Incoming Tenn. Rep. calls residents 'racist' GOP voters 'uneducated'

Caught!

A newly-elected black racist and Tennessee state lawmaker, London Lamar, is saying she's sorry after she got caught on a video that recently surfaced. The Democrat called her state "racist" and said that most of the state's residents who voted not for her party, but "voted Republican are uneducated," thus equating education with intelligence, which is an unintelligent thing to do.

Lamar is to take office in January after running uncontested in the state's House District 91 in the Memphis area. She made those racist comments last week in a Facebook Live video which was posted the morning after the midterm elections.

"Let's just call a spade a spade," she said, using a term that was once as bad as the "n" word. "Tennessee is racist. Period," she said, trying to sound like her hero, Barack Hussein Obama who made an art out of racial division in America.

The video has been saved on several news websites after she removed it from Facebook.

She said, "Most of the Tennesseans who voted Republican are uneducated. So, they don't even know that they showed up to the polls to vote against their own interests. They literally voted on color lines."

On Monday, addressing the FB video post, Lamar described what she said as a "statistical analysis of the midterm elections based on my numerous years of political experience."

Luckily, as a Republican with a PhD, I was able to understand her words, although I don't believe her. Especially when she also went after President Trump, the default position for liberals without a clear agenda on policy.

Lamar hides her racism behind data analysis.

Blackburn wins in Tenn. Senate race: beats Tayolor Swift's candidate

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) beat the daylights out of Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen in a closely watched Senate race Tuesday, in spite of yet another star entertainer having no effect on the outcome as people still vote their own mind. The GOP now has a generous majority while losing control of the House.

This race made headlines in the entertainment world last month after incredibly famous and talented pretty little Miss Taylor Swift went out to motivate young Tennessee voters to tip the results in favor of the Democrats because famous entertainers are only allowed to vote for that party or be blackballed from the industry because Democrats are just so gosh darn tolerant.

So the "Taylor Swift effect" was as effective for the Democrats as a bandaid is to stem the bleeding of a sucking chest wound.

As I write this, fully 99 percent of the precincts have reported. Blackburn captured 55 percent of the vote while Bredesen got merely 43 percent.

Blackburn had trailed Bredesen in the polls throughout the entire summer, but slowly closed the gap and eventually took the lead last month after aligning herself with President Trump. She will replace Bob Corker and become the first female U.S. senator from the great state of Tennessee.

This race received a lot of outside money as Democrats thought there would be a path to retaking the Senate majority, which they did not. Had Bredesen won, he would have been the first Democrat elected to the senate from his state since the inventor of the internet and expert on global warming, Al Gore, won in 1990.

Free Speech: "Uncle ISIS Wants You"

Rep. Martin Daniel (R-Knoxville) sponsored the "Tennessee Student Free Speech Protection Act" and was asked by Rep. John DeBerry Jr. (D-Memphis) whether he would support the right of ISIS to recruit on campus.

What Daniel said in answer to that question gave credence to the notion that the "R" in "R-Knoxville" stands for something other than "Republican." It would be politically incorrect for me to say what I believe it represents.

"Yes," (the mentally challenged) Daniels replied. "So long as it doesn't disrupt the proceedings on that campus. Yes sir. They can recruit people for any other organization or any other cause. I think it's just part of being exposed to differing viewpoints."

When taking an unwavering, suicidal stand based upon a principal that would eventually destroy your right to invoke that principal, you are either an idiot or a jihadist, or both.

Daniel's bill was intended to challenge free speech restrictions being enforced on campuses across America. Its intentions were good--they are meant to uphold our First Amendment rights, I get that.

But with our rights must come exceptions that make sense.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of "Incitement" and held that "advocacy of the use of force" is not protected when "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and is "likely to produce such action." 

In Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), the Supreme Court held that speech is unprotected if it constitutes "fighting words." That is, speech that "tend[s] to incite an immediate breach of the peace" by provoking violence. 

Threats of violence directed at an individual or group (such as Jewish students, in this case) would be unprotected. An exception would be if the threats are seen as hyperbole, but based on the history of ISIS, a threat of violence would not constitute hyperbole--it's how they roll.

So Rep. Daniel's bill, for all its good intentions, does not legally protect the speech of an organization such as ISIS. 

And Rep. Daniel is most likely an idiot.
