Bush Threatens To Veto Hate Crimes Bill

How is Bush going to explain his threat to veto the hate crimes bill that passed in the House?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The White House has threatened to veto a bill passed by the House of Representatives on Thursday that expands hate-crime laws to include attacks based on sexual orientation or gender.

In other words, fuck you if you're gay, transgender, or a woman. You don't deserve protection under the federal law.

The White House says there is no need for the expanded bill because state and local laws already cover the crimes it addresses, and there is no need for federal enforcement.

There's no need for federal enforcement? Bullshit!! Just admit it!! You hate gay people and women. Clearly you don't give a shit about them because if you did, you would demand that there is federal enforcement of this bill.

Critics of the bill say it would have a chilling effect on clergy who preach against homosexual behavior.

"We believe that this legislation will criminalize our freedom of speech and our ability to preach the gospel," said Bishop Harry Jackson of Hope Christian Church in Lanham, Maryland.

Preach the Gospel? Man, these religious whacks are sick!! They are willing to allow people to be beaten, tortured, and murdered without being protected just so that they can PREACH THE FUCKING GOSPEL. You're damn right they should be held accountable for what they say. It's the message that they're preaching that instills hatred into people. If you tell someone that homosexuality is evil and that it's a sin to be gay, what do you think someone is going to do? Leave gay people alone? Hell no!! They're going to harass them to no end, and some even go as far as to kill gay people all in the name of GOD!! These people are just sick!! They make me sick!! It makes me sick to even think that there are people out there like this, calling themselves God-fearing, loving, good Christian human beings.

How dare the RESIDENT play GOD with the lives of gay people. How dare the RESIDENT play GOD with the lives of transgender people. How dare the RESIDENT play GOD with the lives of women. He's not GOD. And he doesn't have a right to deny them the protection that they deserve.

God These People Are Braindead Morons!!

Yet another braindead Republican has decided to open his mouth, and spout off about something he clearly doesn't understand.

Today, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) reiterated this far-right talking point. He claimed that under the hate crimes bill, you would be charged with a crime if you were “thinking something bad” before you committed a crime against someone. “I just think it takes us down a path that is very scary."

No, what's scary is that people like Mr. Boehner think it's perfectly acceptable to hate people. What's scary is that people like Mr. Boehner don't want to stop the cycle of violence against gays.

BOEHNER: I’ve got to tell you, I really don’t understand it. We’re going to put into place a federal law that says, not only will we punish you for the crime that you actually commit — the physical crime that you commit — but we’re also going to charge you with a crime that if we think that you were thinking bad things about this person before you committed a crime.

I just — I just really don’t understand it. I’ve been opposed to this for a long time and I remain opposed to it.

I mean, it’s a crime on what people were thinking when they were committing an act of violence. How do you walk into court and make a case for a crime because someone was thinking something bad. I just think it takes us down a path that is very scary.

Hey Mr. Braindead Moron, it's called premeditation!! There's such a thing as premeditated murder. You know, that thing where the killer actually thinks about killing another person even if it's a one or two second thought. But I wouldn't expect these jackasses to understand that concept!! It's only premeditation when it's a Republican or a Christian that they're talking about. If it's a gay person, it's perfectly acceptable to think about killing or injuring the gay person.

This is the TRASH that we have in Congress. The people in his district in Ohio need to have their heads examined for voting for this braindead jackass!!
