Loretta Lynch Vows to Prosecute Those Who Use 'Anti-Muslim' Speech That 'Edges Toward Violence'

The day after a horrific shooting spree by a "radicalized" Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence."

Speaking to the audience at the Muslim Advocate's 10th anniversary dinner Thursday, Lynch said her "greatest fear" is the "incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" in America and vowed to prosecute any guilty of what she deemed violence-inspiring speech.

Assuring the pro-Muslim group that "we stand with you," Lynch said she would use her Justice Department to protect Muslims from "violence" and discrimination.

"When we talk about the First amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American."

Claiming that violence against Muslims is on the rise and citing France's clamp down on potentially radicalized mosques, Lynch suggested the Constitution does not protect "actions predicated on violent talk" and pledged to prosecute those responsible for such actions.

Commie bitch threatens free speech. No wonder the “conservatives” in the Senate voted to confirm her to show their “bipartisanship.”

How about prosecuting that black college girl that threatened to kill 15 whites. That sounds very much like ‘Anti-White’ speech. Oh that's right, there is no protection for whites. They are only good for anti-gun props after they're dead.

Looks like a clear violation of the equal protection clause if she won’t apply the same standard to prosecuting anyone who directs the same kind of speech toward Christians or any other religion.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

The left believes that hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment. Of course they are the ones who decide what constitutes "hate speech." Lynch may be talking about "speech that edges toward violence" but that can be very loosely interpreted--anything negative about Islam can be viewed as "edging toward violence."

Another Democrat President and it will be a crime to mention the 9/11 attacks because doing so might encourage violence against Muslims.

The Left intends and plans to unite with the muslims in a marriage of convenience to wipe out the Conservatives and Christians. The muslims probably to use the Left to further their goals[eradicating their other enemies]. The mistake the Left makes are three: 1. Believing that they are more intelligent than they actually are. 2. Believing that they can con the Muslims like they conned the Conservatives and Christians.3. Believing that they are more intelligent than the muslims and can con and appease them. Mistakes two and three will prove fatal to the Left.

Most people - conservatives at least, are aware of restrictions on advocating violence with respect to the Second Amendment. Go after the Imams preaching violence in their mosques and scumbags in the Black Lives Matter movement and keep your damn fingers off our Bill of Rights.

I keep hoping there will come a tipping point where the safety/life of the reporter or the leftie.. that causes that person to see obama and his people, for who they really are. I keep thinking there will be something that will cause the reporter or the leftie to value his own life more than he does the political correctness protection of the traitor in chief.
All the evidence before them ... and not yet...

Their hatred for the conservatives is so great that it keeps them tethered to obama. We are all vulnerable because of obama’s world he’s created. A very dangerous world.

TAX-PAYING AMERICANS BEING OPPRESSED AND MARGINALIZED BY INDIVIDUALS ON THE PUBLIC PAYROLL NEED TO GO THIS ROUTE Strengthen and enact state RICO laws to nail these arrogant govt officials.

===============================================

BACKSTORY The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll (and those in elective and appointive office). The Georgia General Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.

(RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).

In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) tax-paid officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law.

To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies).

RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.

UPDATE Georgia tried convicted and jailed 27 corrupt teachers under this law.....for falsely taking public money, falsifying official school records, and so on.

==============================================

HERE'S THE PATHWAY TO LAUNCH---Texas took the lead w/ 26 state AG's, successfully arguing that Obama's beatified DACA/DAPA's were made more desirable employees than US citizens.

==============================================

Any public official using tax dollars to flout that law is a lawbreaker: in cases where govt officials on the public payroll not giving public notice is a violation at the federal level of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act, which requires notice in the Federal Register. Laws demand that taxpayers have the opportunity to submit views in writing.

===============================================

NOTE If proof is established that RICOed criminal public officials impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.

=======================================

PRIME RICO TARGETS John Boehner and his Congressional buddies are complicit in the massive fraud, waste, and criminal use of tax dollars......and the flagrant abuse of taxpayers. They could have reeled in arrogant govt agencies conducting criminal activities (DHS, EPA, IRS, BLM, HUD, DOE and DOL). They could have defunded the criminal enterprise called "Obamacare" and the Planned Parenthood parasites living the high life w/ our tax-dollars....but to taxpayers' eternal disgust....they didn't.

Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch labeling taxpayers terrorists, Bill and Hillary Clinton imperiling taxpayers' ntl security, Lois Lerner and John Koskinen targeting taxpayers, all the criminal members of Congress, and other factotums on the govt payroll should come under RICO.

====================================

Some states now have RICO laws on the books---these laws need to be updated to make sure govt employees are targeted.

At 4:30 this guy sums it up. “We are commanded to terrorize the disbelievers.” He cites chapter and verse.
