In reaction to the Kansas shootings this week, two Democrats are pushing for legislation to come up with a government report looking at the perpetuation of hate speech in the media. The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014 would update an old report on the role of the internet, radio, and television in “encouraging hate crimes based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.”
Senator Ed Markey argues the purpose of the bill is to make sure anyone using any of those outlets is not encouraging hate speech “outside the protection of the First Amendment.” The bill has gotten a mixed reception, with liberal radio host Alan Colmes speaking out against it, and now Glenn Beck has jumped into the fray.
Beck, who was very outspoken against an FCC proposal to look into American newsrooms, decried the bill as Nazi-style tactics. He said, “Forget about the Fairness Doctrine, this is Nazi stuff.”
He showed off an old German SS-approved radio that cut off access to certain radio stations, saying “we’ve been down this road before.”
