I would say it was no accident that all those churches just happened to be Baptist. The claim that it was a "joke" sounds so absurd as to make me wonder about their IQs unless they merely want to make sure they won't get the extra "hate" crime charge.

Maybe the Feds could change the label to "humor crime"...

Well, you'd actually have a hard time finding a rural church in Alabama that didn't have Baptist as part of its name. In town, you can find others, but if it's out in the country, it's almost certainly some form of Baptist church.
