A Kansas City lawyer and supporter of Barack Obama for president has filed suit in federal court, alleging that the Republican ticket has incited violence against the Democratic nominee.
The official "Truth Squad" was too busy to take her complaint, apparently.
In her suit against Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin and campaign manager Rick Davis, Mary Kay Green said she has been injured by their campaign tactics and suffers "terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear" for Obama's life.
I understand Päxil works wonders for things like this, Ms Green.
Green, an occasional contributor of letters to the editor for The Kansas City Star on legal and political issues, said the GOP campaign has used false hate speech to work their supporters into a frenzy, leading to death threats against Obama. In an interview, Green said she worked as a young woman in the presidential campaigns of both John and Robert Kennedy in Nebraska.
"High point of my life, dontcha know!"
Though she has asked for $6 million in damages, Green said the money is not important. The suit is a moral plea to the Republicans to temper their language, she said. "I will not tolerate another assassination," Scary Mary Green said. "I have an obligation as an attorney to speak out and use my voice to say to John McCain and Sarah Palin that you must stop this behavior. You are participating in these death threats and have lost all protection from the First Amendment. The suit Green filed Tuesday, has been assigned to a federal court mediation program for resolution.
"What's that you have there, Bob?"
"Another frivolous lawsuit."
"Cheeze. They never stop, do they?" |
