Lynch recalibrates message on hateful speech |
2015-12-08 |
[POLITICO] Attorney General Loretta Lynch Monday appeared to recalibrate remarks she made last week that suggested the Justice Department could investigate speech deemed hostile towards Muslims. I can't tell the difference. They both act the same. "Of course, we prosecute deeds and not words," she said at a press conference Monday to announce an unrelated civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department. Some conservatives criticized Lynch for her comments to a Muslim civil rights group, where she lamented "the ability of people to issue hateful speech of all types from the anonymity of a screen." Speaking to a Muslim Advocates dinner in Arlington, Va., Lynch affirmed that "this is a country that is based upon free speech." However, she went on to suggest that the Justice Department would "take action" when such speech "edges towards violence, when we see the potential to lift...that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric." |

#5 She sent the chill across society that she intended to. Now for the legal backtracking just in case. And nothing about doing anything to stop the actual target of religious hate in the US. |

#4 This administration and its lackeys have been putting mooslimb rights above American citizen's right since the beginning. Little surprise they keep doing it, even in broad daylight at this point. |

#3 "Of course, we prosecute deeds and not words," she said for now. |

#2 Option 1: Attorney General Loretta Lynch over-spoke. Considering her profession, that's highly unlikely. Option 2: Attorney General Loretta Lynch was pandering to Muslim interest groups. Option 3: Attorney General Loretta Lynch was repeating the line handed to her by the White House. Option 4: Attorney General Loretta Lynch was working under Options 2 or 3 and backtracked when her remarks made the press. |

#1 Now the campaign against the 'deniers' of the 'Religion of Peace'(tm). [not that the historical fact that Buddhism and Christianity were originally spread by the word, while Islam was spread by the sword should ever be pointed out] |
