USA Today | June 16, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that recent killings show the need for a tougher U.S. hate crimes law to stop "violence masquerading as political activism."

If they are hateful murderers, they must be executed twice. Obama will raise them from the dead so this is possible.

Holder has got to be the stupidest AG ever. Janet Reno looks half-bright by comparison. Holder could screw up a one-man parade.

As in the ancient Federalists “Alien and Sedition” act?

That one backfired pretty good - but not until after people had gone to jail.

No, but with this new legislation, he can prosecute Christians faster ....

While ignoring Muslims who shoot Christians outside recruiting stations, in subways, temples, on the street and in churches ....

Yeah, and if we do they’ll pull all the spy agency staff off foreign nationals, and focus on us. Hey, gotta keep their priorities straight.

Never seen one, but I will admit to fashion crime.

Conservatives used to be better organized (thank you Karl Rove) but the story of this election was the superior organization of the left.
______________
I agree 100%!! They had a deplorable candidate but a great community organizing team. It was all a mass attack that was all smoke and mirrors and it worked. It may cost us our country and life as we have known it for over 200 years, but by God, they pulled the scam off.

Is this in reference to the DHS memo? That truly was hateful.

He’s probably pandering to the pro choice crowd. Bossman (Emmanuel) put him up to it.

Why do I feel so much like a Jew in Warsaw during Hitlers reign?

Are they going to go after “truthers”?

How about Code Pink?

How about the New Black Panthers who intimidate voters?

Are they going to go after the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayres?

Somehow I think they’re going to come after people like me who dare question them on FreeRepublic....
