I agree hate crime laws should not exist. They are an institution of the left. The only way to change them is to get significant legislative control. That will not occur as long as we’re being beaten up in street fights by the left and their laws. Sometimes you have to get down and dirty in the trenches before you can climb out and sweep up.
But yeah, I know, turn the other cheek and all that bull$hit, we’re better than they are, let’s be martyrs forever, winning isn’t important - your kids will understand - or they’ll wonder why in hell you, as their parent, didn’t do something about this nonsense when there was still a chance at success. Yada yada yada. I’ve heard your BS argument a thousand times on a hundred subjects. You can do what it takes to win so that these things can be corrected, or you can continue to lose and these things will get worse and more entrenched. You can fight for sunshine tomorrow or you can sit there beating your chest about your purity and humility and deal with rain forever.
My husband and I will go down fighting if we have to. But you can sit there in your self-righteousness and stroke your own ego for sticking to your principles while everything deteriorates around you and your kids. Your argument is the same as that of those who want Gitmo closed - detaining people without trial is beneath our standards, and it matters not if we let them out so they can blow us to hell. Don’t take up the legal bludgeons used against whites no matter how one-sided and detrimental they are to whites because hate crime laws are objectionable on their face. There’s no difference between the two arguments in terms of the principle vs. the damage done.
Please, get real.
If you don't stand on your principles, then you have none.

Who taught you to discuss and debate, Paul Begala ... maybe James Carville??? Sheesh woman, I write that if something is wrong, it is wrong, and all of a sudden I'm getting lectured about purity and Gitmo.
Have a nice day, newbie.
As usual, nothing in the local news. All my updates keep coming from here.
Local news just had a snippet that mentioned the same report that was earlier describing the attacker and report info. No new developments.
It was reported by Fox today that her leg was broken in five places. She was mauled by her attacker and could have been killed!
It was her leg that was broken as reported by Fox. It was broken in five places.
Your post is a keeper. It is a view into the true mindset of the left. Their war against Capitalism is the same war being persued by the Obama Regime. If they accomplish their objective, they will impoverish mankind around the globe.
These Marxists have a mental malfunction that would take someone in a different pay grade to explain. Why these fools want to bite the hand (Capitalism) that feeds them is beyond my ability to reason.
Villere opined that what started out as a peaceful protest was infiltrated by “professional agitators” who were in New Orleans to protest the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) that was held last weekend.
I emphasized the words "professional agitators." Were that SEIU people? Were they recruited by the Democrat Party? Did they stir up the crowd to inspire the idiot to brutally beat up participants?

FYI, I am Walter Abbott. And also FReeper “abb.” I did the interview with Mr. Villere. I served on the Louisiana GOP State Central Committee with him about 12 years ago.
We discussed what term to use - “professional agitators” was his choice of words to differentiate them from the local university types (University of New Orleans, etc.).
His opinion was that it was people who traveled to New Orleans specifically to protest the SRLC event.
Only mentioned 'by saving Grace' it was not her head.
Well, chemicalman, it pained me but see why I suggested we send that photo of the guy to the hospital and *not* NOPD?
The 8th district police station is in the next block or two, right? This reporter has the crime and courts beat for the TP, you’d think she might be a little more suspect of NOPD with all of her coverage so far. Tis not a good time for the force these days. 16 more days of Nagin and his Chief.

Jindal made tough ethics laws for La. after he became governor, and I like to see him put more pressure of these laws on N.O. since this incident if there's any cover-up by NOPD.
Hubris, all around.
Oh, and one last thing, NOPD never released a SKETCH of the perps.
