Sen. Joe Lieberman opposes the current health care bill, so MSNBC's Ed Schultz has a solution: punch him out. On last night's episode of The Ed Show, Schultz asked Democratic Senator and way-too-frequent guest Sherrod Brown, D-OH: What is the feeling towards Joe Lieberman? I mean how do you, you know, go into a room without punching the guy out after what he's done to the progressive movement in this country? I mean, that's how I think a lot of people feel. What attitude, what attitude — is he still just a beloved, friendly, fraternal senator, or is he...

God hates the Jews. Wright said it. That is bold, orthodox Muslim preaching. So blow up Jews’ buildings. That’s Muslim Muslim Muslim written all over it.

Linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky criticizes right-wing media outlets, which he describes as delivering a message of paranoia and economic populism comparable to Nazis during the Weimar Republic. "There were people with real grievances," says Chomsky. "The Nazis gave them an answer."

“In a startling disclosure from an exchange at an East London mosque, Imam Abdul Makin and a leading Muslim lawyer have supported the killing and raping of non-Muslims, declaring all non-Muslims as guilty and subject to lethal abuse.”

The National Black Foot Soldiers, an offshoot of the Nation of Islam, now claims that Maurice Clemmons is a Muslim martyr who has ascended to seventh heaven for killing four Lakewood police officers at the Forza Coffee Shop near the McChord Air Base in Tacoma, Washington. The Black Foot Soldiers also claim that Clemmons, who was gunned down yesterday by a cop in south Seattle neighborhood, is being reward by Allah with a gift of 288 houris (virgins with “dark, beautiful eyes,” “swelling breasts,” and “modest gaze”) as his brides. The houris, we are told, will cater to the sexual...

DECEMBER 8, 2009 The Mystery of Harry Reid How could such a thoroughly unappealing man have gotten so far in politics? By JAMES TARANTO Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is at it again. FoxNews.com reports on his latest utterance in the debate over ObamaCare:Reid argued that Republicans are using the same stalling tactics employed in the pre-Civil War era. "Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When...

Thursday November 12, 2009 Lords Reinsert Free Speech Clause in U.K. Gay Hate Crimes Bill: Gov't Admits Defeat By Hilary WhiteWESTMINSTER, November 12, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An amendment to protect freedom of expression that was voted down earlier this week in the House of Commons, has once again been reinserted by the House of Lords into the UK's homosexual hate crimes bill. The Labour government has indicated that it has finally accepted the free speech clause in the Coroners and Justice Bill after the Lords voted for it 179 to 135 last night. The Christian Institute, the lobby organization...

Code Pink anti-war comments have inspired hate before. Were they at play here?

Roland Emmerich has admitted that he feared a fatwa would be placed on him if he filmed a scrapped scene for 2012. The filmmaker is well known for decimating famed landmarks on movies including The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day. He stated that while he decided to destroy the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro because he is "against organised religion", he was fearful of the Islamic religious decree for a sequence that was planned but not shot. The 53-year-old wanted to demolish the Kaaba, which is a cube-shaped building at the heart of Mecca and is...

'Mexican Man' costume offends Latino shoppers, community groups By Sean Maher EMERYVILLE — A costume dubbed "Mexican Man" has offended Latino shoppers and community groups after being discovered at a Halloween chain store. The photo on the costume packaging shows a man with a thick mustache wearing a poncho and a sombrero. Oakland resident Monica Plazola said she discovered the costume last week at the Spirit Halloween store in Emeryville, which she was visiting with her two children, ages 7 and 9. "We were there at the store, with all kinds of costumes, and that was the only one identified...

Though his channel remains public, Pastor James David Manning has been restricted from posting new material on YouTube for “hate speech”, simply for stating his religious views. With the passage of the new “hate crimes” bill, this opens up the door for an all out assault on religion and free speech. I’ve reported several times over the last week that the most popular YouTube channel dedicated to Michael Savage has been repeatedly banned from YouTube over the last few days. Who will be next?

