JUST SAW AN INTERESTING.....................

article where a county govt official posted on their official county social media page , red circle with a slash through it over a pic of a mosque and No Islam meme. Appears quite the sh it storm has erupted. Several news outlets and an Islamic group in DC has picked up on it.

Was just wondering what some of the consequences could be? Maybe some of the smarter posters like DJ ,DL, BWS and Club Dirt could shed some light on this.

Google her Twitter page....   all you need to know is right there.

Click baiting..........

Feel free to post slim.

We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

But not everyone believes in freedom of speech and freedom of religion and there have always been those who's life purpose has been to destory it and fuse church and state into one entity.

Thank you,,Darkhorse I will ... ,,,but you will never see me using Click bait....

Why call his thread click bait just to take a jab at events that you don't like?  How does that promote intelligent discussion? 

click baiting is a term used to describe a type of headlines that compel your visitors to click that entices a visitor to click to continue reading an article..

e.g .JUST SAW AN INTERESTING.....................

Interesting what ?      What's so interesting ?  I guess I'll  have to click on the Thread to find out ............click baiting..

You draw audience interest–you actually get clicks/views with nothing more than just a creative way of spinning what could be a mundane topic......

i would say it's not illegal because you generally need a specific threat directed at a specific person or group of people for something like that to be illegal. 

what can they do about it?  there probably is some way to have an elected official removed if the conduct is bad enough but that might involve a petition and a new election or the governor stepping in.  most likely neither will happen.

realistically, all you can do is expose this person for being a friggin moron and hope the idiots in the county that elected her vote her out.

also, for people who thought "religious freedom" was just about hating the gays, rest assured that it can also be about discriminating against muslims.

i think HJS and i are essentially saying the same thing.  she does havea  right to free speech, although i'm not sure she has a right to free speech using a county facebook account which means the government probably could take action by taking whatever steps they have to remove people in her position assuming there is some county rule or policy that she violated.  had she done it using a purely private account, i think it would be a free speech issue. 

Yes this is the issue.  It is not about her views against freedom of religion and her being against the first Ammendment and consistution.  She can be as unamerican and against the American way as she wants. 

Note: OP baited and set the stage for a poke, with the above post..in post #2

As one of the smarter posters I gave my opinion as did others.  Please drop these antics and games trying to derail the convo and make unecesary jabs at the OP.  I get it that you have been allowed to play these games to detract from threads and the forum and that the site a people in charge want it to be like this and for you to continue these antics and games but perhaps you will see that what you are doing is not making a positive contribution to the community and change your ways. 

 

Hugh, here is what the problem is. As a county commissioner she took an oath of office which includes upholding the constitution. She had two pages on fb 1 was personal the other was her official page as county commissioner. She chose to post her anti Islam rhetoric on her official page. So with her post she violated her oath. She can be impeached or the governor could just remove her. If it would have been posted on her personal page she would have been ok.
