Kansas City’s Attorney, An Obama Supporter, Files Suit to Stop Negative Ads Against Obama

She says it’s caused her “terror of the heart” worrying about Obama safety due to the negative campaigning against him. Yeah, and I’m the Toothy Fairy. It’s just the latest lame attempt to silence criticism of The One. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Don’t expect this to stop under an Obama Administration.

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.

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.

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. 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,” 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.”

How are death threats against Obama (if they exist) any different than the death threats that the other candidates get? Much of the left has been consumed by Bush assassination chic for the past 8 years, yet now sees a problem. Pathetic.

    This is the kind of lawyer who should lose their right to practice law. I’d like to sue the toilet mfg. for irritating my rear end, just like this so called attorney.
