KANSAS CITY - Missouri voter Mary Kay Green has had enough.

The supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama filed a lawsuit this week over what she claims is dangerous “hate speech” coming from the rival campaign of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Green, a 66-year-old grandmother and “semi-retired” civil rights attorney, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City this week accusing McCain, his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and their campaign manager Rick Davis of “intentionally, recklessly and irresponsibly” portraying Obama “as un-American, a terrorist by association, and ‘not like us,’ a non-white individual.”

Palin, Green alleges in her lawsuit, has at her rallies used false statements to work supporters “into a frenzy causing them to make death threats” against Obama.

99% of all lawyers give all the rest a bad name. This retired hack needs to go back to chasing ambulances. Get back on your meds at least.

Old Liberals never die, they just have Woodstock flashbacks and file frivoulous lawsuits.

...and when a real lawsuit like Ohio voter fraud get to the Supreme Court, they throw it away on a “technicality”...

I have entered “Oz”

First, she’s being put up for this.

Second, do the Moonbats REALLY want to start down this road that political speech is hate speech?

‘Cuz, we got some suit we could file, too.

Anybody can sue anybody at any time--if they can find a lawyer to file the case, that is.

Let them sue away---no skin off of our teeth!

Can we get a jury to rule before election day? The truth will out.

Interesting on the heels on the 9th circuits ruling that it is OK to outright LIE during a campaign....:/

This is going nowhere, it’s a stunt at best, double standard at worst.

portraying Obama “as un-American, a terrorist by association, and ‘not like us,’ a non-white individual.”

So which part of this is supposed to be untrue?

This gives me an idea! I’m going to talk to my lawyer about bringing a lawsuit against the Obamanoids and their Obamedia for calling me a racist only because I’m voting for McCain/Palin. Thanks Grandma!
