“I think hate crime laws are wrong. Attempted murder is attempted murder. Why should I care about the idiots motivation.”
Agreed. A crime is a crime. Calling it an act of hate makes the legislators feel like they’re doing something important I think. Is there such a thing as a non-hate crime? It’s absurd.
This is one more reason we need to support Governor Palin and her Pastor during this ordeal. She needs to know that she has friends out here, as well as enemies.
Maybe when people start burning THEIR churches... Oh, that won't work. They don't HAVE churches.
Might of been PETA types
That response makes no sense. You know damn well that if this was Wright’s church in Chicago, the MSM would automatically be calling it a “hate crime”. Some of them are still referring to this arson as a “suspicious fire”.
The fact that the very term “hate crime” is nonsense doesn’t mean the the left doesn’t use it on a daily basis. Your smart remark only hurts your own case.
I think it will be the same caliber of person who hacked into Sarah’s email accounts.
Whatever happened to that TN college moonbat anyway?................
If this is not a hate crime, then John McCain is the most charismatic speaker alive.
Yeah, don't get me started on that. Isn't "hate" kinda implicit in "crime"?! I will never understand the Legal Weenies who invented the "hate crime" concept. May they stew in their own juice, the victim of a "love arson", every d*** one of them!
So, do you think it is proper when the Lefties bellow about “hate crimes”, instead of just applying the existing laws against assault, arson and attempted murder?
If you support this, then you are consistent in insisting that the same standard be used in this case. If you do not, why would you insist on using the same standard here?
This is what I’m thinking. The animal rights wackos hate Sarah Palin and were more vitriolic in their condemnation of her than even the DU types. They didn’t like her policies on shooting wolves.
They’re so dumb...let the wolves live,so they can eat Sarah’s children! This was their line of thought.
They are the ones who use arson as their tool.
With Bill Ayeresand his wife Bernie, it would have been a bomb.
We live in a Marxist/Racist country. Where oh where are the E’fing Liberals with a hate crime report?
Never mind!
Could it have been these people:
The Left and the MSM talk of the right as haters.
This fire demonstrates what the sad reality really is.
There were people inside the church at the time the fire was started!
Expect a lot of hate crimes against conservatives, including the burning of conservative churches. Obama will inspire leftist hatred, and elevate it to levels that Bush couldn’t manage.
Didn’t someone burn down a bunch of churches in the south not too long ago?
