The Real Hate Crime = PC Media

When did you people turn into such pussies? Do you realize that our founding fathers FOUGHT DUELS over ideas? And now, some harsh speech in the public domain is "torture." And, I suppose, hearing you are a big meanie is akin to being crucified.

Good lord. It's freaking sad.
 
Great write up on how yet another honest view of a complicated subject was shouted down by Leftist Political Correctness run amok.

The last line is perhaps the most telling,

"The real hate crime these days is the Orwellian intimidation wielded by the left against those who don't think the way they do. It's worse than waterboarding."

Yes indeed...


RealClearPolitics - Political Correctness is Torture
So in one case the motive might have been drugs, which is probably was not in my opinion. How about the many other cases where it does have to with the fact they are homosexuals. Your story kind of left that part out!

And therein lies the point - this individual was making a point of clarification and has been demonized for it - that is the PC-environment that suffocates the public discourse in our society.

It is quite legitimate to voice concerns over legislating race, religion, or sexual preference specific crime. To attempt to silence such concern by calling those willing to share that concern as bigots is both an offense, and quite dangerous when that silencing is being supported by members within our own government.

the guys sexuality should never have played into this,they purposely killed another human,and should be given the max. sentence,JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.....to say you are going to make a violent crime against someone...A WORSE CRIME..because of his sexual orientation or skin tone is illogical and foolish....if you rob somebody and then beat the hell out of them, that sentence for the crime, should be just as severe,as it would even if the beater was calling him fag, ****** or whatever....violent offenders of the laws should be dealt with severely ....not just those accused of the so called HATE-CRIME.....no-one should be protected better than the next person,because of some preference.....justice is supposed to be blind....
 
America has a rich tradition of political insults. I find the OP as stifling as the behavior that it attempts to critique.

Words do not equate to torture. And for those of you who want to pretend otherwise, go lay in your bathtub, put a towel over your face, and let the water run into your mouth until you figure out differently.

You have summed up the basic principle of the article quite well here - as well as indicating the inherent bias of legislating some crimes as more severe over others based not on the actual crime, but the intent behind it. THAT is a very slippery slope for government to be initiating.

Those who question such legislation are not bigots, as some leftists are attempting to paint them, but rather Americans with enough common sense to realize the dangers of going down this path...
 
Miss California has the right to be a bigot and has the right to have fake boobs.

Is this a great country of what?

President Obama opposes gay marriage.

Thus, you are calling Obama a bigot.

You are so racist...

The cowardly little shits never batted an eye when the obamalama said "Marriage should be between a man and a woman." go figure!
 
...so, aren't we all for Hate Crime legislation?

Forget the specifics, shouldn't it logically be part of the law?

Well, as a lefty - I can say with ample assumed idiocy, that even though Obama seems like a really cool guy, his opposing gay marriage (if in fact he does) is prejudiced and illogical. Now, save your jokes about that making him perfect for the job, idealogy can be a bit bigger than one or two opinions, heck you might even find that righties disagree from time to time, we on the left of course do over almost everything... all that grey area, those moral relativists and such make too many opinions to pin down easily.
 
All crimes are hate crimes ... you have to hate the victim in order to harm them.

I don't think so. You could just be thinking of yourself and have no thought of the other person, that doesn't equate to hate.

So it appears the gay marriage issue is important to you, and yet you don't know President Obama's stance on this issue? He, as well as the vast majority of the Democrat nominees in the most recent Presidential Campaign, spoke against gay marriage, while supporting civil unions - much the same stance by the way, that the California beauty pageant contestent took. While she has been berated and ridiculed by the leftists, where is the same ridicule directed at Obama and the Democrat Party for their quite similar view regarding gay marriage?

Is Obama a stupid bitch?

You can't take Obama at his word? He made that statement opposing gay marriage. What does that make him then? A....wait I got it... A Liar!
