再转一段华人的一个帖子。
我的英语教授就Jimmy Kimmel事情的看法，以及采取相应举措的建议。
他的课是我在大学里面上的最有用的一堂课，虽然我是学business的。我写的那些文章到现在还留着，以后也不会丢掉。因为他的课，我对国际关系，世界政治格局，中东各国，中国以及邻国的关系，疆独藏独，以及中美关系，有了一个全新的了解。他应该说是一个人权斗士，与拉美社区，爱尔兰社区，穆斯林社区都有很多联系。 Jimmy Kimmel事件后，我马上写信给他，问他的看法。他给出了几项建议，得到他的允许，我列出来，请大家参考。
1， 联系 Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi is the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives and served as the 60th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011。
2， 联系John Andrew Boehner is the 61st and current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he is the U.S. Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district, serving since 1991.
请他们公开谴责这种言论。
他说：Where Kimmel will be hurt most is his source of money. 建议分别是：
1， 赞助他节目的人，一律联系到。请他们对Kimmel错误做法表态。如有必要，可以考虑抵制这些赞助商。
2， 联系Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. is the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, 他是专门起诉“hate crime”的， in office since 2009. Holder, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, is the first African American to hold the position of U.S. Attorney General. 方式是联名上书。我在想我们是否可以用我们白宫的petition。
附上email。
I am disturbed by what you relate to me, profoundly disturbed. The fact that he would egg children on and that he would find any comments about killing anybody a joke is appalling. What troubles me is that many people are inured to this kind of talk as entertainment -- until someone acts on it, then it is a spectacle and becomes round the clock news, and that also turns into prurience and entertainment.
I support a petition that we should send to Nancy Pelosi and to John Boehner to sanction talk such as Kimmels. Where Kimmel will be hurt most is his source of money. So whoever sponsors during his show should be contacted to comment on how wrong what he said and did is, and then a threat of boycotting their products should be issued if they don't respond or handle the matter with a lightness that sometimes companies and corporations do.
Eric Holder, the Attorney General, who is going after hate crimes, prosecuted by the Justice Department, and well-enforced by the F.B.I., should get a letter signed from representative members of the Asian community, and from the non-Asian communite, allies, demonstrating that we know and believe that what Kimmel did is criminal: it is hate speech, and that it cannot go unsanctioned.
The United States found Anwar Al Awlaki's preaching hatred enough to track and send a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to take him out, and they were justified in doing so because his hate speech translated to action, inspired action to kill others. Mr. Kimmel's actions and encouragement, and making of a serious matter into a 'joke', is not justifying the same, but it does mean that in our democracy and in doing what is right we must hold him accountable and make note that such statements are unacceptable. Freedom of speech does not include the incitement that stokes the desire to kill others.
