01) Criminal or Just Creepy?
I was doing a search for something else, when I came across an interesting and relevant news report from March of 2007…
It is a brief dissection of the Barack Obama, Lindsay Ashford fiasco…
Barack was running for U.S. president…and Lindsay committed the sin of being a pedosexual doing [very obvious, in my opinion] political satire. He predicted the winner, by how cute their daughters were…and his comments about these daughters, were mild compliments.
To their credit…most of these candidates ignored the whole thing…but not Barack Obama…
His lawyer sent a letter to Lindsay, threatening to sue him if he did not remove the comments, pictures and hyperlinks [to Obama’s website]…
A few very interesting quotes from this article follow…
“Attorneys who specialize in free speech say the campaign’s handling of the issues raises some questions about the candidate’s stance on civil rights.”
I recall this, from when it was happening…It made me think differently, of Barack Obama…I did not vote for him…In fact, I have never voted for Barack Obama.
I really felt…the threatening of a U.S. citizens legal speech, was a step way too far…and it really gave a stark, personal look at Barack…I did not like what I was seeing…Nobody who cares anything for free speech and open expression, should be okay with what happened in this case.
“Individuals can make comments about the candidates and the candidates’ children without running afoul of the law until someone crosses the line into actual or criminal activity,” said Lawrence G. Walters, a lawyer who has handled many cases involving pornography and the Internet. “For better or worse, pedophiles retain their free speech rights. If he’s a professed pedophile and if he says, ‘Let’s try to find these kids,’ then it could be in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy, then he may be liable.”
…Read it and weep, all you small minded bigots out there…
The first amendment experts say so…lawyers are saying so…and I’ve been asserting this for years, myself…
…Us pedosexuals out here [in the United States], who write/talk about social issues and even individual people, are not violating any laws in doing such. It bluntly falls under free speech law…despite that some fringe groups wish it were a crime, for certain minorities to have free speech protection.
A good thing to be aware of, if you are a pedosexual…If you are not conspiring to break any laws…then you are fully within your legal rights, to exercise your voice.
“If Obama knows that his lawyer is doing this, then that’s one reason not to vote for him,” [Jonathan] Katz said. “These are clear free speech issues”
I can only repeat what I wrote above…
…That Obama would attack the legal free speech of a U.S. citizen, is really damning of Obama.
“Several First Amendment lawyers said that it was doubtful that Bauer or the Obama campaign would prevail in court.”
Even the U.S. president [or a high ranking U.S. politician], cannot legally strip a U.S. citizen of their free speech…If this had gone to court, Barack was almost guaranteed to lose…
…Part of me almost wishes this case had seen the inside of a court room…So that we could have seen a pedosexual triumph over a high ranking U.S. politician…That would have been wonderful…Though, I suspect it would have dragged Lindsay through a lot of unpleasant things…So, maybe it’s best that it didn’t happen.
“The big concern I would have is that if in the abstract, you don’t allow free speech for these kinds of people, that’s something to really think about,” Walters said. “When we’re looking at the platform of the campaign, who else doesn’t get free speech rights? You have to think through the implications”
If a pedosexual is denied their free speech…how on earth do you justify not denying free speech to anybody [or everybody] else?
Any line you attempt to draw, is all subjective.
There is no validity, in claiming that people can have free speech, or not have free speech, based upon whether or not you like the ideas they express…
…I mean…Maybe, I don’t like the ideas you express [and some of you out there, express some very disturbing ideas]…Maybe, I don’t like encountering all the hate speech, and at times outright sick comments and threats aimed at pedosexuals…It’s strewn all over the internet, and in all manner of media…What gives me the right, to claim that people expressing these things deserve to have their right to free speech stripped of them?
Probably one of the more interesting things…is that there is a far more direct, obvious and sound argument to be made, that people who express hate speech and violent threats against pedosexuals do not deserve first amendment protection…and that they rightly should be prosecuted for their behavior…Because they actually are committing extreme antisocial behavior, by threatening the lives of others…not to ignore the other types of criminal behavior, these sorts sometimes get themselves caught up in…like stalking…blackmail…assault…vandalism…
…On the other hand…a pedosexual simply out here talking about stuff and trying to engage the world…There is no sane reason under the sun, why such a person’s first amendment rights should be threatened. They have every right to speak.
“In July 2005, his Web site devoted to missing children provoked outrage among parents of the children. Because the site is legal, they couldn’t take action.”
This last quote…
…Again, I recall this fiasco…as well as one or two others…and it was entirely concocted hyperbole…
It is kind of astonishing… when a pedosexual creates a tribute page to victims of any tragedy… or even a page, which helps spread word of a missing child…just to get attacked for having done so…
…Apparently, pedosexuals are not allowed to show concern or sorrow, for children, teens and others who have had a terrible fate.
They wanted to take action against Lindsay…because he did something which was entirely humane and legal…
This seems to be a trend, anymore…when some people get the idea that pedosexuals are “acting too human”…and, allegedly, there is something wrong about that.
I never knew Lindsay on a personal level… but he always seemed like a very kind, sweet individual…It was a true shame, when he ceased to be active.
