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.

There is a name for that dems.
Oh and Louis Farrakhan can say whatever the heck he wants along with the Blackpanters.
This country is so screwed up. At some point we will need to stand up for equal under the law, not equal under the opinions and whims of those with power.
No kidding, one way to do it is to elect anybody but Hillary - these libs will kill us.
Thanks to the GOP for voting to confirm this Marxist monster as the guardian of our nation’s laws!
Let us know where to draw the line on our First Amendment rights, Ms. Attorney General. I don’t want some liberal attorney in DC making a subjective decision on which words I can use while another attorney—say Justice Alito— might have a different view
Ten Republican senators broke ranks and sided with Democrats to get Lynch over the 50-vote threshold: Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
Ayotte, Kirk, Portman and Johnson are up for reelection in 2016. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate who said he would oppose Lynch, missed the vote.

Every time I see her name-Loretta Lynch-I think `Coal miners daughter’: the country singer.
But she’s just a count/
Excellent point! And then they can ask her if she will make the same commitment to whites and cops when the BLM protest call for killing police
Asshat Portman included.
Good post! Sounds like maybe just transposing her first and last name...
I’d like to take a moment to “thank” the feckless capon repub weaklings and quislings who approved this affirmative action loser as attorney general. Thanks a lot, you traitors-to-the-electorate.
She cancelled it for white, conservative Christian males. It still has full force for the Leftist, Islamofachist Haters and Murders inside and outside govt.
How about when I contend Islam should be completely outlawed in order to spare American lives?
No. Only directly, clearly and publicly calling for the murder of Muslims, because they are Muslims, would cross the threshold.
Nancy Pelosi and Janet Napolitano (a while back) already called tea party supporters “potential terrorists” just for disagreeing with the Obama admin’s policies.
I’d say the war on free speech was on from that point ... and they started it.
These people have NO regard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights at all. None, nada, zip.
They’ll line people up against a wall in a heartbeat for speaking as soon as they think they can get away with it, which will not be long from now if things continue the way they are.
Now both sides want to trash the Constitution. And for Muslims???
Well Lorretty needs to enjoy her last 13 mos because The Donald is going to get sworn in next Jan and look at her and say “you’re fired”.
2016 is coming.
Hey, Loretta, there are FOUR TIMES as many hate crimes directed against Jews as Muslims. My local public access TV channel is filled with anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish shows.
