US Attorney Bill Killian: Posting Something Mean About Muslims on Social Media Might Be...Criminal..
Breitbart ^ | 31 May 2013 | ACE OF SPADES

Posted on 05/31/2013 11:21:54 AM PDT by barmag25

The First Amendment served us well for a time, but now it's outdated. Remember reading that England had arrested a guy for anti-Muslim Twitter postings in the aftermath of the Woolrich slaughter? And remember thinking, "Well, this is America, that can't happen here"?

Oh yes it can. Obama's Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee wants you to know that if you say something untoward about Muslims, the Federal government may imprison you.

Killian and Moore will provide input on how civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media. “This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.” ... Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.

Twenty minutes of a Reverend Wright speech has plenty of inflammatory material.

Sure doesn’t stop people from purging Christian beliefs and practices though does it.

We’re in a civil war and only one side is playing.

But vilifying Christians and Jews is protected under the 1st. Right?

Can we use this against them, i mean if they say something bad about us “christian tea baggers” can we take that as an attack on us???

Everytime they insinuate we are “knuckle draggin neadertals” can we demand they libtards inthe press be arrested immediately?

Do they really want to go down this road....

At least you weren't TOTALLY forthright, identifying the reality of them being goat and camel humpers, towel-heads, women-abusers, and generally just dung in robes.....

The founders didn’t know about Twitter and facebook just like they didn’t know about the AR-15s and AK-47s.....

So break out those typeset presses and start printing whatever you want about the “Mo Mad Man”

Oh and always carry a muskett....

The PC elitist thugs would do well to remember: We are protected from their totalitarian agenda by the First Amendment, and if that fails, the Second.

Federal Civil Rights Laws. Lately it seems everything means the opposite of what it claims to mean. Which is a valid civil right—to not be offended or to speak freely? But Democrats have already stated their disdain for the Constitution and the founding principals of this country. This is not unexpected.

But the godless liberal bigots can continue saying anything untoward they wish against Christianity right? Even those in government who call us bitter clingers and potential terrorists?
