Chat room obscenities?! - Page 2

While I dislike the hate and intent of the chatroom villains, their 'right' to hate speech is indeed protected. It may be against the rules of the chat room (i would hope) but is not against any US laws. I hope they are banned for violating the rules of the chatroom and/or forums.

Unlike Germany, where Nazi-type affectations will put you in prison, we have few laws against hate speech, unless it incites violence.

I still agree, wholeheartedly, that the chatroom is not a place for that crap.

of course this has nothing to do with national politics but isnt it obvious that there are senators (r) that believe in slavery. but all they need to do is pretend to not be like that and it is ok then. soon they will all be dead and we can finally move ahead. jumble all that together. see how long it takes to get back on topic.

I don't think it rose to the level of criminal. Coffee, pretty much summed it up.

Yeah, personally I hate that kind of crap too. I also defend the rights of others but some people just abuse these rights, they just care about their rights but they don't care about other's rights. However, I feel sad for their hateful pathetic lives when they b!tch when they feel that their rights are not being respected....

I usually reserve my political preferences but I think I know when something's right and something's not.

LONG LIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE RIGHTS!!!!
LONG LIVE THE RIGHT TO DRINK!!!!
LONG LIVE THE RIGHTS!!!!
LONG LIVE MY MOTHER IN LAW!!!!
LONG LIVE THE FLOPPY DISK!!!!

Lott has never been proved to endorse slavery. If you have a link Ill be glad to review it. Now Byrd a democrat has. In fact he was a member of the KKK

Participation in the Ku Klux Klan

In the early 1940's, when Byrd was approximately 24 years old, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades in Matoaka, West Virginia as a child, his father having been among the hooded marchers. He "recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. After Byrd had collected the $10 joining fee and $3 charge for a robe and hood from every applicant, the Grand Dragon Joel L. Baskin for the mid-Atlantic states came down to tiny Crab Orchard, W.Va., to officially organize the chapter..."When it came time to choose the Exalted Cyclops, the top officer in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously." [3] Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, though he lamented that they involved the Klan. According to Byrd's recollection, Baskin told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob...The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities. I was only 23 or 24, and the thought of a political career had never struck me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]

He participated in the KKK for a period of time during World War II, holding the titles "Kleagle", which indicated a Klan recruiter, and "Exalted Cyclops." Byrd did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore shipyard, assembling warships.

Though Byrd did not serve himself, he commented on the 1945 controversy raging over the idea of racially integrating the military. In his book When Jim Crow Met John Bull [5], Graham Smith referred to a letter written that year by Byrd, when he was 28 years old, to racist Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, in which Byrd vowed never to fight:

"with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." [6]

If you do a lil searching RK you'll see that there is talk that Bush and his goons are largely responsible why that movie didn't hang out much in the threaters.

I guess thats why I included the "should be" amendment to my last post... Very unfortunate that hate speech is so tolerated... I wonder if this is the kind of freedom I see and hear flag-waving conservatives (sometimes waving confederate flags) chanting about...

Oh, and a one Rkingston; dont bother addressing me in any of your posts here. Ive had your name on that handy ignore list since I figured out how to use it. Youre still invited to my house for dinner, but you can only talk politics if you want to brave my short, latin, liberal mother and the beating she can administer.
