McCain/Palin need to be Censured by Congress for Promoting Hate Speech, and Quickly...
If Congress were to weigh in on this Hate Speech Promotion by McCain it might bring things to a head, and shut the SOB down. He needs to be CENSURED, or at least an Attempt by MORAL Congressmen to bring this ATTACK ON A US SENATOR to the attention of Normal, Peace loving Americans.

I'm sure what he is doing is AGAINST the Senate RULES in some form or fashion.

Maybe we need to Write to our Senators and DEMAND that McCain CEASE and DESIST this INCITATION against a US SENATOR.

I'm going to start by writing to Any and ALL Congressmen in the Judiciary, Wexler, Conyers, etc and demand answers to why a Sitting Senator can Hurl HATE SPEECH, Call another Senator a TERRORIST Sympathiser..

This is beyond the Pale, and needs to end now, calling someone an Imbecile is one thing, but THIS?

Please write to your Congressmen and Women and demand this END with at minimum PUBLIC CENSURE of McCain.

Thanks for posting this!

Remember folks, to be classy, remove the element of rage or overly dramatic emotion and just state the Facts as you see them, never become your enemy :)

I'm writing Today!

Y'know maybe we should all write to Rachel @MSNBC.com and fill her box, she Listens and has very high ratings.. Tell her there's a ground swell of concerned citizens hammering Congress to Censure McCain.. Create the news you want to hear :)

5. Great!
Thanks for adding the link, anything we think we can do in this regard, we need to act..

Write to Blogs, spread this as an idea whose time has come - There are RULES OF CONDUCT required for being a Senator, and I'm sure that McCain has overstepped those bounds.

Now Palin, I'm sure she's another story, but there are CANNONS that those in the Executive Branch must adhere to as well.

I'm totally positive that what McCain is doing personally is a BREACH of CONDUCT.

Thanks again for the link!

17. If that is the Second part of the McCain waiting line
there was a fellow THERE that said some things that I think the SS may be interested in, he came REAL CLOSE to saying that Obama should be killed, the interviewer even asked him..

Frightening.

They are stirring the pot for creating mayhem even if they LOSE.

McCAIN is ASSASSINATING Obama's Character, because he Cannot WIN on the Issues.

I suppose I'll send it to CNN as well. They should all share in being so proud of themselves for the lack of information these people have. I try really hard to not give in to fear..just acknowledge it and do what I can and move on. But this shit is so devastating. Just when you think you've seen it all.

It should make the news.. it's a GOOD News Story, and if Congress is even CONSIDERING IT, that's all we need to shut the old McHATE down, if it's possible.. we know he'll be slippery, say he never DIRECTLY called Obama a TERRORIST Sympathiser..

Born Liar that he is.

He has NO HONOR to go here.

Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 06:25 PM by 1corona4u
Bill, I know you are aware of the smears that McCain and Palin have been spreading about Obama lately. The problem is, they are ratcheting up racial hatred in this country, and as a person who spends a great deal of time on the internet, I can tell you, some republicans are reaching a breaking point, where they are threatening Obama, and threatening riots, 'kill him', etc. and maybe it's time for them to be censured. I fear that they are getting people so worked up about a black president that something bad is on the verge of happening. Many of us in the democratic party will be contacting our Senators across the country to ask that somehow someone put a stop to what we view as ratcheting up hate crimes. PLEASE Bill, see what you can do before blood is shed.

Thanks,
XXXXXXX

Tomorrow, I call and follow up.

11. Time to take the Gloves OFF..
There's more than one way to skin a pitbull :)

I'm sure that MILLIONS of Americans are pissed off at this VILE line of attack, the more we can get Hammering on this subject, the more likely it may scare the burning pants off of McCain.

And if we can shut up Pork Barrel Palin in any measure I'm sure everyone will appreciate that.

There ARE legal minds talking about this potentially being a Criminal Act by them, especially since it's happened more than ONCE, and have to be aware of it by now.

Who LET THE DOGS OUT?! :)

THis is OUR AMERICA too, and we're going to TAKE IT BACK.

28. I don't even have a problem with druggie and liar
that's all part of the campaign, though dirty it's fairly expected in this day and age.. but a Terrorist Sympathizer?

