to be exposed to her “Drugs/Alcohol” and her other “Illegal Activities.”)

It is most disturbing that mainstream Republican and conservative writers are being banned on the internet at public locations in the United States — and being smeared with accusations of drugs, violence, hate, pornography, and illegal activities. We did not do a comprehensive check of websites of a more liberal orientation, but we did note that Daily Kos was operating just fine.
