It WAS a hate crime..they released the names of one of the victims here, he was Jewish..they have photos of him from his facebook page attending his son’s Bar Mitzvah..I wonder if the Jihadist scum bag knew there were Jews at this meeting

Ben is making a great point about political correctness and proud folks just want to wave the messenger off as fast as possible.

If you won’t honor the truth, even if a hypothetical fool should speak it, you will get less of it.

EXcellent point. EXcellent.

What is so shameful is these knee jerk knee jabs at Ben. Pan Ben for whatever he has got wrong. But not this.

Ben isn’t making a point against political correctness. He is being politically correct!!!

“’Look at what happened again. Another hate crime in San Bernardino today,’ Carson said yesterday, according to ABC News. ‘That these 14 people killed. Less than a week ago, we had the shooting in Colorado...”

Maybe it is just my reading of it but it looks like typical lefty moral equivalency that you find on the pages of Salon. He is lumping a terrorist cell together with a deranged individual and saying they are the same: Hate crimes. They are not.

One case, Colorado, is sad and tragic. The guy is deranged.

The other case, San Bernardino, is part of an organized, methodical effort at exterminating the entire non-muslim world and is supported by foreign nations (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Qatar, Yemin, Libya...). The two are different. The only similarity is death.

A hate crime? The term “hate crime” is, itself, the most PC terminology ever concocted. If a white man kills a white man it is called murder. If a white man kills a black man it is called a hate crime. The reasons don’t matter. The PC application of terminology, in this case, hate crime, to further political ends is something invented by the left.

Ben has adopted their language.

Hey RedNeck.
They’ve got enough to execute these turds a dozen times, if they weren’t already dead. For example, wearing body armor in the commission of a felony is a felony itself in my state, prolly in CA too.
For all the good that `armor’ did `em, heh. Mebbe they shopped at the `Saul Goodman On-line Store for LEOs and Others Needing Sketchy Stuff’?

Why bring up this Orwellian, left wing, made-up stuff like “hate crimes” into it? “Bailiff, whack this hater’s pee pee. Stop the hatin’!” Judge Judy
(Man, I hate that expression ... )

How about we stand them up against a wall and shoot them again? A few more times. That’s something we can all prolly agree upon.

I agree. Islam hates the rest of the world, so......hate crime.

SDA cult member Carson misspoke. He meant to say the terrorist attack was a “hate climate change crime.”

Thought crime categorizations are a Progressive invention.
A man who hates political correctness should know this.

The U.S. flag might be next. After all, it flew on slave ships. This whole thing has gotten crazy, totally out of hand, part of mind control, and loss of our freedom of speech.

By Ben’s definition, what crime isn’t a hate crime?

By the left’s definition, it’s still a hate crime, based on religious prejudice.

The writer is a bit dim.

Not as dim as Carson appears to be.

Good night, Ben. With respect, you’ll be a great Secretary of HHS.

You are wise to suspect it is “just your reading of it.” People who are overly proud can miss subtleties.
