Rhetoric no longer protected in U.S.

[Pudfark]

The First Amendment served us well for a time, but now it's outdated.

Remember reading that England had arrested a guy for anti-Muslim Twitter postings in the aftermath of the Woolrich slaughter? And remember thinking, "Well, this is America, that can't happen here"?

Oh yes it can. Obama's Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee wants you to know that if you say something untoward about Muslims, the Federal government may imprison you.

"civil rights can be violated by those who post inflammatory documents targeted at Muslims on social media. “This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told The News Monday. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.” ... Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction."

The posting he offers as a "for instance" is an egregious one. And yet this country has long protected, absolutely, egregious speech, such as hardcore pornography, for a simple reason: Either you are at liberty to say what you will or you are not. If you are constantly double-thinking every word you might say, for fear of being prosecuted, you are self-censoring, in anticipation of a possible prosecution by the government.

But now comes the US Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee explicitly telling you that you may be imprisoned if a political appointee decides your political speech has crossed a line.

goofus, First Amendment law is pretty much settled. Speech has to rise to inflammatory levels, detrimental/dangerous to fellow citizens(the old 'fire' in a crowded theater example), thus egregious(your words, good dictionary look-up)rhetoric aimed at religious or other minorities is illegal, especially as clarified, and upheld by the SCOTUS, in the Civil Rights Act. Please wake up and try to join the rest of America......

I will. Especially, if they are both in jail, where they belong.
"Dufus"? I'm sure that remark was directed at "Obama's Attorney for the Eastern district of Tennessee".
You are making a "grave error", in your belief of "free speech". Don't believe me? Ask the thousands of folks who have been punished for it by Obama. The "rules" don't apply any more, either way.

Come out from under the rock.
