A Kansas City lawyer and supporter of Barack Obama for president has filed suit in federal court, alleging that the Republican ticket has incited violence against the Democratic nominee.
In her suit against Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin and campaign manager Rick Davis, Mary Kay Green said she has been injured by their campaign tactics and suffers “terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear” for Obama’s life.
Green, an occasional contributor of letters to the editor for The Kansas City Star on legal and political issues, said the GOP campaign has used false hate speech to work their supporters into a frenzy, leading to death threats against Obama.
In an interview, Green said she worked as a young woman in the presidential campaigns of both John and Robert Kennedy in Nebraska. Though she has asked for $6 million in damages, Green said the money is not important. The suit is a moral plea to the Republicans to temper their language, she said.
“I will not tolerate another assassination,” Green said. “I have an obligation as an attorney to speak out and use my voice to say to John McCain and Sarah Palin that you must stop this behavior. You are participating in these death threats and have lost all protection from the First Amendment.”
The suit, Green filed Tuesday, has been assigned to a federal court mediation program for resolution.
Even the real Left wouldn't touch this for fear of being laughed out of the game!
She should be disbarred and put on the floor that Nurse Ratchet occupies. She can discuss her fears with the Chief.
Visions of the fascism that will begin when Obama is sworn in. They will start arresting anyone who “defiles derr Fuhrer
Is this Obama’s Missouri “Truth Squad” officials in action?
You know, when I was a kid in Mississippi, the KKK did this all the time, used the sheriff, the courts, elected officials to intimidate people.
Now we have the party of the KKK, the party of the Jim Crow laws, the party of segregation, running around calling everyone else racist. What irony.
The bad news is it’s very unlikely that many know the history of the KKK and it’s founding as the terror wing of the Democrat party right after the civil war. And many more don’t want to talk about it. That is how ignorance is spread.
She got a law degree???
What a waste of breathable air.
I propose that mediation should concurr that remedy consist of this lawyer to be disbarred and be ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment for probable hystrionic personality disorder
Just STFU Counselor, you haven’t SEEN terror until the Marxists seize control of all three branches of government and guess what?
You’ll be among the first to swing from the revolutionary noose, i.e., ‘all revolutions devour their children’.
These idiots aren’t just a few cans short of a six-pack, they’re carrying around nothing but the little plastic carry-all device with six big holes for the cans!
Can I file a lawsuit too? Because I’m deathly afraid. I’m afraid for the security of my loved ones. I’m afraid of losing my country to a marxist fraud.
She’s doing this only for the screaming MSM headlines. Whether or not is has any truth to it is irrelevant.
It is like a bunch of little children, each trying to outdo the next with little stunts to grab the spotlight. Our country is fragmenting badly, with adults on one side and children on the other.
I will send her a persnal letter demanding "satisfaction".
Why don’t we just cancel the election—all those McCain votes will surely hurt Lord Obama’s feelings?
Doesn't this drama queen have anything else to be neurotic about?
If they were using genuine hate speech she might have a case, but since they’re just using “false hate speech” I’d have to throw the case out. Next.
I wonder if I can file a restraining order to keep Obama out of my state because he frightens me.
