GRANDMOTHER SUES MCCAIN FOR HATE SPEECH!

[Phx_Dem]

There's video at the link. Bless her heart.


A Kansas City grandmother is suing John McCain and Sarah Palin for promoting hate speech. Mary Kay Green told KSHB that some statements at McCain campaign rallies terrify her as much as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

"I know the secret service is on this case, but John McCain and Sarah Palin can stop some of this by a statement that they abhor these death threats and will not tolerate them," said Green.

The 66-year-old civil attorney, a lifelong Democrat, claims in the suit that the McCain campaign has intentionally and recklessly portrayed Barack Obama as a terrorist.

Green said, "You have to take these things seriously."

Green believe that Palin has been working crowds into a frenzy. There have been reports from McCain campaign rallies with words like "kill him," "off with his head," and "Muslim terrorist."

According to Green, her father managed the Nebraska campaigns of John and Robert Kennedy. After both were felled by assassins, her father died "of grief."

11. Wonder why the article frames her as Granny rather than a civil attorney

If she were younger, would she be referred to as "mother" or "daughter"?

Just wonderin'.....

Anyway, go granny!!!

12. Amazing how this election harkens back to JFK, MLK, and RFK for so many people

-since Obama inspires such high standards.

We have so much opportunity to heal as a nation.

13. For Ted Kennedy, too. He passed the Kennedy torch to Obama at the Convention. Not to any of his

relatives. To Obama.

20. I think it's great she is doing this

but don't expect anything to come of it. She'll unfortunately get laughed out of court after this gets assigned to some ass puckered conservative judge. I believe the standard for proving hate speech is pretty high.

21. I agree that her case will fail

It wouldn't take a conservative judge, either. If I were the judge, I'd throw her out of court faster than you can say "First Amendment".

Progressives should think long and hard before endorsing judicial control over political speech.

22. She should sue Fox News too.

That is practically all they talk about whenever I channel surf and stop on that network. Ayers and ACORN all day, every day. I thank her for trying to bring to the forefront the horrible behavior of the McCain campaign.
