NEW YORK (AP) -- Online games that allow children to "shoot"
illegal immigrants, Jews and blacks are among the thousands of
extremist Web sites described in a report by an international
human rights organization.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which has been tracking hate Web
sites for nine years, describes in the report released Monday
more than 200 of about 4,000 online hate sites it monitors.
The group said it has seen a surge this year in the number of
sites that promote terrorist recruitment, urging young people to
join "holy wars" and become suicide bombers.
The report includes sites that deny the Holocaust, theorize
September 11 conspiracies and glorify al Qaeda. The more common
hate sites feature racism, anti-Semitism and gay bashing.
"People need to realize how much hatred there is ... and the
extraordinary technological advance of people who are spreading
these lies," said New York City Council Speaker Gifford Miller,
who attended the news conference where the report was released.
Some of the most troubling, he said, are sites that appear to be
educational, like a Web site on black civil rights leader Martin
Luther King Jr. that is actually run by a racist organization.
Such sites could fool schoolchildren doing research, Miller said.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center uses the report to help inform
parents, teachers, public officials and law enforcement.
The intent is not to interfere with free speech and shut down the
sites, said Mark Weitzman, director of the center's Task Force
Against Hate. "This is for public awareness," he said.
. . . . .
I guess the interference thing would come right AFTER
someone like Kerry got elected ... can't have any
"wrong messages" out there in a free country, now
can we ?
Cases like these are what the bill-o-rights is really
FOR. Easy to grant slack when the 'message' is friendly
and 'PC' ... but what when it ISN'T ? The controversial
'messages' and ideas are what the constitution exists
to protect. Well, except if your name is Howard Stern
or Rush Limbaugh ...
Meanwhile, the Democrat Party is running ads calling for Republican
politicians to be shot.
The Democrat Party is corrupt, through and through.

Heh, heh ... reminds me of the "accidental" ad
last election that read "DemocRATS" ....
The Democrat Party is corrupt, through and through.
POLITICS is corrupt through and through. Can't
be helped. Power naturally accumulates and those
WITH the power are only human after all ...
Fix corruption today and it will be back, in some
new form, tomorrow. New boss = old boss. Same story
since they learned to scribble stuff down on clay
tablets. At best we can kind-of *control* the
amount and scope of corruption, make it "livable".
If one politicians can score brownie points by
revealing the corruption of his colleague, well,
his colleague could do the same. Encourages a level
of "discretion".
