Watch me show you the opposition's heads exploding.
Sorry, Rep. Louie Gohmert, you fail.
I wanted to see the right's response to the passage of this bill. I lurked on Michelle Malkin, WND, and Red State, but they are still busy obsessing about the NY-23 race (Democrat Bill Owens for NY-23!) and their evil, librul arch-nemesis Dede Scozzfava. I then went onto freerepublic (aka freeperville) and searched through their archaic website design until I found a posting regarding the news that the bill had passed Congress. Just read these crazy comments. You'll laugh out loud or scoff at them.
(P.S. Please forgive the hard-to-read format of these copy-and-pasted comments, the web formatting on freerepublic is ancient.)

I spent around four hours emailing each senator, so needless to say...
There are two YouTube links having to do with oligarchy, democracy and a republican form of government. The first is at http://www.youtube.com/... . The video makes it clear, in simple terms, why our (past) republic was so unusual.
I still have some hope for the 2010 and 2012 elections. If not, then we will relearn what we should have known by 1989: that socialism is tyranny and doesn’t work.

I thought it was understood that if you hit someone without provocation or threat of violence or intimidation, that was a crime.
No man should assault another man without an expectation of greater force being applied to stop the initiator of assault.
That could very much result in the antagonist landing in the hospital.
Why do we need a thought a crime?

No, the ACLU won’t, likely on the grounds that current hate crime law covers nearly everyone in the United States now so they’ll probably argue it’s not discriminatory:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- National Origin
- Gender Identity (or perceived gender)
- Sexual Orientation
- Disability
The new legislation also added a provision that makes it a crime to attack someone who has been or is in the United States Military because of their service.
In theory, if a radical anarchist group attacked a Christian, female, straight, disabled woman because she was those things, they could be charged with four hate crimes.
**Now that virtually everything is covered, I don’t understand why it’s necessary - isn’t assault assault? Murder murder?** It seems like it’s largely unnecessary. From what I gather is if someone is attacked on the street for no reason, the punishment is less than if you targeted them for a specific reason. I’m not sure the logic makes a lot of sense ... random crime doesn’t hurt the victim any less than targeted crime, does it?