Did you miss it? Last month the country celebrated national Blasphemy Day! According to NPR.com, atheists marked Blasphemy Day last month at gatherings around the world, celebrating the freedom to denigrate and insult religion. Activities included de-baptizing people with hair dryers and an art exhibit in Washington, D.C., which showed, among other titles, Jesus Paints His Nails, in which "an effeminate Jesus after the crucifixion [applies] polish to the nails that attach his hands to the cross." The atheist group Center for Inquiry hosted the exhibit. Addressing a capacity crowd at the University of Toronto, columnist Christopher Hitchens elicited enthusiastic...

Washington D.C., Oct 26, 2009 / 07:28 pm (CNA).- The Department of Communications of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has said it did not join a petition to the FCC which called for discussion over “hate speech� and its alleged role in violence. Some critics of the petition have cast it as an effort to shut down radio show hosts like Rush Limbaugh. The Department of Communications told CNA on Monday that they had sent their own letter noting the “serious constitutional and regulatory problems� associated with regulating alleged hate speech... http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=17495

HATE SPEECH IN THE MEDIA: WHO DECIDES? Another First Amendment Attack GIVING THE WAR ON FOX NEWS MORE CONTEXTHave you heard the one about "hate speech in the media" yet? You will--though one has increasingly little faith that the Dinosaur Media will report on this development. IS the War on Fox News merely one front in the rapidly-escalating War on Free Speech? The heavy hand of the Obama commissars is about to be laid upon: "hate speech in the media". Anyone want to guess what that is a code phrase for? Any guesses who will be the first to...

Should falsely calling someone a racist be a hate crime?

Via Instapundit comes this Hotair/Ed Morrissey vid and transcript of Hardball host Chris Matthews musing about someone "jam[ming] a CO2 pellet into [Limbaugh's] head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp." You know, just like Yaphet Kotto at the end of the Roger Moore Bond flick Live And Let Die. Seriously. Morrissey notes:

Charles Johnson Now So Anti-Racist He's Denouncing Fake Racist Quotes Charles Johnson was against fake but accurate before he was for it. No link for the idiot. I'll just quote him. From a thread: Top 10 Rush Limbaugh Racist Quotes. All out of context, and sarcasm. Right? That link I've left in provides a flurry of extremely dubious Limbaugh "quotes" -- and not a single link or citation. Including the ones created wholesale by noted scholar "zedladdy" and spread by no lesser authority than "cobra." Given that "zedladdy" and "cobra" previously invented own quotes, spread them around, and then uploaded...

CHRIS MATTHEWS: You guys see Live and Let Die, the great Bond film with Yaphet Kotto as the bad guy, Mr. Big? In the end they jam a big CO2 pellet in his face and he blew up. I have to tell you, Rush Limbaugh is looking more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebodys going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and hes going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet. But well be there to watch. I think hes Mr. Big, I think Yaphet Kotto. Are you...

Speaking to a respected Hispanic leader in KCK, Dennis Moore reportedly called decorated and disabled Marine Veteran and Congressional Opponent "White Trash" in a recent (recorded) telephone conversation. The KCK leader, who has formally supported the incumbent congressman, is supporting Daniel Gilyeat's candidacy for the Kansas 3rd District Congressional seat. Dennis Moore called the KCK man after hearing the Hispanic community leader's support had changed. Dennis Moore said he had $7 million for the campaign and could not believe the naturalized citizen was supporting "White Trash" over Moore.

If you didn't already have reason enough to avoid Keith Olbermann's left-wing screeching on Countdown, here's another one: Tonight (Wednesday), for the first time, he will devote his entire MSNBC hour, sans relief for commercials, to a “Special Comment” -- the kind of high-handed pontificating, laced with mean-spirited and cheap insults toward conservatives, so far confined to the last 8 to 11 minutes of the 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT program re-run at 10 PM EDT/7 PM PDT. “Special Comment Hour” topic: “Health Care Reform: The Fight Against Death.”

