Is it more wrong to kill a GLBT or African American or a woman than it is to kill a normal person or a white person or a man?

Isn't the whole "hate crime" thing kinda lopsided?

Yes, it is lopsided...and when they were enacted they needed to be lopsided to fix a lopsided problem. It is not silly, maybe just a little outdated at this point as the very real problem that they were designed to addressed has subsided significantly. Personally, I don't think any of it is silly and I think that calling it that trivializes the reason they were necessary in the first place.

I think that now we may be able to undo the hate crime designation....not because it is silly and always has been silly, but because the very real problem it was designed to fix does not exist anywhere near the same degree.

I think that it was an effort for the federal government to send a clear message, particularly in light of the fact that in some regions local government was sending the wrong message.

We're going to see more of this in the days ahead.

Having a pro homosexual president will not help matters.

Obama is seeking out Gay Bishop Robinson for advice and was against Prop 8 in CA.

He lied in the campaign about being against Gay Marriage

I hope all the Obama-ites are happy

"Hate Crimes"

Not silly.
Not outdated.

O'Reilly showed the video of this last night and interviewed one of the church members. The church is not pressing charges so nothing will be done to the protesters.
