Didn't take long before the Fascists decided that the key to eliminating mass murder by madmen was banning speech that they don't like. And they mocked us for wanting to read the Constitution before we pass laws. Hat Tip Jim Geraghty
What do you do when a man strangely and dangerously obsessed with the notion that somehow the government is controlling the public's minds through, er, grammar, tries to kill a congresswoman and slaughters a slew of innocent men, women, and a child in the process?
Try to ban what people can say! Broadcasting and Cable summarizes: "There is a new kind of Brady bill in the works on Capitol Hill, but rather than restricting gun use, this would restrict the use of gun-related images or speech about a member of Congress or other federal official. Rep. Bob Brady (D-Pa.) says he is working on a bill to make it a federal crime to use 'language or symbols' that could be interpreted as inciting violence against a member of Congress, he told CNN in an interview. Brady's bill comes following the Arizona shootings and criticisms of Sarah Palin using a crosshairs symbol to target Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' district back in March after Giffords, who was seriously wounded in the shooting and the apparent target, voted for the Obama healthcare bill. 'You can't put bulls eyes or crosshairs on a United States congressman or a federal official,' Brady told CNN."
