Did that bill not actually get passed?
My biggest concern is that the Feds keep inserting themselves in what I see to be State issues, much like the death penalty issues, etc. Are all violent crimes not motivated by some type of hate? We have plenty of laws in place to cover this already. The specific language of this bill could come back to bite us on the ass.
IMO: Craig is not news. Gay or not, He's a self-loathing douche. When he leaves, another douche just like him or worse will take his place . . . his situation is symptomatic of a much bigger issue which ought to be pretty clear to the GOP considering how many "morally superior" members they've lost to the Dark (pink) Side recently.
Isn't it about time for Uncle Dick to shoot someone else in the face? Last time I checked there was still a war raging in the Middle East.

The bill came about because anti-gay & anti-black crimes often reach a grotesque level of cruelty that someone who hates straight people (!?) rarely gets to. A straight person doesn't leave a straight bar and get brutally pounded to death with a bat and a piece of lumber because the victim was straight and a group of teens drove into town specifically to fuck up a straight person.

Firstly, I'm not trying to say that gays and blacks aren't subjected to criminal savagery . . . but show me a group who isn't. Get in line behind the American Indians.
Gays don't want to be defined by their sexuality and want to be treated to the same rights as straights, right? Seems like asking the Fed to pass a special amendment runs contrary to just that.
Appropriate criminal prosecution seems to be the real issue here. Local and State officials need to do their fucking jobs.

And anti-black crime? Call me when they solve the black-on-black crime issues.
Thanks for the Paul Broussard link but I do get cable and the newspaper under my (hetero) rock.

Larry, your toe-tapping proclivities are your own business (I know the value of a nice reacharound) but the sooner you officially come out, queen it up and legislate like you got a pair . . . the better.

"queen it up and legislate like you got a pair" would make a great H8 tagline...