They really have GONE TOO FAR.. I don't think MOST of AMERICAN will condone THIS, and especially when you see the crowds in line saying horrible things, one nearly stepped over the line and said Obama should be killed. I'd send that footage to the SS if I were the film maker.

Will write them now! :applause:

DONE!

" I am growing very concerned with the level of hate speech by the McCain campaign. They are calling Barack Obama a terrorist now. This sentiment is then magnified on the RW radio shows. If they do not stop this - something awful may happen. Have you seen the reaction of the people they are inciting at their rallies? It is frightening.
Surely as a senator, John McCain is answerable to the Senate for this kind of conduct. Doesn't it violate some rule of the senate?
It was bad enough when he called Obama, "that one," but this business of stirring the rallies with accusations of him being a terrorist is outright dangerous.
Can McCain be censured for such conduct? If so, it needs to be done to stop this now.
Sincerely,

23. I believe that McCain was being interviewed by Gibson
and made a remark that indicated (and I'm paraphrasing) that Obama's career "was started with two unrepentant domestic terrorists"..

I'm pretty sure that's against SOME Code of Ethics in the Senate, to say such a thing against a sitting Senator, and it has nothing to do with chilling free speech either, he's inciting people to Riot and or perform some other unspeakable act..

I'll look for the link and post it here..

29. Thank you very much
I was out for a few hours and came back to a lot of people freaking out and I didn't know why. I hope that you are right that he has crossed a line that can be punished.

We are at war with terror. Obama is a terrorist sympathizer just like Iraq allegedly was and the Taliban. we go to war with sympathizers as if they were terrorists therefore we are at war with Obama. That's the logic of their statements so why didn't McCain not just cuff him on stage and arrest him the other night? How many nutjobs just need marching orders like this? It's such a scary time we live in.



PS Aloha means to me that Symbolman is a true patriot and innovator who started doing protest internet movies before anyone. No one does these movies better and they have been informative and reassuring to me over many years. So do I win the house now? ;)

Aloha means THAT? I LIKE IT, lol.. if it was up to me (and you'd sent in the $100 entry), I'd go with that one in a heartbeat :) But we're not even going to know WHO has written the Entries, they'll be stripped of any identifying info, and in the end a panel of judges will make the call, we won't have much to do with it..

But, it makes my heart soar like a hawk my friend, I wish I could make MORE flash works, and I wish I could WORK for Obama as well, frankly I need the work, I'm literally at the point where I can't afford meds I need.. I may start getting very sick starting tomorrow, and am frightened.. but as my dad used to say, "Somehow we muddle through.."

Thanks for thinking of me, and let's get those cards and letters to the Senate, Pelosi, Reid, Conyers, ANYONE in the Judiciary.

Send a BLIZZARD of outrage, and they'll listen, and I'm sure the media would be rubbing their hands over something like this..

Good IDEA! Write 'em all, cut and paste is your friend :)

26. Guys, I am as angry as you are. But we need to let the Republicans clamp down on this.
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 06:47 PM by elkston
Otherwise, fair or not, they are going to come back and say that Obama is "playing the race card".

This whole issue of the "race card" just inflames some white men who go through life inisiting that reverse-racism is a huge issue and that black-white relations are OK just because we passed the Civil Rights act.

Anyway, no dobut some of these guys may be supporting Obama because for the most part, he HASN'T made race an issue in this campaign.

I would just hate for it to backfire.

Somebody on KOS posted that Colin Powell, Hagel, or some other respected Republican needs to come out against the fires McCain/Palin are stoking.

We KNOW this isn't really the 'race card', but we can't take that chance. Lets get Obama elected first. Once we pass the threshold of a first black President, we can talk more openly about race again.

27. This isn't just about RACE, it's about HATE CRIMES, and HATE SPEECH.
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 06:51 PM by 1corona4u
See;

Hate speech is a term for speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite violence or prejudicial action against a person or group of people based on their race, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, language ability, moral or political views, socioeconomic class, occupation or appearance (such as height, weight, and hair color), mental capacity and any other distinction-liability. The term covers written as well as oral communication and some forms of behaviors in a public setting. It is also sometimes called antilocution and is the first point on Allport's scale which measures prejudice in a society. Critics have claimed that the term "Hate Speech" is a modern example of Newspeak, used to silence critics of social policies that have been poorly implemented in a rush to appear politically correct.





