>>Having lost that battle, liberals began round two: Operation Hate Crimes. This bill, passed by the House and pending in the Senate, makes “bias” or “hate” a federal crime. However, anyone who “induces” a federal crime (here, a “hate crime”) can also be charged under federal law. Thus, if a parishioner who listened to his pastor’s sermon on the biblical view of homosexuality later assaulted a homosexual, the parishioner could be charged with a federal “hate crime,” and his pastor could be charged federally for “inducing a hate crime.”<<
We looked up that bill and it turns out Federal Hate crimes require violence.
