The highly charged “Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009” (S. 909) would make it a federal crime to violently attack anyone you hate.
Unless, of course, the anyone you hate happens to be a white heterosexual.
That’s right, S. 909 -- aka, the “hate crimes bill” -- being pushed through by the Obama Administration as one of its highest legislative priorities would make it a federal crime to commit a violent act against anyone based on race or gender orientation – unless the race was Caucasian and the orientation was towards the opposite sex.
Lest anyone have any doubts about Mr. Obama’s primary intention to target those who don’t share his pigmentation or gender orientation biases, the President’s own Attorney General journeyed to Capitol Hill on June 29 to set the record straight. Here, in fact, word for word, is how AG Eric Holder described the intent of the Obama hate crimes bill when put to the test by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

I don’t see anything about EQUAL in the JUSTICE FOR ALL title. Justice has been hijacked.
What if I manage to set aside my innate racism and bigotry (and if you are white then you ABSOLUTELY have innate racism and bigotry; everyone knows THAT!); and I look right past their race, sexual orientation, religion, eye color, hair color, weight, height and fashion-sense, but I end up hitting them ANYWAY because they are just an A$$hole?
Is THAT a hate crime?

A bartender and a chef I knew got into a fight at the restaurant they worked at. The chef had been busting his balls for a week. They came to blows and the chef lost a tooth. He got a lawyer to sue for damages. When she found out he was Gay, she charged him with a Hate Crime and went for five years.
Re hitting a jerk — Is that a hate crime?
Whether it is or not doesn’t matter. It may be judged as one, depending on who you hit and who is on your jury.
“Hate crime” laws have but one purpose: to provide a “legal” basis to prosecute those deemed enemies of the state. These begin with laws tied to physical attack but soon are joined by laws tied to speech. These laws will be used to shut down sites like this one, to shut down talk radio and to attack religious groups who oppose things like homosexual “marriage”. These laws use newly created “rights” to trump selected rights clearly ennumerated in our Constitution. The laws themselves clearly violate the 14th amendment. They will be used to nullify others.
Christians are exempt as well...
This is just a loss of “Freedom of speech”.
People, it’s time we take this country back from the terrorists of freedom!
I think this bill comes up tomorrow (Wed. 7/15). Melt those lines, e-mail, fax - don’t let up on the Senate!!!!!
Hate. My constitutional right.
The vote on s.909 is happening today. I’m sitting at work watching the Senate session on CSPAN and fearing the worst.
