Submission + - DOJ warns against posts critical of Islam - may violate civil rights (judicialwatch.org)

Freddybear writes: "In its latest effort to protect followers of Islam in the U.S. the Obama Justice Department warns against using social media to spread information considered inflammatory against Muslims, threatening that it could constitute a violation of civil rights." ...
"The area’s top federal prosecutor, Bill Killian, will address a topic that most Americans are likely unfamiliar with, even those well versed on the Constitution; that federal civil rights laws can actually be violated by those who post inflammatory documents aimed at Muslims on social media. “This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian says in the local news story. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”"

Maybe somebody in Congress could ask Attorney General Holder which parts of the Constitution he is willing to uphold.

It gets better. The IRS commissioner who was in charge when the IRS was denying tax-exempt status to right-wing political groups is now in charge of implementing Obamacare requirements. Naw, there won't be any partisan shenanigans. How dare you even think that? You wouldn't want your dear old granny to be denied that hip operation now would you?