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) mocked Republicans Wednesday who demanded he apologize for saying that they want people who get sick to "die quickly." "I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America," Grayson said on the House floor. The "holocaust," he said, was the 44,789 people who die each year in the United States each year because they don't have health insurance, citing a Harvard study. Republicans said Democratic leaders should force Grayson to apologize. “Alan Grayson not only refuses to apologize, he is doubling down on his despicable remarks...

Little Green What? Some bloggers sent me postings the other day about Charles Johnson’s Little Green Footballs website, and suggested that the site has changed—as in flipped sides. I have not followed the controversy, but I once rode a bike down in LA for an afternoon with Johnson and found him both a serious and bright guy with all sorts of original ideas about radical Islam and the anti-Enlightenment dangers it posed. Out of curiosity I went to the site today. All I discovered different was a change in emphasis, but not necessarily attitude. He still is strongly anti-jihad; the...

The 40-year-old "comedian" Jack Black went on the "dark side" during the MTV Awards praying to the devil. Black, who was promoting a heavy metal video game called Brütal Legend, asked the "Dear Dark Lord Satan" to bless the rock star nominees with "continued success in the music industry." "I was mortified when Jack Black lead everyone in a prayer to satan. It was no joke," said Samantha Taylor of California. "The audience held hands and did it. I was a fan, but not anymore." Black made his grand entrace wearing extra muscles and a battle axe. "During the Awards,...

Last week, the MyBarackObama website forced a meet-up posting down the memory hole. Obama's Organizing For America (his ground stormtrooper organization that evolved from his campaign army) section of his website had a posting for what was going to be a meet-up in Illinois to push Obamacare. Apparently, even the extremists that run Obama's website were ashamed of the intemperate rhetoric in this listing and so, down the memory hole it goes. As it happens, the meet-up writer felt compelled to call Republicans "domestic terrorists," and "proud right-wing terrorists. The posting went on with all sorts of ignorant comments and...

Air America Radio host Montel Williams tells GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann to slit her wrist. He instructed her to go even further and "start right at the collarbone."

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that Section 13, Canada's much-criticized human rights hate speech law, is an unconstitutional violation of the Charter right to free expression because of its penalty provisions. The decision released Wednesday morning by tribunal chair Athanasios Hadjis appears to strip the Canadian Human Rights Commission of its controversial legal mandate to pursue hate on the Internet, which it has strenuously defended against complaints of censorship. It also marks the first major failure of Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, an anti-hate law that was conceived in the 1960s to target racist telephone...

It's enough to turn your stomach. Or, if you're a New Yorker who lived through the September 11th attacks, give you a serious case of the heebie-jeebies. A new ad purportedly for the World Wildlife Fund features dozens of airplanes converging on lower Manhattan -- featuring the Twin Towers -- with the line "The Tsunami Killed 100 Times More People Than 9/11." The ad was first brought to our attention by Gothamist, but was originally picked up by Adweek.com's AdFreak blog, which reports that the ad is from the Brazilian arm of the WWF. Sure, the 2004 tsunami was a...

"And not just atheists," said Bill Donohue during an August 31st Fox News interview. "I’m talking about people who are disaffected Catholics and Protestants who are mutineers within their own religion, trying to change things." It wasn't just "militant, dogmatic" atheists and "disaffected" Christians that the Catholic League president complained about either. Donohue also had a few choice words for magicians Penn & Teller whose Showtime series, Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t!, just ran an episode on the history of the Catholic Church. "This was the most Nazi-like assault,” Donohue said. “The most unrelenting half an hour of bashing I’ve ever...

