This is from the Daily Caller:

Mario Ruiz, The Huffington Post’s senior vice president for media relations, told TheDC that Breitbart will not be censored in response to the campaign.

“From the beginning, The Huffington Post has welcomed voices from all sides of the political spectrum, including conservatives,” Ruiz wrote in an email. “The idea being that dialogue — from a wide range of perspectives — is preferable to silence.”

“The fact that Andrew Breitbart’s first post on our site drew over 1,635 comments, conducted in a civil manner, seems to validate the premise and the decision to publish his blog post,” Ruiz wrote.

I disagree with Mr. Ruiz. A high number of civil comments validates nothing. I’d say that Breitbart disproves the earlier hypothesis: dialogue from this wide of a range of perspectives, ie: including the disagreeably unhinged, is NOT preferable to silence.
