A Kansas City lawyer and supporter of Barack Obama for president has filed suit in federal court, alleging that the Republican ticket has incited violence against the Democratic nominee.
In her suit against Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin and campaign manager Rick Davis, Mary Kay Green said she has been injured by their campaign tactics and suffers “terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear” for Obama’s life.
Green, an occasional contributor of letters to the editor for The Kansas City Star on legal and political issues, said the GOP campaign has used false hate speech to work their supporters into a frenzy, leading to death threats against Obama.
In an interview, Green said she worked as a young woman in the presidential campaigns of both John and Robert Kennedy in Nebraska. Though she has asked for $6 million in damages, Green said the money is not important. The suit is a moral plea to the Republicans to temper their language, she said.
“I will not tolerate another assassination,” Green said. “I have an obligation as an attorney to speak out and use my voice to say to John McCain and Sarah Palin that you must stop this behavior. You are participating in these death threats and have lost all protection from the First Amendment.”
The suit, Green filed Tuesday, has been assigned to a federal court mediation program for resolution.
Let me guess, she is black?
The Neocomm brownshirts march on...
ACORN NUT! So sick of the racist rants coming from the left. They are going to push this too far. I don’t know one single person that doesn’t like Obama because he is black. They don’t like him because he is a radical leftist/marxist trying to hide his true identity from the American people. When I ask my friends if they know anyone who does not like Obama because of his race, they say absolutely not. It is ridiculous! If there are riots in the streets after this election, it will be the media,the Obama campaign and the democrats fault!
Perhaps I can join her in a class action suit as the tee-shirts calling Gov. Sarah Palin a word not permitted on TV is resurrecting the anxiety and grave fear I felt when they called my President a liar, murderer and Hitler and had a bulleye with his photo as their target.
Hooooo K .. what exactly is "false hate speech"? Is it kinda like "Jumbo Shrimp" or something like that?
The suit is a moral plea to the Republicans to temper their language
Right. Speech which she disagrees with is now considered "hate speech"
“I have an obligation as an attorney to speak out and use my voice to say to John McCain and Sarah Palin that you must stop this behavior. You are participating in these death threats and have lost all protection from the First Amendment.”
Circular (il)logic there sweetie ... First Amendment free speech which you disagree with is now not protected by the First Amendment, because you say so .....
Go back to Woodstock, will ya please ! SHEESH !!!
Of course. there must be a separation of sheep from goats.
I’ve just been subjected to Mary Kay Green’s picture and I am suffering emotional trauma. Ms. Green (I presume you are a Ms.), please send me 2.1 million dollars as restitution for causing such fright and emotional distress.
See photo in post #7 - she’s white!
First Truth Squads, Then 0bama Youth, Then Thought Police. And finally, Stalin-esque Gulags for political dissenters.
I guess that is gonna be my new retirement plan. I figure I am gonna live out the rest of my short life in one of 0bama's Gulags.
Yet you wasted your time responding to this? And an insult to boot!
Yea, I saw it later. Man, she is ugly. Looks like the south end of a mule heading north.
Oh yes its another “its all about me” liberal. Why I bet she even quoted a few Bible verses that she twisted out of context while bring this “suit”.
Please tell me this is a sick joke.
Darth Obama Vader, you have underestimated the power of the liar madia!
has anyone read the communist party USA website they put their support behind Obama and their agenda is almost verbatem to the democratic party. The problem we face is madia. Its a perversion of freedom of the press when we are supposed to be able to get out what ever we need to. but the FCC and other fed nonsense is perverting the right of free speech and expression of idea. they lock up the polls the mainstream media Tv, news papaers, talk shows, magazines etc ... and put their filth on TV instead and in the media instead while the real issues get overlooked, and the dooped ones would rather get their jollies of something stupid, and then they vote “oh Obamas about change well that does it for me if hes about change I know who to vote for then”. What a Joke! How about voter fraud libs, how about being a buddy to terroists libs, how about buddy buddy relationships with nut jobs like rev wright libs. and you know this voter fraud has been going on for a long time now. and they are just now checking it out. wheres the media?
I’m guessing false hate speech is speech that isn’t hateful, but is designed to fool liberals into thinking it is. Kind of like a false bottom in a desk drawer.
That's just Wrong. I am gonna file suit with FreeRepublic for causing me undue stress.
I think its similar to “true fiction”....Dan Rather can explain it better then I though