Imagine that you are a teacher of Roman history and the Latin language, anxious to impart your enthusiasm for the ancient world — for the elegiacs of Ovid and the odes of Horace, the sinewy economy of Latin grammar as exhibited in the oratory of Cicero, the strategic niceties of the Punic Wars, the generalship of Julius Caesar and the voluptuous excesses of the later emperors. That’s a big undertaking and it takes time, concentration, dedication. Yet you find your precious time continually preyed upon, and your class’s attention distracted, by a baying pack of ignoramuses (as a Latin scholar...

So you think you’re all cool and hip, huh? Well, you are not as cool as famous rappers Jay-Z or Drake — and you are certainly not as cool as Jay-Z and Drake together. This is the central thesis of “Off That,” the newly leaked Drake collab from Jay’s upcoming The Blueprint 3, and it’s hard to argue with. Just accept it: Whatever cutting-edge trends you think you’re inventing, Jigga and Drizzy already discarded as played-out years ago. Facts are facts. The fizzy beat behind “Off That” comes from Timbaland; while he and Jay-Z have done more ground-breaking work in...

Lonewolf Diaries: Brad Pitt Leading the Anti-Christian Charge Posted By Steven Crowder On August 18, 2009 @ 5:40 pm In Celebrity News, Featured Story, Lone Wolf Diaries, Religion | 235 Comments I should say right off the bat that I can’t just blame Brad Pitt. The plague of closed-mindedness permeates every corner of Hollywood… Brad Pitt just happens to be the one who’s most recently crystallized it so perfectly. Much like the time Megan Fox tipped Tinseltown’s hand when she said that if given the chance, she’d urge Megatron to only murder the “white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people...

Experts who track hate groups across the U.S. are growing increasingly concerned over violent rhetoric targeted at President Obama, especially as the debate over health care intensifies and a pattern of threats emerges.

Democratic Centralism is a Marxist-Leninist concept best described in the 1977 Soviet Constitution as a principle for organizing the state: "The Soviet state is organised and functions on the principle of democratic centralism, namely the electiveness of all bodies of state authority from the lowest to the highest, their accountability to the people, and the obligation of lower bodies to observe the decisions of higher ones. Democratic centralism combines central leadership with local initiative and creative activity and with the responsibility of the each state body and official for the work entrusted to them." There was nothing ‘democratic’ about Democratic...

Here is a video of this past Friday's hate speech by the NY Muslims of RevolutionMuslim.com. This week their spokesperson kindly tells us that the time will come when the cross will be broken and non-Muslims will have no choice but to convert to Islam, as Sharia Law will rule the world.

Ace Washington Times reporter Kerry Picket has the scoop on a Democratic Party official whose MySpace page is a sewer of racial hatred.Following up on fellow Times reporter Jerry Seper's report on the Obama Justice Department's dropping of a case of voter intimidation by Democratic party poll watcher and New Black Panther member Jerry Jackson, Picket reports on the vile racist language that gets Republicans run out of town on a rail, but gets Democrats elected to be party officials. In Jackson's case, that means being an elected member of the 14th Ward Democratic party committee in Philadelphia.Here's a sample...

It's not posted on their website yet but it's been announced on the air that the suspended "Todd and Don Show" has now officially been cancelled by KLBJ-AM (Austin, TX). The short-lived one-hour morning show meant to bridge between their morning show and the Rush Limbaugh show featured African-American newsman Todd Jefferies and former talker Don Pryor (son of local icon Cactus Pryor). It featured a rapid-fire whimsical look at the day's news. Sometimes it was funny, sometimes it wasn't but it was local and it quickly developed its own following. I sometimes listened to it while waiting for Rush...

Hello all, I need a little assist. I've tried searching and keywords and such, to no avail. There has been some disussion here about some pending legislation relating to 'Hate Speech' that, if enacted could effectively curtail the ability of a Christian to speak out against homosexuality. Doing so could then be construed as Hate Speech. Does anyone know the bills number, such that legislators can be contacted? Thanks in advance.

