1. (and these are the ones we know about)

K & R

[Christa]

2. K & R

I have goosebumps. :cry:

WTF are we doing to each other?

[unpossibles]

5. it's ok - The Bible tells us it's ok

this is so f'd up. I am at a complete loss how people can be so inhuman sometimes.

[sheerjoy]

8. Not MY BIble

... what a sad sad post... thanks... very sobering.


FRED, GOD'S COMIN' FOR YA AND NOT LIKE YA THINK!

[unpossibles]

30. yeah, I know.

I was being facetious because I can't understand how those who have a God of Love and Peace can hate people so much.

these murders are exactly why we need hate speech laws.

[sheerjoy]

42. Don't get me wrong....

I feel that pain and disgust.... and it irks me deep that they even played up that he was affiliated with anything remotely spiritual. I know I am not his judge, but this is where I break down and say there HAS to be a special room in hell for this type person....

...and then I repent of the thought. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Christa]

44. You know what

fuck the damn bible.

[gaspee]

3. Careful

Don't you know it's intolerant of you to point out the damage done by hate. Makes you just as bad as them.

::sarcasm::

[Madspirit]

4. heehee...n/t

[Arugula Latte]

9. Also -- Freepers and Hannity and Malkin are watching!!!

Shhhhh! Don't give them any ammunition! It's so DISRESPECTFUL to speak badly of Falwell!

:sarcasm:

[Duncan Grant]

12. LMAO!

:) :pals:

[Maven]

18. Exactly

How much tolerance did these people receive?

Who planted the seeds of intolerance in their victimizers?

K/R.

[EFerrari]

39. I want to be BADDER than them -- bad enough to send those cowards

back under their slimey rocks.

So, please, tell me how BAD I am. lol

[Neoma]

6. R.I.P

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Nah, we don't need hate crime legislation.

:sarcasm:

Great post, Madspirit.

[vickitulsa]

10. You know who's face I thought I was going to see here....

And of course, it may as well have been!


:mad:

[racaulk]

11. Falwell celebrated in the deaths of people such as this. I will therefore celebrate his death.

Very sobering and sad post, Madspirit. This is precisely why we need hate crimes legislation in this country.

[Duncan Grant]

13. Help! I'm an intolerant gay man who doesn't know how to behave appropriately.

I'm just as bad as him! :sarcasm:

Great post, Madspirit. :loveya:

edit: subject line

[Stinky The Clown]

14. The hate fomented by Falwell and those of his ilk made this sort of thing okay.

This is NEVER okay. But Falwell and the other haters made such crimes just hunky dory. No big deal. Deserved. Tolerable. God's will.

This is NEVER okay.

Edit for dab slepping

[loudsue]

15. DON'T FORGET ANDY STEPHENSON!!!

If THAT wasn't a "hate crime", nothing is. :cry:

:kick::kick::kick: & R

[Zenlitened]

16. And Gwen Araujo...

... a child taken from her mother by hate... :(

[Cults4Bush]

17. That EMTs refused to help Tyra

always freaked me out... was and still is a scary thing to contemplate in the world of teh transgendgered, those that are supposed to save you may not. Also I think a similar incident happened in CA a while back.

Im amazed at how hot tears can be sometimes.

Thank you Madspirit.

[Madspirit]

19. Time to Kick...n/t

[Forkboy]

20. You have no class and are no better than him.

Or so some will tell you.

So,in order to prove those people correct I've come up with a schedule for my week ahead.If I'm going to be accused of being just like him I'm damn well going to enjoy the benefits that come with being a world class bastard!

Day 1 - Use my cable network to swindle millions from the gullible,lonely and scared.

Day 2 - Use that money to further my hateful agenda towards the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.

Day 3 - Use my new found power and influence to get more powerful people at the very top of governement to help continue my agenda with even more vigor and strength.

Day 4 - Use any available disaster,no matter how horrendous,as a launching pad to blame the people I think are responsible for all the world's ills.Luckily enough for me,these are the same people from Day 2,so no one will really ever hold me responsible for those words.In fact when I die those people will be compared to me! I love this racket,I really do.

Day 5 - Offer to flip the switch on the electric chair of some convicted criminal,because the Ten Commandments are just for the suckers.

Day 6 - Foment instability in the hope of the Second Coming happening as soon as we can engineer it.

Day 7 - Sit back,count my money,laugh at the people who hate me,laugh at the people who love me,laugh at the ones in between who fall my shit.Light my (Cuban) cigar with $100 bills,fat belly rolling with glee as I laugh about how dumb people are.Prepare to start process over again the next day.

[Kurovski]

22. I ain't gots no class, needer. Some Lord Chumley tol' me so,

so's it mus' be true! :cry:

Can I helps youse wit swindlin' the old geezers? Dat sounds just exactly like the kinda hate I does already anyhow, doncha think?

