Free speech under attack in "progressive" California

Must not say anything bad about illegals
"While the state continues to flounder in an economic quagmire, unemployment creeps deeper into double digits and residents continue to pay some of the highest taxes in the country; Sacramento lawmakers think it’s time to move on to shutting up the voters in a clear attack on freedom of speech.

The mentality of the overwhelming Democratic elitists in Sacramento should be ashamed of themselves. The state Senate passed along party line SCR 58 a resolution that would hinder free speech, in particular, my free speech. Under the guise of ‘hate speech’ this resolution would implement new government tactics to draw up guide lines as to what journalists, talk radio, media and Internet content is deemed appropriate.

The resolution states, “Hate speech has been defined as speech which threatens imminent unlawful action,” this seems amiable enough, however the resolution doesn’t stop there; “but also, as speech which creates a climate of hate and prejudice, which in turn MAY foster the commission of hate crimes.”

Here in lies the problem. What will be deemed hate speech and who will decide whether a word is taken out of context or not? ...

SCR 58 was the brainchild of Gil Cedillo-D. The one page resolution targets negative speech in regard to Latinos who remain undocumented in California. Rather than leave this Constitutional Amendment to the Supreme Court, Cedillo undermines Californians to further his withering political clout.

On all precedents, SCOTUS would knock this one over but it could be very expensive for anyone targeted so lots of plea deals could be expected before it got to court.

I've seen liberalism described as a mental disorder, and Mexifornia is the living proof. Here is a state on the brink of bankruptcy, yet because of it's fuzzy-brained addiction to Leftism, it actually defends illegals, one of the main causes of it's financial failure. DUH!

Personally, i would vote to give the entire state to Mexico, but only if it's goofy, totally out of touch residents go with it.

"but also, as speech which creates a climate of hate and prejudice, which in turn MAY foster the commission of hate crimes.”

---Does that mean La Raza, The Nation of Islam, Code Pink, Michael Moore, and other leftists that do that will have to shut up now? Oh wait, this is California that means "hate" can only come from the right.

Isn't it amazing, the democrats have control of the entire US government, both the houses of legislature in California but they still can't win a debate on facts so they have to try to shut up the opposition.

Anon 2:58, by disagreeing with known facts, you prove my point.

Liberal = mindless dupe.

Hello, Anon 1:23,

I made the post to prove a point. When a liberal says ANYTHING, even something innocuous, they WILL be attacked and called names.

Now that's a fact.

They should be thankful they're not called the names they've earned.
