Thirteen House Democrats have proposed legislation that would require the government to study hate speech on the Internet, mobile phones and television and radio.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and 12 other House Democrats, would look at how those media are used to "advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate."
The Hate Crime Reporting Act, H.R. 3878, is meant to update a 20-year-old study from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). That study, delivered to Congress in 1993, looked at hate speech on radio, TV and computer bulletin board
Jeffries says the NTIA needs to see how hate speech is transmitted over the various new modes of communication that have sprung up over the last two decades...

Hate speech is anything that offends liberals.
The damn Muslims are probably pushing it.
I HATE DEMOCRATS!
(Just trying to help with the study.)
I’ll second that (to help with their study) and it’s getting worse every day.
I have a strong feeling that someone named Hakeem isn’t worried about that 200 year old parchment.
In other words, shut down 4chan.
In other words, shut down 4chan.
It is called censorship.
Are they going to start with the DUmp, Daily KOokS, and pretty much the entire MSLSD programming schedule?!
These define the word 'vile'.
And so it begins. The systematic destruction of the internet to prevent the masses from learning what they don’t want us to know. And to shut us up, of course, since political correctness has become such a joke.
Rep. Pocan, Mark [D-WI-2]* 01/15/201 - He’s a flamer on an epic scale. I hear around these parts his “husband” specializes in producing commercial porn videos that depict straight males succumbing to homosexual advances. I’m serious.
So we have Sen. Baldwin - the lesbian and Rep. Pocan the homo due to the huge numbers of queens and fairies that flocked to Madison in the 1980’s - so that must be what they’re talking about with this “hate” horseshit. People with things they’d like hidden like to control speech.
Please remember, hate is literally “in the eye of the beholder”. What one person can argue as a moral issue another can declare to be “hate”. The Bible is a hate speech document to militant gays.
This entire line of thinking (to remove “hate” speech from public discourse) is just a thinly veiled attack on free speech. The main point of free speech is “who decides?” on what should be allowed...this is just another step in the direction of the politically correct saying, “we do”. Mentioning “Jesus” publicly is “offensive”, you have teachers that really think it is not allowed to say his name in school.
I swear we’re doomed...it can’t see an end to this madness. At some point somebody very innocent is going to be found “guilty” of something and punished to an extreme. At which point we’ll have to start making a decision....
So there going to shut down NBCCBSABDCNNMSNBC?.
