Scary, thought crimes are next.

[CindyDawg]

Looks like it might really be a hate crime. Hate , towards Christians.

Where's the ACLU? The commies are bringing on the fight. Let's get ready to rumble!

[ex-Texan]

Thought crimes are illegal. Don't you know that yet?

[Oreo Kookey]

This is a job for the ACLJ's Jay Sekulow.

There seems to be a "conflict of interest" in regards to freedom of speech these days.
Thank God I dont live in Philly.

Oh. My. Goodness. Sign me up.

Charles Ehrlich, attacked the defendants as "hateful" and referred to preaching the Bible as "fighting words," a characterization, the law group says, with which Judge Meehan agreed.

It sounds like possessing a bible is a hate crime in this court.

Absolutely incredible!!! Not Denmark, not Canada, not Sweden, not France, not Belgium or some other "enlighteded" hellhole, but right here in the US of A.

The RED STATE people need to really get on the stick and keep rolling back this moral rot from the Blue State people.

The ethnic intimidation charge stems from Pennsylvania*s "hate crimes" law – to which the newest "victim" category of "sexual orientation" was recently added.

Just to clarify my thinking...Am I to understand that homosexuality is now an ethnicity in Pennsylvania? When did they slip that "little" piece of legislation past the general public?

[Mount Athos]

If you are hinting at violence you are in the wrong forum

When did they slip that "little" piece of legislation past the general public?

These and other "thought-crime" laws have been sold to "law and order" conservatives in PA for a long time, who never bother to read the fine print. This amendment clearly violates the state constitution, much as our gun control laws do; but that doesn't stop these power hungry mutts. The amendment was signed into law on December 3, 2002, by then Governor Mark Schweiker, A REPUBLICAN.

thanks to bill and hillalry.... the defenders of the 2% .this is how they divide our country and build up hate.chip...chip... chip... away with each little law suit and confrontation they gain another notch up the power ladder. I guess it is going to be left up to FREEPERS and us BLOGGERS to get out of our pajamas and demonstrate against any and all affronts to our culture....

I was just wondering, do people who testify in this court swear an oath on the bible?

It would be nice to see someone besides the AFA upset about this. I knew Donald Wildmon and friends when I was a seminary student in Jackson MS about 20 years ago.
He is a nice person and an orthodox guy, but the group is always hysterical.
My biggest problem is that they adopt the tactics of all the fundraising advocacy groups (from right or left). It is always some terrifying monstrosity, a terrifying sweeping freedom assaulting nightmare that they are battling, and Christendom is doomed if we don't pony up some more money to help little David against the Goliath of this world.

I eventually got bored with them.

Anyway, does anone have a hard link to the video? I looked on the site today and yesterday, and can't find it.

It sounds like the prophecy in the Bible which talks about Christians being prosecuted is becoming a reality.
