Thirteen House Democrats have proposed legislation that would require the government to study hate speech on the Internet, mobile phones and television and radio.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and 12 other House Democrats, would look at how those media are used to “advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”

#1 you mean it’s illegal to pay for a person of the opposite gender so you can raise a child in your same-sex boudoir? That’s racist!
Whenever I see a guy like the newscaster working for al·Jazz, I see a eunuch.
#3 The Democrats will do anything to stop their opponents from getting their message out, they remember their glory days when they had a monopoly on the spreading of news and want to recreate that climate. They realize that most people are conservative and want us to be unable to communicate and organize.
What’s the correct term for the tractor-type vehicle carrying the ISIL into town?
RUSSIA – Dagestan -Seven militants killed in southern Russia: Official
Russian forces killed seven militants including an alleged would-be suicide bomber during a sweep in southern Russian three weeks before the Sochi Winter Olympics, officials said on Saturday.
The National Anti-Terrorist Committee said the militants killed in the majority-Muslim North Caucasus region of Dagestan were possibly linked to an attack on a local restaurant in which 16 people were injured Friday evening.
“Seven militants were killed,” a spokesman for the anti-terrorist committee told AFP, noting that a senior local militant and a young woman who was allegedly trained to become a suicide bomber were among the dead.
The Saturday sweep was conducted in the main Dagestani city of Makhachkala where a car bomb went off near a restaurant Friday evening.
