This is a follow-up to a post I read back in October here at FR. The article is about a month old, but I could not find any posts of it in this forum.

If this post survives until tomorrow, it will surprise me as others dealing this very subject have been removed by the moderator. (...not all "thought police" are liberal, you see, some indeed claim to be conservative).

You have one of the best FR handles I've ever seen!

"'Hate words' according to the Idaho legislature," Rae told WorldNetDaily, "are nigger, spook, gook, dike, fag, chink, spic – there's not one of them in there relating to white people. There ain't 'cracker' or 'honkey.' So I say to myself, this is a law for minorities only, and that violates equal protection."

Will FR ever list the words that can cause a post to be yanked?

(We'll include "redneck" I trust? =)

Bump for later

Although I don't countenance the utterance of racial slurs, Idaho was my last hope for a sane retirement someday. Goodbye, cruel world..... ( 8~} )

The "Equality Police" strike again.

We were at McDonalds and a little black girl called my son "white boy", can we sue?

BTW we have black and white and native American ancestors, but only our European traits show, we only look caucasian.

There's no reason this post should be removed... Good article. Especially Steele's remark about "Lonny Rae is being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness so that Idaho can be seen as the so-called Human Rights State and to counter recent negative publicity garnered from the McGuckin, Aryan Nations and Ruby Ridge affairs"...

This case is such obvious bullcrap. Manley was the one who incited retaliation in the first place.

"'Hate words' according to the Idaho legislature," Rae told WorldNetDaily, "are nigger, spook, gook, dike, fag, chink, spic –

When these words are used in song lyrics and/or movies, are the people uttering them going to be charged? Are the songs and movies going to be banned in Idaho?

Do we have two classes for first amendment rights, the artist and the subjects?

Earlier this month, a jury acquitted Lonny Rae of felony "hate crime" but found him liable of assault for having hurled the epithet. City and county prosecutors refused to charge the black man with any crime.

So you can physically grab somebody and hurt them, but you can't say certain words.

Nice, really nice. This country is really going down the tubes.

Well, this IS good news...let the b*stards run with all the rope they can carry.

Maybe they could just toss the loose end over a sturdy tree branch.

"Is it time yet?"....The clock's a'tickin'.;^)

The Truth about Hate Crime Statistics.

Bottom line: do these people deserve help to appeal?
Where can help be sent?

I am not afraid to say it: fear of a label makes us all slaves as surely as the whip.

Sure hope the moderators aren't susceptible.

Earlier this month, a jury acquitted Lonny Rae of felony "hate crime" but found him liable of assault for having hurled the epithet.

Is that why they found him guilty, or was it for the threat of violence? It's hard to believe WorldNetDaily gives the straight scoop on anything.

The jury had to decide on which Oprah topic to convict, fan violence at kid's events or thought crimes. In any event, it wouldn't have reached court if the races were reversed.
