Bless his heart! I was hoping to hear, in all the rhetoric, an actual attempt to push back on this nonsense! Are you going?
Also, we need to come to the defense of the Freedom of Speech. The idea of a Hate Crime to me is an abomination to the very core of the Constitution I swore an oath to numerous times. When a crime is committed, especially a violent crime, what difference should the motivation of the perpetrator be? It is the violent act itself that is criminal, no? One can think whatever one wants to, just keep your hands to yourself.
That a United States District Attorney, of all people, would advocate prosecution of people exercising their RIGHT of Freedom of Speech is abhorrent! We have to legally tolerate the Westboro Baptist Church protesting, in the most ugly ways, in person, their right of Freedom of Speech and this petty tyrant wants to use the LAW to go after posters on web sites!!??? We cannot allow these bureaucrats and Leftist legalistic lawyers to erode our Constitution with this kind of nonsense!
Wish I could go, but I own a small business that requires my being there when the doors are open. I am talking up attendence as much as possible so that we can get as many there as possible. I would suggest people ask questions about islamists and their intolerance of anything that is not muslim, aka "the rest of us."
