Bill Introduced Targeting Internet “Hate Speech”
We have known for generations that the triumph of the Left will mean the end of freedom of speech. It is unthinkable that sites like Moonbattery.com would continue to exist if Democrats had the leverage to suppress them. Facing only the floundering, unprincipled, and essentially useless Republican Party in the way of opposition, some liberals feel that the time is already ripe to do to the First Amendment what they long ago did to the Tenth.
Thirteen House Democrats have proposed legislation that would require the government to study hate speech on the Internet, mobile phones and television and radio.
By now even the most clueless are aware that “hate speech” is defined as speech hated by the Left. But you’ll never get anyone on the Left to admit it, as their agenda can only be advanced under a smoke screen of euphemisms and lies.
Among the bill’s sponsors is Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who intones,
“The Internet is a wonderful vehicle for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. But it can also be used as a platform to promote hate and target vulnerable individuals.”
“Vulnerable individuals” is Newspeak for “politically favored groups.”
The focus will be on sites allegedly encouraging “hate crimes” relating to “race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.” This means that sites deemed not to promote the interests of blacks, women, Muslims, and perverts will targeted for repression. These group interests will be defined by left-wing demagogues and community organizer types like Al Sharpton and Dan Savage.
Unsurprisingly, the NAACP and NOW support the bill, which is a first step toward silencing the opponents of their toxic radical agendas. An official statement from NOW expresses “hope that the study will address continuing hate speech that vilifies women seeking reproductive health care” — i.e., that it will be used to silence critics of abortion.
Only if liberalism is turned back decisively can the liberties that have always defined this country be preserved.
