Here's what hating "whistle blowers" on government spying of monitoring citizens leads too. A Bill that will allow the Feds to scour the Internet for anything they *think* or deem as "hate speech". That would include anything said on websites like Debate Politics, concerning these subjects, based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation and create recommendations to address such crimes.

Don't think it could happen? We could be creating an environment that we didn't expect or want. Watch out who you condemn, it may be yourself.



If two Democratic lawmakers have their way, Barack Obama’s Justice Department will submit a report for action against any Internet sites, broadcast, cable television or radio shows determined to be advocating or encouraging “violent acts.”

This according to the text of a new bill from Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014 “would create an updated comprehensive report examining the role of the Internet and other telecommunications in encouraging hate crimes based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation and create recommendations to address such crimes,” stated a news release from Markey’s office.

The one-page bill, reviewed by WND, calls for the Justice Department and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to “analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”

Promoting violent acts... if that's "hate speech" then it should be watched for. As usual you're in hyped, drama queen territory where what you're typing and implying is very dramatically different than what is actually going on, and your "sky is falling" drama resembles a teen girl's. Seriously, aren't you guys tired of being thusly yet?

WND also believes 9/11 was an Act of God to punish the US for tolerating gays and believes Obama was born in Kenya.

You mean, like Sterling's punishment for his violent acts?

We'll see where the hype is coming from.

The bill also applies to those encouraging the commision of crimes of hate which are not necessarily violent since they may include acts of graffiti or vandalism.

This is a different topic. Really keep up. The government has nothing whatsoever to do with the Sterling issue, it's all NBA, sponsor and pubic pressure.
This OP is trying to equate "promoting violence" with "hate speech" by the government.

And I don't see a problem with that either, so long as the penalty is akin to conspiracy to commit hate graffiti or hate vandalism. Personally I've been against the hate-crime enhancement, but after a year back on here, I see again that really it needs to be there. The irrational, hyped, teen-age type hysterical hatred that some people exhibit, deserves more punishment than other crimes.

I do not argue in any manner that crimes should not be investigated and prosecuted but examination of all postings on the internet and other telecommunications, assisted by massive computer banks, is not compatible with the 4th amendment.

Right, nothing has anything to do with everything. See how close all those standards start to blend.

Only for conspiracy nutters that have hysteria issues.

Just remember, everything you type is being recorded and could be held against you. Even if you didn't mean it.

I suggest that you learn not to joke about violence against others, which is never funny anyway.

not so sure I agree with that. This is hilarious.

Wait a minute, you call me a conspiracy nutter, then say I'm making fun of violence? What the hell are you talking about?

Do me a favor and type Summerwind's statement above in Google and hit enter.

If we can find it that easy, you think the Feds can't?

Now type anywhere on DP, the top ten Al-Qaeda names and make the claim that you know where they'll be at any given time. And type a little Arabic along with it. Now the government is interested in that, so it's not a stretch that this might pop up on their radar. But what if just typing the "N" word becomes a no-no?

I mean, the NBA just essentially stripped a man of any association with basketball or his own multi hundred million dollar team for something he said in private. Now keep laughing and thinking nothing can touch us or will change. It's very unlikely, they'll watch 300 million people easily, but the technology to monitor us for saying the wrong things is coming soon. ;)

Sterling was not sanctioned by the government in any way, shape or form. He was sanctioned by a private entity for violating the agreed-upon standards of his participation.

Analogy fail.

How is the analogy a fail, if it's a comparison between two different organizations but similar in the respect that they want to suppress free speech?

Maybe you want to look up what the word 'analogy' means before you misuse it, or as you say fail?

Analogy: Similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar.

obviously the feds can, but its a huge slope between going after a wannabe warlord like tigger than someone like me. These things have happened in the past, but we will see it coming years in advance.

No, you won't see it coming at all that's the point. If I hadn't put up this thread/OP would you have known about this new Bill? As the government does a worse and worse job, they'll need to gain more and more control in order to stay in power. It's a very old story and history lesson.

Sad but true. I see the a internet as public so I'm not so bent out of shape about this as I would be of reading emails, listening to phone calls or reading mail.

The difference is this new Bill will allow them to use anything you've said, anywhere in print, as a reason to interpret whether you've instigated hate crimes with hate speech. That's a very wide swath of power to investigate and condemn on someones interpretive judgment.

What if you were just describing to another person about how "racism and bigotry" get started and the FED' says that was a hate crime?

I have some hate speech for the Fed: Go **** Yourself.
