show me a love crime..

Art theft. Some people steal great paintings for their own enjoyment and never try to sell them. But I know what you mean. The only kind of homicide that could be remotely considered a "love crime" would be a mercy killing. All other killings involve hate to some degree. Holder's a disaster, but we knew he would be.

Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that recent killings show the need for a tougher U.S. hate crimes law to stop "violence masquerading as political activism."
He refers to the murder of US soldiers on US soil, I'm sure. /sarc

“It only benefits certain designated classes of people, such as non-productive slugs, minorities, illegal aliens, etc., who can’t and WON’T pay their own way,.....”

Why didn’t you just write “D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S”?

I forgot to include felons, tax cheats, "single mothers", sex deviates, and other low-life that would have covered more of their voterbase.

Here we go. The last of our Constitutional rights - Free Speech - sacrificed to the Obamessiah.
______________
Why not? Like you said, here we go, meaning that people will accept it and they will. Look at Iranians protesting............MILLIONS of them. We can barely get 10K for a tea party. We are doomed if we don’t become more active. Turn off American Idol people, it doesn’t matter.

"violence masquerading as political activism."

Translation from lib doublespeak: "conservative commentary masquerading as conservative commentary"

Does that include black muzzie murdering thugs killing military recruiters or just some person killing murdering abortion doctors?

Ill splain it. If a white kills anyone other than a white its a hate crime because all whites are racists but on the other hand if a minority kills a white person it’s justa crime of oppression and is justified.All this has been brought to you by voting for the lesser of two evils!

Yeah, we’ll have to learn how to talk in code like all the others in closed countries.

What will be hilarious to watch is when the most lawless 12% go running to the authorities to protect them after the broader population finally becomes sick of their crap.

Single mothers is pretty inclusive. I have never been called a low-life before, but I guess if the shoe fits.

“We can barely get 10K for a tea party.”

I believe the problem is one of tech and organization. The right boasted about the spontaneous nature of the tea parties. Well that does not work.

We need the same email, text, Twitter power the left has.

For instance after the Netanyahu speech I checked out JStreet, the left wing American Jewish lobby that claims to support Israel. They immediately had a form up to send a protest to your Congress critter.

They have forms on their site that send messages to Congress, Obama, etc on lots of issues.

Here is the latest issue they claim credit for:

“When Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD-4) came under attack from the right-wing for her pro-Israel, pro-peace views on Israel and the Middle East, JStreetPAC members pitched in to defend her “

During the campaign I signed up for the Obama Campaign to keep tabs. I still get emails for money and issues.

Conservatives used to be better organized (thank you Karl Rove) but the story of this election was the superior organization of the left.

I think it ("single mother) needs to be separated from the multi-generational welfare queens who have NEVER had a spouse, whereas, it's impossible biologically to be a mother without male intervention.

Those who are widowed or divorced are lumped, unfortunately, into the same group as the never-married women who have babies as a method of income-production (more welfare, food stamps, etc.).
