“It is no solution to define words as violence or prejudice as oppression, and then by cracking down on words or thoughts pretend that we are doing something about violence and oppression. No doubt it is easier to pass a speech code or hate-crimes law and proclaim the streets safer than actually to make the streets safer, but the one must never be confused with the other... Indeed, equating "verbal violence" with physical violence is a treacherous, mischievous business.” LawHateDoubtViolenceStreetsCrimeInternetEasierSpeechSolutionsPrejudiceOppressionCodeConfusedNo DoubtFree SpeechHate CrimeTreacherousMischievousPhysical Violence Author:Jonathan Rauch
“To the government, terrorism committed by people who happen to be Muslim is not in any way a reflection of legitimate interpretation of Islam. You might find this hard to believe, but if you're doubting any of this, just search your own memory. All the times that we have heard that Islam's a religion of peace and that we can't use the word "terrorism" to describe it and Obama will not use it. And then remember all the times that this administration actually claims that violence by white right-wing white Christians poses a greater threat to the people of America than Islam.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveHardUseGovernmentMightHappensChristianAmericaRememberMemoriesWhiteDoubtGreaterViolenceHeardReflectionClaimsWingsThreatIslamCommittedTerrorismAdministrationInterpretationRight WingHard To Believe Author:Rush Limbaugh
