Gateway Pundit reports:
Democrats will introduce a bill this week to rip apart the US Constitution.
Rep. Robert Brady (D-PA) will introduce legislation this week that will criminalize inflammatory language.
Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pennsylvania, said he will introduce legislation making it a federal crime for a person to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a Member of Congress or federal official.
Brady uses Palin's election map with cross-hairs on the Congressional seats targeted to win as an example of "inflammatory speech". Gateway Pundit posted a Democrat map that appeared on the Democratic Leadership Committee website (dated 2004 during the Bush years).
2010 Palin Map 2004 Democrat Map
Cross-hairs or Bull Eyes...what's the difference?
I just can't imagine the new conservatives in the House going along with this assault on the Constitution. Who decides what's inflammatory anyway? It's ridiculous.
Some of the comments on this story in the Gateway Pundit are worth the read. Here's a few:
Aaron commented: Sooo, if I say “I hope president Obama gets BEAT in 2012″, can that be PERCEIVED as inflammatory language since ‘beat’ can be taken in multiple ways?
oogoon commented: I’ll be kinda sorry to see Ed Schultz And Keith Olberman go to Jail.
bigkahuna commented: I see Obama naming The first inflamitory language czar !
Czar: Sgt Special Ed Schultz
First mate: Keith Olberman
Language interpreter:Christingles Mathews
Judge: Bill Ayers
Jury: Rachel Madcow
Executioner: Rosie Odonnel
Gringo commented: Here is Senator Kerry speaking to Bill Maher in 2006: “I could have gone to 1600 Pennsylvania and killed the real bird with one stone.” Perhaps we could pass the legislation, ignore such niceties as Ex Post Facto, and arrest Senator Kerry for that statement.According to another Gateway Pundit article, the Democrats were plotting to blame the Tea Party for the shootings in Tucson.
Democrats plotted to blame the tea party patriots for yesterday’s slaugher in Arizona.
A democratic operative admitted this to The Politico.
Of course, Politico buried it in their story.
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.
“They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers,” said the Democrat. “Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people.”
Are you surprised? Well, don't be. This is now standard operating procedure.
What, they couldn't wait for the bodies of dead to get cold?
ReplyDeleteThis is sinful, just sinful. Not just what they are trying to do, but how they are using this tragedy to do it.
JACG:
ReplyDeleteIt is disgusting and totally despicable.
BBC Radio (and probably telly but I don't have one) have been reporting that the Tucson shooting was the responsibility of Shock Jocks for "creating an atmosphere of hysteria and violence" which is of course nonsense. The responsibitiy lies solely with the shooters.
ReplyDeleteThe discredited former UK socialist regime left us bereft of free speech in that it is now illegal to offend anyone or upset co-workers, suppliers or clients and it illegal for them to be rude to you.
ie they have applied the full strength of the law to govern social interaction.
Glad I don't work in the Public Sector where this will be policed rigidly.
Radio was also reporting what a special Tragedy the shooting of the Congresswoman was. No it wasn't, people get killed every day (like her 5 co-victims). What they don't like is an attack on the top of their power stucture, ie their elite.
Hi banned:
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that the UK had speech police. It looks like the Dems over here want to follow suit. The truth about the shooter is that he is a deranged man who has a history of doing and saying strange things. He was banned from college unless he got help and the Army rejected him. He's been "targeting" this particular congresswomen since 2007, before the Tea Party and Obama. He doesn't even show a pattern of right-wing extremism, yet the Left is blaming the Tea Party, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and anyone who speaks their mind.
The Left is using this wacko's despicable acts as an excuse for cracking down on Americans, even though there is no proof that the shooter was influenced by TV, radio or anyone else on the right.
They are planning to take away our free speech, but I don't think this stupid bill will get very far since Republicans are in charge of the House now.
Lady, I say let them. This will be a very good test for the new Congress's promise. This bill will never past the Constitutional scrutiny of the new Congress!
ReplyDeleteThis is vile and despicable! The fact that the Left is using this horrible tragedy for political gain is truly sickening. This is against dissent and freedom of speech. The media wants us all just to be nice and fall in line like good little sheeple. That would have been nice if the Left acted like sheeple under Bush.
ReplyDeleteOdie:
ReplyDeleteI agree. The conservatives in the House will "shoot" this down.
Teresa:
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised at the lengths the Left will go to in order to destroy our Republic. As I said in the post, this is now standard operating procedure.
"We must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies by more clear, more sophisticated and more effective methods than those used against us."

And that's more or less what both sides do. It would be far more productive to look at this sad nut case and call it what it is -- but human nature doesn't allow it.
Since the left controls the media they can spin it anyway they want to.
LL:
ReplyDeleteTrue, the Left has the media on it's side. They will keep spinning the truth until the perception is believed to be the truth.