LEGAL;


Legal aspects
In the United States, government is broadly forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting speech. Jurists generally understand this to mean that the government cannot regulate the content of speech, but that it can address the harmful effects of speech through laws such as those against defamation or incitement to riot.

{snip}
An alternative to legal regulation or criminalization of speech, particularly in jurisdictions such as the United States that extend broad protection to the content of speech, is the use of tort law to pursue Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) claims against those accused of hate speech. Law and precedent concerning intentional torts and the necessary elements which establish liability in an IIED claim place limits on when such a claim may arise.

33. that is not acceptable...
this isn't some reporter on Fox News. This is a United States Senator, and a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. I know we are in very many ways a Banana Republic, but if we sit still for this..why even bother with a frigging election? Why not just sit back and let our country die?

36. Then let the Republicans ALSO Censure him
and if they know what's good for them they will, because they are LOSING and they'd better get on the right side of the winner..

Of course they ARE stupid and hateful, and may not recognize that this is HATE SPEECH, to them it's watercooler talk..

They can Join in the Censure or Explain WHY they won't..

Works for me.

Find Republicans to do this. Focus on issues of importance and keep the other attacks subliminal.

40. Race doesn't need to enter into this
but is one aspect, Hate Speech is Hate Speech.. This is a SITTNG SENATOR, and You literally cannot SAY this IN the WELL of Congress and I'm betting you can't say it in PUBLIC.

Up thread there's a legal definition and it seems to fit in a number of ways.

Leadership would include Congress Shutting McCain's Hate Speech the Hell UP..

48. McKKKain and Palin have no shame or decency
They are whipping up a firestorm of racial hatred.

Hmm.. economy on the brink of the next Great Depression plus vicious racial hate, where have we seen this before?



Oh yeah...:scared::hide:

50. Exactly
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 08:35 PM by symbolman
And the same ignorant cries of "Socialist" and "Commie Pinko Fag".. When are these people going to get some New material?

Love how those Attending the McCain bash are yelling "Get a Job!" at the protestors while THEY don't appear to be At Work Themselves.. No irony There, eh?

The correct answer would be, "And how much longer do You think You're going to have a Job, or a House for that matter?"

51. Excellent point
My senator, Russell Feingold, has had a long love-fest with McCain, and even though I like some of Feingold's "maverick" streak, the campaign of hatred needs to be spoken against by Russ.

53. Yes they Do! And, just in the nick of time..all responsible
people everywhere have to come together and stop it now! There've been precidents where mob mentality wasn't stopped in time.

Two quotes from today on two different sites..dailykos via DU and starlightnews..
This is what needs to done.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/9/204719/724/789/...
"Needless to say, this is a huge story, folks. We need to jump on this story fast and strong as an antidote to the Palin demagoguery that has crossed the lines of racism and hate mongering."


http://www.starlightnews.com
"Meanwhile, it is time to start using the term “demagogue” to describe McPalin, and compare their rallies to Nazi rallies, for that is what they are doing, whipping up people to hatred and possibly violence. This is the McCain version of Country First."

57. Done! K and R
Dear Senator Murry,

We have become very concerned about the tone that has been taking place at the McCain/Palin Rallies.

We believe they are engaging in stirring up the crowd into a frenzy of HATE. People in the crowd call out "Kill Him" about senator Obama, or Terrorist. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Yet we have seen it for 4 days, go on.

We believe it is very dangerous for our already fragile society. Nerves are raw with the election and the financial meltdown.

Palin and McCain resort to vicious attacks on Senator Obama's character. The crowds react in a MOP mentality of HATE.

We believe they need to be CENSURED!

Someone must stop this behavior of we will be having RIOTS or a Civil War.

Please speak with the appropriate authorities.

If we can not live in a CIVIL society, what is left for us?

We are a nation of Laws! Hate Crimes are AGAINST the law.

Thank you,

XXXXX
