I'm confused
Repeated Vandalism of Mosque Is to Be Investigated as Bias Crime
By THE NEW YORK TIMES

Published: April 24, 2004

So if we pick on any other group its a hate crime with stronger penalties and if we mess with Mosques its only a Bias Crime?

Oh yeah, America is going in the right direction, (note the dripping sarcasm)

1. Good question....
Its only a "hate crime" if it impacts groups with plenty of
political clout within the halls of OUR congress. :mad:

2. Its the Fox
ploy of calling suicide bombers homicide bombers, it makes them more evil. Calling hate crimes against a Mosque bias crimes is just f&$#ing deplorable.

4. I had heard
that Fox news is just coming right out now and saying Iraq did 9-11. I haven't seen it firsthand but someone told me they have been saying for a while. About the only people left that believe that still have outhouses, and of course bill o'lielly

5. That continues to be the case....
somebody had posted some excerpts where Fox continues to state that
Iraq was directly linked to 9/11.
Its state propaganda at its finest...something we have to fight
against...everyday.
