Author Topic: Black Congressman Advocates Law Limiting Free Speech (Read 679 times)

lgm270 · « **on:** November 29, 2012, 02:38:48 PM »

GA Black congressman Hank Johnson thinks the government should pass a law limited the free speech rights of corporations. This is the guy who thought Guam would tip over and capsize if a Marine division was deployed there. He is a moron.

Somebody should tell this moron that newspaoers, publishing houses, broadcasting netorks and motion picture studios are all operated by corporations. If you limit free speech for corporations, you wipe out the free press in this country. Corporations are simply individuals who come together for a common purpose in an organization. Other organizations that jointly exercise free speech are churches, National Rifle Association, social clubs, etc.

To think that 600,000 whites died in the Civil War to allow this idiot to say these things. What a waste of life. If he wants free speech limited, let him limit his own free speech and shut up!

Nope...He is also a dumbass. The first time I saw him talking about Guam capsizing I had a hard time accepting that he was actually being serious.

Don't bother telling him anything, just beat him permanently senseless - oh wait, he is that already. OK, then beat him worse.

Say what you want about this nutcase. It's the thousands of idiots that voted for him I worry about. They are the ones that we'll be coming into contact with when the SHTF. gypsyman

From lgm270:
"GA Black congressman Hank Johnson thinks the government should pass a law limited the free speech rights of corporations.

Why do you feel compelled to insert "Black" in red ink no less in the original statement you posted?

the red "black" was my removal of an offensive term for "black" that is not appropriate for a family website. The next time I will delete the whole thing.

I don't care if some congressman is blue. white, orange or green... If he's that stupid he doesn't belong in congress... but then again..perhaps that is a very convenient place for stupid people to hang out..there's little danger of being exposed..

What's even worse..
A) Nobody's free speech should be curtailed..

B) As gypsyman pointed out..he is just one stupid person; imagine how many positively daft people voted for him?

In my opinion,Free Speech in the USA has been dead and buried for sometime now.We can no longer express whats on our mind,without being labeled a nutjob, raciest or charges filed for inflammatory/hate/assult,or just he/she hurt my feelings.

Showing my age,I remember the only word we could not say was FIRE,in a crowded theater,when there was no fire at all.

One of the first things at a young age we were taught was,Sticks And Stones May Brake My Bones,But Names/Words Will Never Harm Me.

I know kinda corney by today's standards!

I guess your family never heard of the United Negro College Fund?

The word "negro" was used in all the big civil rights cases from Brown v. Bd. of Education on down. Marcus Garvey, the famous black nationalist, organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association and promulgated the Declaration of Negro Rights. Garvey was an extraordinary man who was actually elected to be a Black leader, who proposed an ambitious plan for economic development within the Negro community of his day. The NAACP used its political muscle to have him convicted of "mail fraud" and kicked out of the country, so frightened was the NAACP of competition for Negro membership and support were they.

Here is a link to the Journal of Negro History established in 1916.

Historically, there was never anything wrong with the word "Negro." It was entirely respectable and was never intended as or used as an epithet. The disapproval of the word came in very recently among PC people with an ax to grind and the ability to dictate to other Americans how we talk and to exert control over history.

My question was why you felt compelled to insert anything to indicate race? Why not simply leave it as a congressman? Race had nothing to do with what appears would be a fairly weird statement from anyone in office.

Guzzi;
Is it just possible that this congressman;.. one who seems universally quick to point out even an imagined possibility of someone encroaching upon civil rights...is all too hasty to abrogate our "freedom of speech" rights? (1st article of our Bill of Rights..remember?)

Perhaps lgm270 was touched by the ridiculous irony...at least, that's how I read it..

Do you agree with Rep Johnson, that some rights are indeed more precious than others? If you do agree with him...perhaps you can furnish us a "top ten" rights list.. Somehow, I doubt you agree with Johnson..

for that matter, why allow a "Black cacus" to thrive within the congreessional body? how about the women? black women? hispanic women? hispanics? asian decent? asian women? the list goes on...
this congress is near completley dysfunctional and paralyzed with fear of being called a "Racist", "Hatemonger", "women hater" etc, etc

Wearing your pants around your knees and showing your underwear now falls under "free speech"
in my day that was indecent exposure.
today free speech is protected only for minorities.

You want to talk about screwball dingbats--don't leave out the Queen--Nancy Pilosi and there are a bunch of others. As a matter of fact, most of the left side of both houses of Congress would have a problem with averaging an IQ above room temperature.

Sometimes the truth hurts...but it still can be uproariously funny..
