Let's call it what it is: Today's speech by W was a HATE CRIME.
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 05:31 PM by Philosoraptor
A hate crime on a vast scale. I am expecting a spike in anti gay violence to break out again soon. He is putting it into the heads of the zealots that gays threaten the very core of our society and are the number one threat, and many unhinged zombies believe this shit for real.

What implications could occur from Bush's anti gay hate crime?

If one of us stood up to propose it, we'd likely be arrested.

considering as how the entire "Federal Marriage Act" is based on and consists of nothing but RW hyperbole.

15. That's funny
In your time here at DU you have not posted once on ANY OTHER TOPIC. At all.

Gay marriage sure seems to be your bugaboo.

24. Oh that's a good one
You join on 6/2 and in the last 30 mins you've jumped into thread and thread about gay marriage and start flame wars.

Logical? Sane?

Look in the mirror, Taffy. It's not a pretty sight.

25. I think it's a logical conclusion myself
Using level headed thinking, how can this hate legislation promotion not be considered a hate crime. It is pure hate and we should be able to prosecute those who would create an environment of hate in this country.

People will be killed based on what Bush did today - that is a crime.

5. If only we could get the Dem leadership to frame it that way.
In any case though, it may be worth getting your meme out to Air America and other liberal talk radio outlets.

8. I was not suprised. The smirk, the talking points and how
many times did he demonize judges? So next time I go to court for anything I should not trust the JUDGE???!!!

Crazy.

14. He's just encouraged the worst people in society
Face it, he has more in common with neo-nazi skinheads than ordinary Americans.

16. Did you notice he looked very unsure of himself?
I didn't see it all, but after finishing he looked like someone who just went through an ordeal.

Ah well, could be my imagination. But sometimes Bush looks 'not as he's supposed to', if you know what I mean.

Over here, the reporters says he never will get this through Congress, and that this was Bush' way of boosting support among the fundies. Any comments on that?

18. I wouldn't call his speech a hate crime if I were you
Just going to feed the conservative hysteria that liberals are going to "outlaw the Bible and persecute Christians".

Bush is making a joke out of himself anyway. Most AMericans known that this is simply political posturing.

27. The rabid conservative Christians are going to be rabid
and hysterical regardless of what we say or do. They manage to manufacture persecution out of whole cloth while bullying people who are just seeking equality. The OP was just calling a spade an spade and I agree with the OP.

28. Stupid? Yes. Bigoted? Yes. But a hate crime?
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it to the death."

Hate crime might be going a little overboard eh?

30. Making discrimination legal is going a little overboard too.
So yes, I am guilty of hyperbole.

31. W's just trying to pander to his disgusting base.
And that's it. Sure, it may be considered a hate crime, but his base is full of disgusting pricks and it's sad that these are the people in power and the ones we have to deal with.

32. I'm confused. Weren't the 'illegal aliens' the biggest threat to our
society last week? Now, it's gays? And next week or year, can we get back to Muslims?

I'm 57 years old and for 52 of them I was safe in my country. Now every week there's a new biggest threat! What am I to think?
