Braking Hard: Around the Web in 80 Seconds [FR to be shut down by the Secret Service]
AirAmerica ^ | 3/3/2009 | By Beau Friedlander

Posted on 03/04/2009 3:54:57 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Freerepublic.com is going to get shut down by the Secret Service for threatening President Obama's life. If it doesn't happen because of a flimsy proviso in the post discussed here, then we live in a still more dangerous world.

During the Bush administration, were posters on DU/KOS/HUFF/etc.. allowed to end a comment without threatening Bush's life?

I always figured it was a "and peace be upon him" sort of thing with them.

I didn’t read anything there that was direct thtreat to Obama other than disagreeing with his policy.

I did not see a threat to his well being.

Did I miss something?

Of course this would not be considered censorship!

Nah, But closing down the Democratic Underground during the Bush administration for the exact same thing would have been considered censorship to the highest degree.

No, I don't see any duplicity here.

Nope, this is change you can believe in.

Scandalum magnatum

At one time, the honour of peers was especially protected by the law; while defamation of a commoner was known as libel or slander, the defamation of a peer (or of a Great Officer of State) was called scandalum magnatum. The Statute of Westminster of 1275 provided that “from henceforth none be so hardy to tell or publish any false News or Tales, whereby discord, or occasion of discord or slander may grow between the King and his People, or the Great Men of the Realm.”[18] Scandalum magnatum was punishable under the aforesaid statute as well as under further laws passed during the reign of Richard II.[19] Scandalum magnatum was both a tort and a criminal offence. The prohibition on scandalum magnatum was first enforced by the King’s Council. During the reign of Henry VII, the Star Chamber, a court formerly reserved for trial of serious offences such as rioting, assumed jurisdiction over scandalum magnatum, as well as libel and slander, cases. The court, which sat without a jury and in secret, was often used as a political weapon and a device of royal tyranny, leading to its abolition in 1641; its functions in respect of defamation cases passed to the common law courts. Already, however, the number of cases had dwindled as the laws of libel, slander and contempt of court developed in its place. By the end of the eighteenth century, scandalum magnatum was obsolete. The prohibition on it was finally repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1887.[20]

Man, how desperate are these people? They own the white house, congress, the MSM, our schools, etc and still cannot have any other voice?

I thought their message was so sound that nothing can stand against it?

I don't know if I'd take the Kossacks very seriously. The stuff you see there and on DU is pretty bad.

I've been saying for a while that Messiah Derangement Syndrome won't do us any good and would make us look as foolish as BDS made the libs look. I wish folks would think about that when posting.

They have no justification. If they shut you down, it must be temporary. Does anyone have an alternative way to keep up on the situation if they do such a thing, God forbid?

I feel certain that someone in Obama’s administration is trying to find some excuse to shut you down, just as they are working on a way to stop Rush Limbaugh.

They don’t like dissenting voices. “Liberal” is certainly a misnomer.

Jim, have you recieved any notice from the SS to shut down?

We all know that it is going to come to this, don’t we? This site will be shut down within a year. Is there any one here that didn’t think that to be the case? I mean really?

That is what they are doing now with Rush

I just looked at the KOS link and the commentary and the “excepts” they posted from “FR”.

If that was the worst we say,then we are miles above the DU in tastes and restraint.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberal...

As usual from Daily KOS, pure bull.

I did not recognize a single example posted on the site.

Fully expected to see my screen name on one.

Do you remember the looney-toons posts on KOS during the Bush administration. No one went ballistic over them then.

They are simply NUTS!

Hate filled NUTS.

There is no president. The guy in the oval office is a usurper. He has not proven that he’s eligible. The Secret Service is protecting a fake. They dropped the ball when the threats against President Bush were thrown around by the lefty bloggers.

Also, Stabenow’s husband Tom Athans admitted to police that he used the Internet to find a prostitute and pay for the services. Athans told told police he stopped at the hotel to see a female prostitute he met online. After calling her on the phone, he was given a room number and met the woman at the door. Once he was inside he placed $150 on a table. The woman took the money and performed oral sex on him, Athans told the police.

Freedom of speech is only to be exercised for approved topics, and every imagined bad thing that Bush did, in the minds of liberals, are intended to actually be done to conservatives.

I would’ve posted this startling news about Hannity, Rush & FR too, but I’m having a bit of a problem figuring out what it means:

BRAKING HARDLY:

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

SEAN HANNITY PLEADS GUILTY (ALL CHARGES LIKE RUSH) SIMULTANEOUSLY AS RUSH LIMBAUGH: FOLLOWS CODE OF THE BUSHIDO AND COMMITS HARI-KARI ON AIR (MAR 3,

Tuesday, March 03, 2009 Sean Hannity pleads guilty, incontestable and does not challenge the charges against him any further; says “he had substantive charges” and also why the federal authorities will find his finances out of order “rich people always find a way to stash their fortune?” Or it could be a paper trail of corruption and influence or some criminal organization. Could also be Client 23 and various reasons why he knew Rush was in trouble and he had to send reconnaissance and reinforcements to control the damage thinking Ann Coulter was with the plotters. Rush when asked said he did not know and cannot implicate her of any charges. Rush already fingered Sean and Sean had confessed in the 4th and 5th month of questions; what he knew and when.

SO SEAN, WHO IS FUNDING FREE REPUBLIC? IS IT THE MAFIA, DRUGS, AND GUN RUNNING? SOME RENEGADE BAND OF REVOLUTIONARIES OR COMMUNISTS IF YOU, RUSH, AND FREE REPUBLIC ARE ALL ENTANGLED? MICKEY KAUS IS THE PRIMARY VOICE ON THE ANN SITE ON FREEP AND I HAVE READ THE COMMENTS ON YOURS (PREVIEWS TO SHOWS).
