Words to live byI am a First Amendment absolutist and I would like to read, amid the discussion of how the Delete key should be wielded, some more nuanced discusssion than I have seen on just where anyone believes the line should be drawn in censoring the Web, blogs or any other speech. Certainly the words and images directed at Kathy are hateful and abhorrent. If a law has been broken, the accused should be prosecuted. Let's do keep in mind, however, that that person is the one who created and posted the words and images. Beyond that, I don't see what can or should be done publicly. In case anyone hasn't noticed, anonymous abusers are not the sort of people who "own their words." There are bad people in the world. They do bad things. Bad things happen to good people. And it multiplies the violation when good people respond in kind. Instant CongressSubscribe Buttons                    | ||
Strawman arguement
This is a typical strawman arguement put forward by a religious extremist who claims Elizabeth Edwards cancer is a curse from god to end white domination of the presidency. Progressives believe in exactly what America was founded on: SEPARATION of church and state. That works in favor of BOTH churcn AND state. Confusing that with being anti-religion is doing the exact same thing Pat Robertson does...which makes since since he also thinks god goes around killing people for fun and profit.
I have no problem with blogs that are focused on religion, blacks or both. That is the great thing about the internet: we all can have our niche. I am sure you can find other Jihadists, crusaders and serial killers online to discuss just where your next curses will land.
Meanwhile, I fully intend to continue to push for separation of Church and State here on a website that is recognized as one of the ones most open to participation from minorities.
