WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder says recent violent attacks show the need for a tougher hate crimes law.
Holder, speaking Tuesday at a luncheon for civil rights lawyers, noted the recent killings of an abortion doctor in Kansas, a soldier in Little Rock, and a guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington.
He called the attacks brazen acts committed in once-unthinkable places, and said it is past time for Congress to strengthen hate crimes laws to prosecute violence based on gender, disability, or sexual orientation.

I hate that guy.
Oh, shut up, Holder.
If hate were indeed a crime, Eric Holder is guilty as sin.
Funny, your fellow ‘Rats in Congress didn’t seem to feel it was appropriate to give our men and women in uniform those same protections. Wonder why, Eric?
What? Like a new law to prevent assaulting gypsies?
Dance, gypsy, dance!
Liberal Solution to all problems make more laws, that will stop the already criminal behavior.
No mention of the US soldiers shot and one killed by an Islamic radical terrorist!
This idiot should read the law a bit. There are thousands of laws on the books to take care of criminals who hurt people, kill people, rob people, bugger people and otherwise commit mayhem on people. He wants to make everything race based. That is racist.
We desperately need a hate czar.
Didn’t we already get this in the new PERVERTS law?
Every crime committed has hate as a basis because someone has something you don’t have, or that you want and can’t afford so !!!
Holder fills me with disgust. I am still incensed that he called America a nation of cowards. HE’S the filthy stinking coward, spewing such a slur while hiding behind government power and protection of his worthless little hummingbird a$$.
I’d like to challenge him to a duel, but since he is only half a man I could only challenge him to half a duel.
Shades of Iran.
“Rats in Congress didn’t seem to feel it was appropriate to give our men and women in uniform those same protections.”
Excellent response.
Mine might have gotten me into trouble, so I will just say, “ditto”.
Slow going at the abortion mills, huh Eric?
Mimes’ really bother me....will they be arrested too??
