FBI director blames the internet

[loosecannon]

Crazy people will always find something that will trigger them, or feed their delusions.

Do all crazy people launch attacks on public figures in crowds? Oh wait, they almost never do.

Holy fuck! wait for it.. wait for it.

Wait for what? The outrage on the left?

The left is outraged that the shooter was a pot smoking metal head and not a tea partier.

Some TEA Partiers DO blaze weed.......

What a difference a generation makes. Forty years ago the left was telling Americans to "question authority" while they were rioting in the streets and supporting domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers. Now those same people are telling Americans to accept everything coming from political hacks connected to the Obama administration

he's probably right, and yes you were wrong. What he is saying is that some of us are unable to handle the vitriolic banter on the internet. Without wigging out and killing people.

That's a sad testament that we have devolved into a mush brain society, unable to decipher or incapable of handling alternative viewpoints, or heaven forbid...a criticism.

"some of us" being the operative phrase

as long as we consider one 9/11 intolerable and consider one stray assassination intolerable then we have to manage our risks to account for that .001% of folks who might go on a killing spree over unusually free speech

If we are willing to tolerate an occasional 9/11, abortion doc murder or Oklahoma city bombing then the current internet is probably just fine.

How would eliminating the current internet prevent any of that?

And the internet is responsible for that in what way?

If you dolts understood the first amendment you would understand there are limits. If you are opposed to pronography, you accept the government has a role in curtailing speech.

I never gave the government this right.

Remember Gerald Ford? A leftist whacko launched an attack on him in a crowd.. How about Ronald Reagan.. Right there on a crowded street a leftist whacko tried to take him out..Before the fucking internet was invented by algore

The government doesn't have any rights. It has POWER.

Hey LooseCannon. Who would you blame the Fort Hood Shooter on?

 

[manifold]

loosecannon should log off, power down, and never boot up his computer again lest the scawy internet cause him to lose his mind and go on a killing spree.


true story

 

[whitehall]

I watched the news feed on FOX. I saw him say it.

You know you have a point there, and that includes every left wing nut who thinks the power of the spoken word can spur them into a murderous frenzy.

I know, however I did not give them that power.

This will explode over the next few days.MSNBC Ed Shultz and Keith Olberman in particular already started with the blame game and guess who the focus was on?....Today's NY Daily News screamed on the front page that Sarah Palin has blood on her hands...You lefties really want to keep pushing that one?

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' blood is on Sarah Palin's hands after putting cross hair over district

Sooner or later they're gonna have to tell us who to blame the Fort Hood Shooter on.

last I checked yelling fire was a public safety issue that endanged other peoples lives and had no polital value, not political speech which is protected. Rhetoric is a tool of speech thats been used in this country since its founding, and to be honest is rather mild compared to whats it been in the past. Shame the people are becoming so wussified that they cry at being offended and look to mommy government to protect them from the big bad words instead of growing the fuck up and acting like an adult that can think and act for themselves. Insurection is not speech and neither is committing a crime or conspiracy and hate speech is an agravating factor in the commission of another crime, not a crime unto ityself (this nation is not completely ruled by pansy assed eurotrash socialist elites yet).

I'm not responsible for parenting other peoples kids. Neither should I be made responsible for it, niether should my liberty be curtailed because some people are lousy parents.

Insurrection can be aggravated by speech, that's what happened in our revolution

Given that, does the irony of your position occur to you?

Speech is not insurrection.

crimes, conspiracies and hate speech can all be speech

When you find the speech crime thats illegal... let us know. Crimes are criminal activities, conspiracies are plans of action, and hate crime laws are agrivating factors for sentencing, not crimes in and of themself.

Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is also speech.

no its not, it's public endangerment (unless of course there really is a fire)

Yet all of those are prohibited.

thats because they're not speech

And you are responsible for what you do on a public media that kids may participate in. Which is why you can be nabbed by the FBI for child sex violations if you think you are speaking to a 12 yo girl who is in fact a 46 yo FBI agent.

Attempting to solicit sex from a minor is illeagl in any medium, it's not speech. And I am not responsible for parenting other peoples kids.

You really seemed confused about what "speech" is.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

How many from the media are speaking out aginst this?

Yes...and if some wackaloon takes this anti Palin rhetoric too far...and one of the Palin's get hurt. Who are they going to blame then??
