Big chill: Feds want to scour Net, media for ‘hate speech’

WND – by Aaron Klein

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.”

The bill does not define which actions by broadcasters would be considered to have encouraged violence, seemingly leaving that open to interpretation.

Once the report is compiled, the bill calls for “any recommendations” for action “consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States” that is determined to be an “appropriate and necessary” way to address the purported encouragement of violent acts.

The Boston Herald took issue with the bill, calling it “frankly chilling” that Markey is seeking to “empower an obscure federal agency to begin scouring the Internet, TV and radio for speech it finds threatening.”

“Perhaps he could crack a briefing book on the crisis in Ukraine rather than looking for his own extra-constitutional methods of punishing speech he finds unacceptable,” added the Herald editorial.

  1. “The bill does not define which actions by broadcasters would be considered to have encouraged violence, seemingly leaving that open to interpretation.”

    This bill makes it legal for Obama and Holder to silence any speech they don’t like, or is critical of them, by simply claiming that is might encourage others toward violence.

    We knew it would eventually come to this, because a government of lies and liars cannot allow itself to be confronted with the truth, and that’s exactly what has them surrounded on all sides. What the fools don’t realize is that it’s already too late for this, and their latest attempt to keep the cat in the bag only exposes their tyranny to more people.

    Just as Obama’s gun control schemes sold more guns than any gun salesman could dream of, his attempts to silence dissent always result in more dissidents shouting his name in anger.

    A “big chill” is exactly what the Zionist WND would like to see as a result of this news, but it will backfire on them as completely as the Sandy Hoax shooting did.

    Does this qualify as a “hate crime”?

    I hate the treasonous scums Obama, Holder, Panetta, Dempsey, Pelosi, Feinstein, Ogden, and that complete treasonous “administration”. I want to see them arrested, PROSECUTED, AND GIVEN THE DEATH SENTENCE!

    Plus add Bush 1, Clinton’s, Bush 2 and THEIR administrations and those who were in the pentagon at those “regimes” for the EXACT same treatment.

    Don’t up and die on us you treasonous old scum George H. W. Bush before we charge, arrest, and PROSECUTE you!

  3. What they label as “hate speech” is
    nothing more than the truth being spoken.
    And they, “Can’t Handle The Truth”

    1. Actually, the flimsy reasons for defining Americans as: “Domestic Terrorists” should also be labeled as: “Hate Speech”. Although, I presume that the labels of hate speech and domestic terrorism usually only apply to what “White” people do or say.
