I don't think this is consistent with other publishing laws. I would think if someone published a newsletter or a book with all sorts of incendiary/treasonous material, they would be held liable as an accomplish or something. Merely creating a forum (like this) where people can post whatever they want, would not leave the owner liable for its content
If you are passiving publishing comments (like on a messageboard where people can write whatever they want) but you'd have to make a decision to edit/censor them - then you should be under no legal obligation to do so.
If you are actively publishing content, where you pick and choose which articles you want to show people, then there is the impression of endorsement. Yet it looks like these poeple got off.
