“I think hate crime laws are wrong. Attempted murder is attempted murder. Why should I care about the idiot’s 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.

What is a shame is that this act is one more thing that may push Sarah into not wanting to run for national office again. She is tough and a fighter, but I just don’t know if she’d want to put her family though this again.

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.

but the MSM needs to accept some responsibility in all this

Maybe when people start burning THEIR churches... Oh, that won't work. They don't HAVE churches.

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.

If this is not a hate crime, then John McCain is the most charismatic speaker alive.

Haven't heard yet whether this is a "hate crime."

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.

Accelerant? That's attempted murder, felony arson, double digit prison terms for each count. They're going to get more time than OJ.

The Left and the MSM talk of the right as haters.

This fire demonstrates what the sad reality really is.

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?

"It’s a little too soon to be placing blame and motive. The investigation is ongoing"

CRIPES!! No it's not.

Before the facts are known the default narrative is to blame the Left. After facts are known, even if they exonerate the Left, the default narrative is to blame the Left.