If there's anything we Minnesotans don't like, it's bigotry. Want to be shunned by your friends and neighbors? Try engaging in "hate speech'' -- hurling vicious slurs at people based on race, religion and the like. Odd, then, that we've just had one of the nation's foremost peddlers of such vitriol here in the Twin Cities. Instead of running him out of town, we've spent two months celebrating him in a communal swoon. I'm talking about Tony Kushner, the playwright featured at the Guthrie Theater in its recent "Everything Kushner'' festival. For 10 weeks, the Guthrie orchestrated a nonstop hymn...

Vanity thread- Just wanted to see if anyone has noticed a sudden influx of new trolls on FR over the past few days. I logged on this morning to find 2 very hateful emails about some comments I made back BEFORE the election, calling me RACIST (how they love to use that word), and accusing me of hate speech and ordering me to burn in hell for my comments and beliefs. I cannot recall this person's screen name, but he CLAIMED to be a professional white male who is "normally" conservative. (yeah right). I couldn't even get angry and was...

Reactions to Perez Hilton’s tantrums reveal a cultural movement unhinged by the very behavior it claims to abhor. Earlier this year, Hilton, the overtly gay celebrity gossip blogger, went on an expletive-laced tirade against Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean for acknowledging her support for traditional marriage. But it was Prejean, not Hilton, a pageant judge, who was labeled a “disgrace” by the media and asked by pageant sponsors to publicly apologize. This week, when Hilton used a “gay slur” against Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am’s manager, who had just slugged Hilton, it was Hilton, not the manager, who was compelled...

Official Apologizes For Saying Bush Should Be Shot Between Eyes POSTED: 2:27 pm EDT June 1, 2006 UPDATED: 2:35 pm EDT June 1, 2006 NEW YORK -- New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi publicly apologized Thursday for a "beyond dumb" remark about "putting a bullet between the president's eyes." Hevesi hastily called a press conference hours after putting his foot in his mouth during a speech at the Queens College commencement.

...today police are saying that one blogger, Harold “Hal” Turner, crossed the line when he suggested some Connecticut government officials should “obey the Constitution or die. ”Turner, a New Jersey native, was apparently angry about proposed legislation that would have given lay members of Roman Catholic churches in Connecticut more control over their parish’s finances, the Associated Press is reporting. The blogger and radio show host turned himself in to the Connecticut police this afternoon on a charge of inciting violence.

The Virginian Pilot today devoted much of its (dead tree) editorial pages to stoking hatred for Conservatives. The despicable Paul Krugman who uses his NY Times column to smear conservatives on a regular basis is a Pilot fave. Today in his column “The Big Hate” he uses a blood libel against conservatives by tying the notorious anti-Semite von Brunn to the conservative side of the political spectrum. A more accurate characterization of von Brunn is found in my headline: Atheist Left Wing Journalism Major Kills Guard at Holocaust Museum Von Brunn hated Jews, Christians, capitalism, Bush, McCain and Rupert Murdoch....

If your liberal friends are brazen enough to declare that not only do Fox News and Limbaugh and Hannity and Ingraham and Levin encourage "domestic terrorism" with their "militia-style" rants, but they also claim "media liberals don't traffic in irresponsible talk of murder and violence and terrorism," here's just a fraction from our Notable Quotables archives that ought to put a stop to it: -- As a final crash of self-indulgent nonsense, when the incontrovertible truth of your panoramic and murderous deceit has even begun to cost your political party seemingly perpetual congressional seats....this advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell...

There's been quite a stink over David Letterman's ill-judged and offensive joke about Sarah Palin's daughter getting "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. I initially took it as a reference to Bristol Palin, who is now 18 and has a young baby. Turns out though that the daughter who did accompany Governor Palin to the Yankees was Bristol Palin, who's 14. Letterman has taken a lot of flak and few, even on the Left, have been prepared to stick up for him with any conviction. So Dave has apologised. Kind of. Sort of. Well, hardly at...
