Hate Crimes Bill Heads to Obama for Signature

[StoogeWatcher]

And where were these same liberals when Jeffrey Curley and Jesse Dirkhising were killed? Oh wait, since they were murdered by NAMBLA, Democrats don't consider Jeffrey and Jesse hate crime victims.

[wickedfan5172]

So, this guy is saying that it is okay to kill a gay man and write "die faggot" on his back but let it be okay because his "religion" said it was fine? I don't think this man knows the first thing about Christianity.

[incedius420]

More wastefull goverment brought to you by the wastefull goverment.

[Cutterxx4]

isnt every crime a "hate crime"? its not cuz people are gay, black, white..w.e...its cuz the person doing the crime in botherd by the victim in some way or just likes to be a criminal caused by a form of mental retardation. Just like in every crime. passing "hate crime" bills just seperates people even more

[Gulfporter]

What is it with guys named Jackson who call themselves bishop (none of the actually are bishops) that they are bigoted black jackasses?

[meloveanna]

fuck everything, science is the only thing that should run the world.

[yunusbilakhiya]

the more u push the more it will come out its better to let time take its own cycle

god bless aman

[wiannoboy]

yes HOMOsexxxuals (as you like to pronounce it) are now recieving protection within the law !

What does this mean? It means all you bigoted Christian Fundys need to be careful and stop spreading the hate against HOMOsexxxuals as you have been doing for hundreds of years.

STOP THE HATE or youll have the law after your asses....thank you JESUS !!! !!

God Bless

[gwar265]

and that man is pretty much saying

"i dont want the bill passed because ill start getting in trouble for beating up gays"

[gwar265]

god dont real

[peterpietrandrea1]

it passed :)

[tgfdhtgrefds]

Some gay punks were throwing rocks at my dog.

Why can't I get some hate protection for my dog?

[darksideofthenation]

wow is this FOX NEWS?

[sf3038]

Queers already have too many rights. This bill is ridiculous, we already have laws they just need to be enforced. I hope this bill is changed it will do more harm than good.

[Oglenthorne]

We're living in the last days. Our President is a non-eligible usurper bisexual (google Larry Sinclair) who is racist (hates whites) and loves Communism while hating America. Pray his reign of destruction will be cut short else this country will be utterly ruined.

[MrSyntha6]

thaks to Christian people like you and bush.

[Oglenthorne]

America exists thanks to Christian people like us, and in spite of, yet to the benefit of, atheists, Muslims, Jews and people of all religions. Ironic isn't it? Herr Obama needs to be corrected. He isn't the one we've been waiting for. Jesus Christ is THE ONE we've been waiting for. Fortunately, it won't be much longer.

[friedrice2519]

Because Christian free speech deliberately entails violent crimes.

"You mean it's now a disservice to the COUNTRY to beat a fag?! Just taking away our freedoms bill by bill"

[sf3038]

Screw the Queers we already have laws we don't need a special bill for Queers. The only thing this will do is take away our freedom of speech. Ridiculous.

[tzushih]

Really? We've had the exact same language for 40 years addressing crimes based on religious preference. How is expanding it to include sexual preference going to take away anyone's freedom of speech? Or were you planning to go beat up some "queers" this weekend?

[Rightwingist]

Where are the laws to protect straight white males? You know the ones that helped to build this country, the ones that still pay a majority of taxes. I know, straight white guys are the problem, right?

[Rightwingist]

What a bunch of crap, Homos don't need to be legitimized in any form. This is just Obama trying to pander to them for votes. This is not something that is needed. It is just a lying sack of shit politician destroying America to get a few votes.

[tzushih]

Hooray for some actual progress from the Obama administration!

[Rightwingist]

Now fags can suck each others peckers in peace, Why to go Obama!

[tzushih]

My goodness, are you saying they shouldn't? This is America, land of freedom, up to and including the freedom to have sex how you want. Go to Saudi Arabia if you hate freedom so much! :D

[Rightwingist]

Go and suck in peace, cocksucker.

[idontbakenocookies]

good. i hope it passes.

[dcbornmike]

Airpower: When I said I knew I liked males at 5, I didn't mean sexually as adults do..I meant that I was attracted (little crushes I suppose) to other boys. I think children know more then what we give them credit for. Ask most gay people and they will tell you the same thing. They knew their feelings for same sex gender Long before they acted on them. Gay children can have miserable childhoods knowing their feelings and not being able to talk to anyone about them.

[dcbornmike]

Airpower: I am trying to educate you.

Cant you at least give me the dignity of Knowing how I feel?? I am telling you,that at 5 I knew I liked males. I didn't know what it was called and I Instinctively Knew Not to say anything. Lucky for me I'm masculine and had alot of friends My teen years were Not a nightmare like many others gays teens had. I "passed" Was "Reborn" at 22 when I met another young 'regular acting" person like me,who wasn't the monster I had always heard about from hetros.

[Rightwingist]

Prevert

[tzushih]

You do know that it's only thanks to a "prevert" named Alan Turing that the Allies won World War II, right?

[Rightwingist]

Oh, the entire war was won because of him? Bullshit! Do you have to go all the way back to the 1940's to find a fag that accomplished trivial shit like that. He was not even American.

World War II was won because 1000's of decent STRAIGHT guys fought hard and won it. dip shit!

