While it makes for a good show and highlights the stupidity of the Left, it’s counter-productive.

Rather than adding more protected classes until only white middle-aged billionaires are the “unequal” equals, why don’t we just make everyone equal under the law and be done with it?

Oh, wait, we did that back in the late 1860s… We just forgot.

is racial in nature, rather than sex/gender/orientation – based, i.e. in terms of shear numbers.

But since most inter-racial crime, by a vast percentage, is black on white, which is not considered a “hate crime” using the Dems twisted English, it follows then that most actual hate crimes are not covered by this “Hate-Crimes” Act.

Brilliant.

Honestly, why is Congress wasting time on this stuff. Can’t this just be reserved for an Oprah episode and leave it at that?

Trench warfare (ala Erick’s proposal of making great conservatives honorary members of the Macon Board) means diluting their stupid rule until it means nothing.

We should add one group after another until everyone can claim some sort of protected class. Then we have equal protection. e.g. If anyone has so much as one drop of blood from any protected class or has a close relative that is a protected class, they are considered to be a protected class.

But if we DID, it's OBVIOUSLY not a problem when military members are attacked. After all, they volunteered for the job, right? What an idiot she is. Worse actually, but after deleting multiple possible (probable) profane adjectives...

What % of pedophiles are democrats?

…that’s a dangerous assertion to make.

I’d say I recommend a poll.

compared to how many are veterans?

The numbers might shed some light on the motivation behind the legislation.

the whole issue is that Democrat are soft on crime PERIOD! If they would be for tough/stiff sentencing we might keep some of these criminals in jail. Criminal law and punishment is just another Political reward/punishment system by way to lock in votes. Amazes me how some folks think that letting criminals out over and over back into the community is viewed as a sensible/good thing.

The 14th Amendment specifically prohibits selecting any group or class from discrimination–or any special privileges.

After all, you can’t be equal under the law if one group gets special treatment, no matter the color of their skin, economic status or lifestyle.

There is no honor amongst thieves…

We must protect the pedophiles from the nasty, judgmental, fanatical religious right, didn’t you know?

Those veterans are violent products of a broken, imperialistic system. They can fend for themselves.

(Now, I need a shower.)

…there should be no special protections for any group or class.

“…Nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

This newspaper satire illustrates the perverse logic of hate crimes legislation (and picks up on the Rooney amendment):

Isn’t EVERYthing that the Dems are doing unconstitutional?

Fixed that for you.

Was that guys name Marcus Darby? The former Special Forces guy who dog was killed and was threatened on his property in Texas last month. That wasn’t a hate crime? No one is speaking out for him. The hypocracy of the left lives on.

I thought we were supposed to have equal protection under the law.
Hate crimes against veterans is okay, but not against pedophiles?
I am sick to death of the attack on regular American citizens-we are an endangered species.
Isn’t anything that the Dems are doing unconstitutional?

Which should be used against every Dem who voted no. Brilliant strategic moves by Rooney and King.
