Attorney General Eric Holder said hate crimes are an affront to what the United States stands for in comments at a memorial service Thursday for three people killed in a shooting at a Jewish community center in Kansas.
“Every alleged hate crime, no matter the intended target, is an affront to who we are – and who we have always been – both as a country and as a people,”
It has to be Holder’s eating mouth talking, because his rectal orifice has far more native good sense.
“Hate crime” is something of a conundrum, because what difference does a person’s personal opinions have on the physical mischief visited upon another? Is the victim of a mugging, left dying on the street, more “hated” because he was, perhaps, of a different ethnic or cultural background than the perpetrator? Why are certain classes of perpetrators excused from being charged with a “hate crime” while the “unprotected” classes of perpetrators have the additional charge placed upon them?
ALL crimes committed against the person of another are by their definition “hate crimes”, the punishment should remain the same whether an element of “hatred” is determined or not.
Sorry, Eric. You have no cred. You serve at the whim of a lawless administration.
I especially feel for the parents of that boy. He sounds like a wonderful young man - the kind of son any parent would be proud of.
Bump. I was just gonna say that.
It’s only a hate crime if the perp is white.
The concept that the government can define a Hate Crime to divide and categorize people is an affront to who we should be.
“If you kill people, but don’t hate them, its all OK. In fact, if you love them, killing is a wonderful thing.”
Isn’t that how they justify abortion to themselves? Killing their kids so they don’t have to suffer through life? Abortion is an act of love for them, just like illegal immigration.
As far as Holder goes:
“Every alleged hate crime, no matter the intended target, is an affront to who we are – and who we have always been – both as a country and as a people,”
I, for one, consider the very idea of a hate crime to be an affront to to who we are as a country.
Isn’t the IRS targeting conservatives a fiasco? The perp is white.
Post of the day. Cigar, kewpie doll, and 15 gallons of gas.
I meant... Isn’t the IRS fiasco targeting conservatives a hate crime? The perp is white.
Holder is the first AG to have squandered all legitimacy and any hope for it. Disgusting man all around.
Interesting, esp since all the victims of The Knockout Game have been white, and many Jewish
It’s an “affront” to even have that SOB there
Holder is a walking hate crime.
Liberals hate babies.
Well expressed JR!!!