[tzushih]

Yeah, trivial shit like cracking the German Enigma code, and also incidentally inventing most of modern computer science. The British government only apologized last month for arresting him and destroying his life. But that's OK, I'm sure if you try hard you'll accomplish maybe a tenth of what he did.

[dcbornmike]

Rightwingist: : First off...learn to spell buddy..it is Pervert NOT Prevert.

Thanks to you and your buddy Sf3038 for your comments! With comments like that I don't have to say too much about why we had to add the sexual orientation onto the hate crimes bill. Boys, lightening up! The big bad Gay boogie man isn't coming after you two. Might want to check with a professional as to see Why you are so afaird of gay folks. Where All the white men who built this country hetro..i dont think so...?

[Rightwingist]

Ok, Thank you so much, pervert! Oh, and don't give me that shit about being afraid (correct spelling by the way dumb ass) of fags. I know exactly who I am, fact is I simply do not think its right and I damn sure don't want my kids influenced with your gay cocksucking bullshit. Get over yourself, face it your queer and I' m not.

[dcbornmike]

Rightwingist: temper temper.

What if one of your kids is gay (they sure as hell wouldn't be able to tell you out of fear). Would you try to be a good father and accept him? Everyone in America has someone in their family that is gay.

Again, just because You dont think its right doesn't mean the legislation isn't needed .

Too much hatefullness in your writing to not suspect something is going on with your manhood.

[Rightwingist]

What the fuck would you know about manhood, except sucking on it or taking it up the ass?

I really don't have to worry about my kids "being" gay. In my comment I meant I don't want them to be around perverted gays. It is wrong and that is that. i should have the right to raise my chldren wouldn't you think?

[dcbornmike]

Rightwingist: I am very much a man.. you can be gay and be very much a man. Having sex with a woman does not Make you a man.

Wow..I have rarely seen someone so Hateful and bigoted as you are.

I hope All the people that might be on-the-fence about whether we need anti gay laws, read your comments and can understand why we need the laws on our side. Its a dangerous world out there with

people who are Not sure of their sexuality and show it in violence,verbal or physical, to gay people

[Rightwingist]

look asshole, if you read my comments there are on threats, Just telling you if you weren't COFUSED there would not be a problem and since you have a problem stay the hell away from me. You are the ones that are sick in the head. They should come up with a threatment for you sick fucks.

[dcbornmike]

Rightwingist: ' Notice I have not called you any names but I think Asshole (as someone recently wrote) might describe you.

Asshole, closed minded and bigoted.

I can see some uneducated type not understanding homosexuality But someone who has so much Hatred is hiding something...

[dcbornmike]

Airpower: I HAVE to respond to you.You made mention of the "rise of gays" is from 'glorification in the media etc"

Even at my age, I'm Amazed how ignorant (NOT STUPID) many hetros are about gay folks. I come from a family of 4 kids-3 hetros. Was totally imursed in hetrosexism (if thats a word!),Lots of love from my parents, saw Nothing about homosexuals. Had 'gay feelings" at 4-5 Knew to Shut the Hell up and not mention this to NoOne, even at 5! Long before I acted on it. You cant Become gay!

[MrShermansMarch]

This reporter is a liar. There is no "special protection." Equal has never been special.

[MrShermansMarch]

Christians should stand up and repeal the protections that they enjoy under previous hate crimes legislation, before they complain about Gay people receiving

those same rights.

[StoogeWatcher]

Liberals are happy that NAMBLA will now get special protection. Also, why are there no bills named after Jeffrey Curley or Jesse Dirkhising? How about one named after Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom?

[dcbornmike]

Stoog Watcher; Lets call it like it is...gay folks and/or "Liberals" (99 .9 %) have nothing to do with NAMBLA. Gays Have disgust for any one taking advantage of under age people(bulletin..most are hetro men molesting young girls). Where does this bill give special protection to child molesters?. Why is it that when gays are mentioned, some hetros, perhaps not too sure of their sexuality, feel they have to bring up a comparison of gays with having sex with kids and animals.

[SpeedyBruin]

Freedom of speech is not threatened by this law, which already exists to protect people on the basis of race, religion, age, national origin, disability, gender, and veteran status.

The speaker in this video doesn't seem to be raising the same objections to these other civil rights protections, which leads me to believe that this is merely about a disliking for gay and lesbian Americans.

[Mrfranxs]

what the sucks

[dcbornmike]

IF you had a child who was Born gay wouldn't you want the law to be there to protect them against those that are Not real sure of their own sexuality and would take it out against someone who is gay ??

[nsaneone]

No one is born gay, it is a choice.

[dcbornmike]

nsaneone. could I ask if your hetro or gay?IF you are hetro don't you think it a bit presumptious of you to make the statement that no one is born gay?

[dcbornmike]

"NO one is born gay" a quote from nsaneone. Quit presumious from, I assume a hetro who can make the statement as the truth. Speaking for millions and millions of gays in every country.

When the 'juices' started flowing at age 11or 12 in you, did you make a Choice to be hetrosexual? Of course you didn't. You didn't need for someone to tell you it was right or wrong...you're wired to like the opposite sex. Same is true for gay folks. Why is that so hard to understand?

[adamitshelanu]

Maybe the Muslim Religious Jurists should speak up too. I believe they have an interesting take on this law also...though it might come across in an uncomfortable way for our President, who was born Muslim, but is a Christian, which is "frowned upon" under Afghan Law. :^/
