As long as he proves himself to be gay or just because the perp thinks he is?
The “Hate Crime Bill” is nothing more then a thinly veiled attack on our First Amendment freedom of speech guarantee. The fact that the fat marxist Ted Kennedy is one of the supporters of this bill should say it all !!!
Vote on it, he sponsers it!
H.R. 1592 Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007
Dear senator Coleman
I urge you to oppose this bill even though President bush has stated he will veto it. How can you criminalize thought? This bill would open up the floodgates of abuse of the law. It is a bad idea. We all have equal protection under the law, if we make it more equal for some and not others then it would not be equal?
Each and every criminal act mentioned in this legislation is already illegal and covered by existing law. This sounds like real dangerous “feel good” busy work to me.
Legislation like this should be laughed off the senate floor.
There, now back to work.
This is UNIMPORTANT legislation. It’s actually garbage. It’s just intended to pander to homosexuals. They don’t need any special rights or protections. Almost all crime is hate crime and there’s no reason to give one crime distinction over another - at least not like this.
Senators, please kill this nonsense. This is Ted Kennedy trash.
the perception of the perpetrator counts.
"For God's sake Herbert - don't slap him back..."
There is already an uproar, and rightfully so against the Homosexual tolerance education of our youth in our public schools. The “tolerance” is actually education of our children to recognize and accept deviant behaviour.
The word “Prevention” (Prevention being “education”) in the title of this bill squelches the ability to protest such teachings, and makes such teachings legal and enforceable by Federal law enforcement agencies.
This bill must be prevented from passing.
Did I read somewhere that the fairness doctrine bill would be attached to this hate crimes bill?
“Whatever happened to the concept of “Equal protection under the law”?”
That clause means whatever liberals want it to mean.
Anyone have the role call.?..just want to see if any dumb repubs voted yes on this.
coming back to this later to read as well, bump.
