I don't see how Jason's rights have been violated. The VCN did not
stop him from saying what the wanted to say; they simply stopped
him from saying it using their resources. Or do you now support
some sort of law to force those with publishing ability to finance
the publishing of others' views?

Ah, another completely clueless one. Perhaps you should read this
ammendment before you start spouting off about it. You'll note that
it starts, `Congress shall pass no law....' The first ammendment
applies *only* to the government, and would have no bearing on this
case.
