Tell A Friend

Based on my recent call from the capitol police, I want to make it clear that OpEdNews does not allow publication of any articles that advocate illegal activity or violence of any kind. We also do not permit any racist, racial, discriminatory or hateful statements.

Talking the truth about right wingers and Republicans is not racist, racial or hateful. But the rules against incitement to illegal or violent activity applies to them too.

Since it seems that it may be that Katherine Harris reads her media coverage, I'll spell my feelings out a little more clearly. If I could see her face to face, I'd say, "I hope you never have a good day's sleep for the rest of your life, that you worry about facing the consequences of the misdeeds you've perpetrated. I hope you spend your life worrying, looking over your shoulder, worrying that any legal letter coming to you, every phone call from an unknown caller is news that you are being indicted. I hope, that when you are walking in the dark, when you hear footsteps, your heart races and your palms sweat and you worry—it may be a team of police, coming to arrest you.” "

This article was read to the special agent. It was changed, with the original offensive working removed from this article too. The agent told me that it is capitol hill policy to notify the police of any sort of mention of violence, so it may or may not mean that Harris is actually aware of the original article.


Before publishing the original article, I asked two people to read it, wanting to make sure it was clear that I was not advocating, threatening or inciting violence. When both told me they thought it did not, I went ahead and published the original article.
