They are intent on classifying open debate on the internet, as incitement.

Once that happens, we won’t be able to talk about much of anything, without being in danger of being considered contributing factors to any evil deed that happens, and subject to prosecution.

Then sewing forums are all of a sudden going to be flush with new posters, because that and a few other similar topics will be the only one’s U.S. Citizens can participate on safely.

Seems like the most times I have read of “violence masquerading as political activism” in news stories in the past dozen years or so, it has been almost 100% democrats, and/or their lackeys/supporters, as the ones who doing the “violence masquerading as political activism”. I am very serious in this!

You know, I think you are right.

I think murder is already illegal.

They could try to ban pagan socialists though

Holder - Obama felt so badly for him he gave him a little affirmative action to help him out and made him AG.

“violence masquerading as political activism.”

Eric Holder should look up "fascist" in the dictionary. Because that little quote of his is the very essence of something a fascist would say.

Sounds more like Obama's intention to limit the right to assemble...using "Brownshirts" to keep order if needed.

Your Question: "is this codespeak for censorship of free speech?"

Response: No.

Comment" People pass laws against that which they fear. Those presently in positions of authority fear attacks. Being bungled their fears are justified over the long run. Hence, they impose their petty little terrors on those of us who are no longer in authority, by adding penalties to conduct which they fear. Those of us that belong to Western Civilization face the problem that those presently allowed to hold office are those who were outcasts 30-40 years ago. In short we are dying of "tolerance."

I’m sure AG Holder is referring to the cold-blooded murder of white Pvt Long in Little Rock by a muslime bro. If any crime qualifies as a hate crime, that one sure does.

Had enough?

A Million Man March on Washington is being organized!

Join Dr. Orly Taitz at the Million Man March Sept.12-13

Anti-Obama organizations are being united at Freedoms First
http://www.freedomsfirst.org/
for a ‘million man’ march on Washington. http://www.resistnet.com/ is joining with a reported half a million sign up already!

The permit is secured- AND ALREADY almost A MILLION AMERICANS HAVE SIGNED UP!

This is the only way we will ever get the attention of our elected officials, the MSM and the masses- protest!

From the FreedomsFirst website:

We are moving forward on our rally in Washington D C.
We are working non stop in preparations for this historical event to be held Sept 12-13 2009 at the Lincoln Memorial Reflections pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
As for the time, The million man march that took place a few years age took over 2 years to organize, we are trying to push this through as fast as we can.
To protest in DC you have to have a permit and have approval to use a certain piece of land.

We called ahead of filing for these things. September 12 &13 were the next available days they had.
The other organization, resistnet.com, which was putting together a march for May 30, didn’t do this so they were refused their permit. Now they are joining with our group. So, we are doing this absolutely as soon we can.
To have a successful march takes time and organization.

Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obama’s ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.

PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE DEMAND THAT YOU BE TRANSPARENT NOW
We will come together in a peaceful rally.
We are proud Americans who fear that we are losing the America we all know and love.
The America where millions have served in our military sacrificing their lives so that we remain free.
A people who honor their flag and understand what it means to fly it and are so proud to do so.
It is time for our voices to be heard loud and clear. Our government is for the people and by the people.
We are Americans who see our rights slipping away as we speak.
It is time our voices are heard.
It is time for us to shout loudly and strongly that we refuse to live under a socialist regime, where our voices are silenced.
Lets take this action now before we awaken one morning and our freedoms are nothing more than a memory.

WE WILL BE UNITED- CHRISTIAN, JEW, BUDDHIST, HINDU, ATHEIST, BLACK AND WHITE.
WE WILL BE ONE- ONE OF MANY WHO STAND AS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DEMANDING OUR VOICES BE HEARD.
We will be DEMANDING THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WE DEMAND THE TRANSPARENCY HE PROMISED !!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS US ON THIS RALLY.
WITH YOUR PRAYERS, YOUR DEDICATION AND YOUR HELP, IT WILL BE
AN HISTORICAL, MAGICAL, WONDERFUL SHOW OF THE REAL AMERICA.

We ask you to wear RED, WHITE AND BLUE CLOTHING.
BRING YOUR FLAGS WAVE THEM HIGH.

Hmm, “Hate crimes masquerading as political activism”, you mean like:
-Throwing blood on people who wear fur coats
-harassing business owners who support traditional marriage
-disrupting church services to push same-sex marriage

etc.

Personally, I think all crime falls into hate crime.

Well, I'd say thievery falls under "greed crime."

Unless it's b/c their family is starving, then it's "desperation crime."

But there are places they can go that can help out...so it's really "ignorance crime."

This game is fun!
