In response to quack preacher Terry Jones burning the Koran, Senator Lindsey Graham wants to put limits on free speech. Perhaps the RINO Senator from South Carolina knows this, but his ambition is unconstitutional and as a lawyer Lindsey Graham should know this.

_{Lindsey Graham want to make the burning of the Koran illegal}

Politico reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a military lawyer, is the first member of Congress to say the legislature needs to explore the possibility, however unlikely, of limiting some kinds of free speech – like Terry Jones’ Quran burning – that help America’s enemies.

“I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war,” he told CBS’s Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”

“During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired the enemy,” Graham said, adding that he wanted to do “anything we can to push back here in America against acts like this that put our troops at risk.”

There is a reason that they are blinded to this fact.
It’s the same reason the “useful idiots” that are enabling a communist takeover are blinded to the fact that they will be (and have been historically) the first to be hanged after the takeover -

the “coordinator” of these movements is the father of illusion, the deceiver.

During WW II lots of things were done that would not pass muster today

Also, people like Graham, and indeed, most of today's liberals, would have been run out of town for supporting the enemy.

Can you imagine one of today's reporters asking Patton what his order of battle for the week was going to be? :-) The thought makes me smile.

If Grahamnesty is so concerned with appeasing the Muslim enemy, he should instead volunteer to lob his own head off.

We can limit the 1st ammendment freedoms of Americans, or we can beef up security at outposts in 3rd world hell-holes. Goober picked door number 1. He is a disgrace.

Graham is of the same ilk as Neville Chamberlain.

No he isn't. Chamberlain was a pacifist and idealist that grossly misjudged the dangers posed by Nazi Germany, but doubtless loved his country. Graham is an outright Enemy of the State snake in the grass.

“During World War II”....

Since he is using WWII as a standard, does this mean we are going to inter possible infiltrators and enemy sympathizers (ie. all Islamic types)?
No, I suspect we are really only talking about more erosion of our rights and control of the little people - this is just an excuse to take another bite out of the Constitution. Sadly, many of the sheeple will support Pansy in this - we must protect our children! we must be nicer to our enemies!

[SumProVita]

Is this a joke? A semi-satire? ............

[reagan_fanatic]

I know - let’s pass a law making it illegal for lemon-sucking effeminate languini-spined legislators to place limits on American’s freedom of speech.

[mo]

Can’t we just put ourselves AND Pansy Graham out of misery by shutting him up somewhere? Maybe paying him some stimulus dollars to stay home and quit threatenin’ to legislate?

[FreeperDoll]

ditto!!!!!!Apostle Paul never blaspheme other gods. that preacher was wrong..all he did was to make war with our soilders as targets, omg

“During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired* the enemy,” Graham said, adding that he wanted to do “anything we can to push back here in America against acts like this that put our troops at risk.”

Is Graham really claiming that, during WW II, it was not allowed to, e.g., publicly burn a Nazi flag, or spit on a portrait of Hitler, with the justification that that would only make the fascists "angrier" at us and thus endanger our troops?

Regards,

*I believe that Graham means "antagonized" or "provoked," not "inspired."

I think burning a koran is kind of pointless but making it illegal will force me to burn a whole stack of them.

Ditto.

[JoeFromSidney]

But it is OK for muslims to burn the Bible?????

I don't recall them burning a Bible, but they've burned quite a few Christian churches.

We value human life, liberty and dignity and islam values its koran, so here's the deal:

Stop killing people or the koran gets it.

[K-Stater]

Can we make Lindsey Graham illegal?

[juliej]

I want to make Lindsey Graham illegal!

This is another re-post of my “ Islam = Cancer.” screed. Anyone sick of it can skip it and use their time more wisely to burn a Koran.

Think it through with me - the parallels are significant, and denial is a dangerous option.

First, cancer cells are very similar to our own. You can’t quite say they are not human cells, or “our very own cells.” They spring up from our own cells. They are genetically identical in almost every way.

But they have some odd, unusual “thoughts” and “behaviors”. They multiply rapidly. They invade surrounding areas, and spread to distant areas to set up enclaves, pushing aside noncancerous cells and structures.

They use the body’s own mechanisms and resources against it. They insert themselves into key structures and disable or destroy them. They overwhelm the body’s natural defenses and immune system. The body cannot effectively wall them off, keep them in check, change their inherent nature and behavior, or “make peace” with them in any way. Ultimately, left unchecked, the natural history of cancer is to wreck havoc on the body, causing much suffering, and eventually death.

The only known cures are extreme, aggressive, destructive ones - radical cures: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. There is always collateral damage, death of healthy cells, sometimes removal of entire functional tissues and organs.

But often enough there is improvement, either improved functioning and quality of life, or often a complete cure, which entails permanent and complete removal of all cancer cells from the body. Although not all cancer cells are always invading and destroying vital structures, it is important to aim for complete eradication of all cells as the goal of treatment, or the cancer will return with time.

In its essential points, this analogy seems hard to refute when applied to Islam. I see little reason not to draw the parallels, and I think they point to unfortunate, drastic, but necessary “cures.”

We should make it a national Holiday so everyone can participate in burning one. I’m really feeling left out.

I've heard tell that September 11, 2011 is Worldwide Burn a Koran Day.

What do you have to lose? ALL Americans have a “Fatwah” on our heads already.

Graham needs to study a little more AMERICAN history (starting with the Constitution and Bill of Rights) instead of spending his time reading ‘peter-puffer’ magazines and watching gay porn movies.
