And it's only the tip of the iceberg. When they showed some details about the driver and his mother http://archive.is/Kj98S I wondered what the **** is that?!?

They are a publicly traded corporation. They are not the only domain name registrar; racists can go pick a different one or start their own. They have all the rights of a private corporations and are not beholden to your standards of free speech.

Besides, haven't Trump folks argued strongly against net neutrality? That's a strong argument for privatization of the internet, down to fundamental user rights.

They'll find another service, but GoDaddy is certainly under no obligation to host anyone's website if they find it's so objectionable that their association with it would harm their business.

They tried Google. It lasted about twenty minutes before they got busted for TOS.

ha, that's awesome.

Seems like they should try Shopify but even then, they might violate the ToS

Now with Trump tacitly encouraging these fools, and with the Internet to spread their hate speech, we are beginning to understand exactly what we are dealing with. They may regret their decision to come out from under their rocks, thinking that Trump will somehow prop up their anarchistic neo-Nazi ambitions. Instead the whole world is going to get a good view of the vermin that has crawled out into the light of day.
Be careful, you're sounding a lot like the people that blamed Obama for "tacitly encouraging" people to ambush cops and go on violent riots.

These scumbags have always been around. One killed two people near my work a couple years ago....I think we can both agree that they're sick in the head.

Revolting.

I'm all for people's free speech, but I just can't relate to this thinking. How do people get to this point where they can write those words and hit the "publish" button?

Well, they were not born that way. Unfortunately, they learned hate at the kitchen table.
