Dem Lawyer In Missouri Just Filed Suit Against McCain For Inciting Violence Against Obama
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 11:48 AM by kpete
Lawsuit says supporter fears for Obama’s life

KANSAS CITY | A Kansas City lawyer and supporter of Barack Obama for president has filed suit in federal court, alleging that the Republican ticket has incited violence against the Democratic nominee.

In her lawsuit against Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin and campaign manager Rick Davis, Mary Kay Green said she had been injured by their campaign tactics and suffered “terror of the heart, anxiety and grave fear” for Obama’s life.

Green said the GOP campaign had used hate speech to work its supporters into a frenzy, leading to death threats against Obama.

The lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday, has been assigned to a federal court mediation program for resolution.

1. If she asked, I think she'd find millions of Americans who would join her ...
... as co-Plaintiffs. No joke.

Perhaps MoveOn should consider just such a petition.
