Beware of any man, especially a former prosecutor seeking to be elected chief law enforcement officer for the United States of America, who expresses a disire to "improve" society by punishing politically incorrect thoughts through the expedient of hate crimes legislation.

Well-intentioned he may be. But the road to a hot, dark, intolerable place is paved with such good intentions.

Sounds like Rudy wants to put a stop to people dissing him in his possible run for president.

[burzum]

Dang, Guiliani. I had high hopes for you. But I can't support anyone making laws on thoughtcrimes (regardless of how vile they are).

[Dreagon]

Great, now he is pushing for more thought crime enforcement? And this is the guy that other Republicans keep wanting us social conservatives to vote for?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will............Not.............Happen

[narses]

Here is your hereo, asking for more 'hate crime laws'. Defend him, go ahead.

[silentreignofheroes]

Wasn't this dude knighted..?

[Chickensoup]

What about Mussilummm against everybody else hate crimes?

[Graybeard58]

Come and see what Rudy's up to now.

[HoosierHawk]

Disgusting.

---"That is why, immediately after those assaults, I made it clear that the city would not tolerate the blaming of groups for the terrorists' actions"---

Un-Friggin-believable.

---"Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."
---Rudy Giuliani

Damn.

[VictoryGal]

I'd love to see the Giuliani fans on FR explain this one.

[Graybeard58]

It's indefensable.

[part deux]

You're right on the money Wiffley Head. Thought crime legislation is the real term. In reality, all it does is elevate certain races and groups above others through law.

[DocH]

This is just as assinine and arrogant as Dodd and Biden calling for the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the SC state capitol, and is yet ANOTHER reason that a RINO is no better than a liberal demonRAT.

[TitansAFC]

Somebody page the Rudy-ophiles who are conveniently ignoring the thread, please!

[TitansAFC]

Ping.

[DocH]

Here is your hereo, asking for more 'hate crime laws'. Defend him, go ahead.
