LORETTA LYNCH HAD ALSO DONE HER OWN DANCE OWN THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION --- AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF NYS GEORGE PATAKI RESPONDED STRONGLY<br /><br />On Friday night, United States Attorney General Lynch spoke at a dinner held by the Muslim Advocates, a national legal advocacy group. That was on the night following the massacre of 14 Americans in San Bernardino by Islamic radical terrorists Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik.<br /><br />She assured the pro-Muslim group that “we stand with you”; and she said she would use her Justice Department to protect Muslims from “violence” and discrimination and here's the kicker >>> she promised to PROSECUTE anyone wh engaged in what she described as "violence-inspiring speech."<br /><br />Lynch stated that -- “When we talk about the First Amendment we [have to] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted.”<br /><br />FORMER GOVERNOR PATAKI'S RESPONSE<br />Former New York State Governor George Pataki, also a Republican candidate for president in 2016, responded with a Tweet calling for the DEATH of Islamic radicals as follows: "We must declare war on radical Islam. @LorettaLynch I'm not edging toward violent speech, I'm declaring we kill them. Go ahead, arrest me."Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-58232111832685130222015-12-05T16:59:40.286-05:002015-12-05T16:59:40.286-05:00UPDATE: THE "OBVIOUSLY, THE WASHINGTON POST S...UPDATE: THE "OBVIOUSLY, THE WASHINGTON POST SAW THAT I MEANT BUSINESS" EDITION<br /><br />WAPO CRITICIZES NY TIMES FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL CALLING FOR CONFISCATION OF CERTAIN GUNS AS MOST-LIKELY COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE<br /><br />ANOTHER LIBERAL MEDIA OUTLET IS QUITE WORRIED ABOUT A BACKLASH OF THE SORT THAT I ENGAGED IN ABOVE<br /><br /><br />According to one of the columnists for the Washington Post, "Once a century or so, the New York Times feels so strongly about an issue that it releases an editorial from the confines of the opinion page and lets it run free on the front page. On Saturday, the Times's view on "The Gun Epidemic" is on the loose -- on A1, above the fold...." (See "The folly of the New York Times pleading for gun control on Page 1" by Callum Borchers, 12/5/15, Washington Post/ The Fix [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/05/the-new-york-times-pushes-for-gun-control-on-the-front-page-but-does-that-even-help-the-cause/]). <br /><br />And here's what the WaPo guy had to say about that Times editorial: ".... [T]he New York Times is the New York Times. Swing voters in Middle America aren't its subscribers, and the swing voters in Congress don't have to appeal to voters who care much about what the New York Times thinks. In fact, you could make a pretty convincing case that this would have the opposite of the intended effect by overreaching on something most Americans simply don't think will do much to prevent mass shootings.... [T]he New York Times is the New York Times.

In fact, you could make a pretty convincing case that this would have the opposite of the intended effect by overreaching on something most Americans simply don't think will do much to prevent mass shootings.... Republicans have relentlessly accused the "mainstream media" (of which the Times is a flagship member) of advancing a liberal agenda. What they often fail to recognize -- or deliberately ignore -- is the separation of news and opinion. They'll read a column, blog or editorial that is critical of their policies and then angrily tell supporters that they can't get a fair shake in straight news reports. Most of the time, their complaints are unfounded or greatly exaggerated.... I this case, however, the Times has (at least temporarily) knocked down a wall by placing an editorial in a spot normally reserved for news. That... does give those candidates new cause for suspicion -- a cause they will almost certainly exploit on the campaign trail."<br /><br />Yes, Republican presidential candidates and Galewyn Massey and his followers --- the left wing media is worried now.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.com
