KANSAS CITY - Missouri voter Mary Kay Green has had enough.
The supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama filed a lawsuit this week over what she claims is dangerous “hate speech” coming from the rival campaign of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
Green, a 66-year-old grandmother and “semi-retired” civil rights attorney, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City this week accusing McCain, his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and their campaign manager Rick Davis of “intentionally, recklessly and irresponsibly” portraying Obama “as un-American, a terrorist by association, and ‘not like us,’ a non-white individual.”
A McCain spokesman had no immediate comment.
Palin, Green alleges in her lawsuit, has at her rallies used false statements to work supporters “into a frenzy causing them to make death threats” against Obama.
The lawsuit claims that Green “suffers terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear for the life of Presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Barack Obama” because of the McCain campaign’s efforts to invoke hatred against Obama.
Green is seeking damages of $6 million, “and prays that they cease and desist their reprehensible campaigning.” She told Reuters that she will not drop the lawsuit unless McCain’s camp repudiates the death threats and tones down the rhetoric.
“It is a federal crime to threaten the life or a presidential candidate … they are participating in that crime,” Green said.

Right. It's also a federal crime to file a frivolous suit.

Sounds like someone in MO needs to get a life. Or maybe she does these things for therapy.
“civil rights attorney” = no talent, destructive, racist shit-disturber.
Mary Kay Green?
Code Pink member?
First she'll have to prove it actually happened.
fascism comes to Missouri
Hey, Mary Kay Green! If you want to hear real hate speech, come to North Carolina. The black community has been spewing it here for years and has never been called on it.
IDIOT.
IDIOT.
IDIOT.
How about stereotyping White Mccain as a “racist”, Is this not the true racism?
Secret Service: No one yelled “Kill him” at the Palin rally

Pretty much blows her chances at a 6 mil payoff, now doesn’t it?
Whatta drama queen.
Can’t wait for a loser-pays law to come about. I can dream?
LOL?
I wish I could get her on the phone, though I’d certainly say things not meant for anybody’s ears.
Well this is stupid. Obama himself said he didn’t look like the past presidents and that he had a funny name. So, what’s wrong with quoting or paraphrasing him?
Let’s sue obama for using the term “typical white person.”