[Forkboy]

27. lol...Chumley

[Madspirit]

34. Forkboy!

How will you keep up with this busy schedule? Hate takes time.
Lee

[Forkboy]

35. Well I left myself some free time to swim in my cross-shaped swimming pool.

And I just added a KKK Hood Teepee to the playroom where I play Cowboys and Infidels,so it's not all work.

[noiretextatique]

36. mighty busy schedule you got there, rev asshole

:hi: i guess no room there for whining about mlk's "insincerity," supporting apartheid, and calling rev. tutu a "phony" with an already full schedule.
apparently i also lack class and tolerance for racist, bigoted, swindling, lying assholes...dead or alive :shrug:

[Forkboy]

40. I'm outsourcing that stuff.

:hi:

[Duncan Grant]

47. I'm already sayin' great things about you -- and you're not even dead.

Gosh, BigDaddyReligion -- you're swell. :loveya:

p.s. Beautifully done, Forkboy. :thumbsup:

[terrya]

21. You forgot Andrew Anthos

72 year old man. Killed because he was gay.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x48998

[JackBeck]

24. Sadly, this is an old list.

From NYC the three most recent hate crimes that come to mind are: the beating of Kevin Aviance; the young African-American man who was dismembered and stuffed in trash bags that were found in a subway tunnel; and the gay man who was lured to a remote spot by a bunch of kids, robbed, beaten, then repeatedly run over by a car driven by one of the kids.

[terrya]

26. Yes...you're right.

I should know it's an old list. There have been many, many more who have been tragic victims of hate.

But, of course, some assholes would say that Federal Hate Crimes legislation is wrong...violates free speech and all. Said assholes should be on the receiving end of these kind of vicious crimes.

[JackBeck]

28. The Senate vote is mid-June, I believe.

Get plenty of rest between now and then, buddy.

:pals:

[terrya]

29. My two Senators will be voting for it.

Unless both Dick Durbin and Barack Obama get lobotomized and somehow are transformed into drooling hatemongers, they'll vote for it. Nevertheless, I have their Washington office phone numbers.

Thanks, guy. :-)

:pals:

[Madspirit]

41. Exactly

This list was only through 1994.

[undergroundpanther]

23. Hate the haters

Because if we do not hate the haters we'll be hurt abused and manipulated,
A sin of omission of by standing,of being passive and spewing words of false piety when a hater kills is wrong.

If you fail to be morally outraged at the intolerable immoral acts and words of haters,than you are not all that moral.

Karma does not occur unless someone steps up and risks to become the Daka/ Dakini that balances the hater's cruelty with a well deserved hateful response This is the antidote to his hate,the response of hate that says NO, you cannot do that to those people, NO, bully you cannot say that without feeling my wrath in return as I draw the boundary that limits what you do, bully.. WE need to create a social BOUNDARY upon bullies.Make and enforce a limit on what kinds of hate and bigotry are morally wrong..Hating people for existing is WRONG, hating people for being what they are is wrong
Hating a bully because he harms is NOT wrong it is boundary making. It is justice it is true karmas.Karma is not dispensed after death it is dispensed by you and I when we say enough is enough and cease tolerating abusers.

Hate the haters for their hatefulness..for hating haters is the only way to protect the gentle people,different/creative people,marginalized people, weaker people,from the predatory psychopaths among us who would do anything hateful because they believe by our tolerance of their hateful ways that they can get away with doing it..

Make hating incur COST to the hater.After all they are the cause of the hate.

Enough letting the victims of hate bear the stains and pain of psychopath bigots and their hateful beliefs no more excuses.
YOU can be the effect in response to that"causer",and stop the hate by stopping the tolerance and pity of haters who abuse and victimize.

Draw the boundary line and enforce it,with fists and guns if necessary.Do not by stand while bullies cross the line of all things moral with the intolerable and unspeakable...words and deeds.We do not have to tolerate the intolerable.To do that victimizes us all.

[Straight Shooter]

25. Only 1 listed for Tennessee?

Impossible. I'm guessing the families hid the truth. :(

[KG]

31. but lets not speak ill of the mongers of this kind of hate, or

we're as 'bad as they are'. :eyes:

can't believe there are those that made that kind of infantile comparsion the last few day,

[Forkboy]

33. Hannity is going to quote you tonight so be careful what you say.

He might think less of us,dontcha know?

:hi:

[truebrit71]

37. Hannity can kiss my arse.

n/t

[Kurovski]

43. That's a shame, because Hannity is TOTALLY hot!

We should start a fan club, that'd be bitchin', sick, and awesomely rad!

I want a lock of that dreamy hair to put under my pillow!

I LOVE YOU SEAN!!! Please marry me!! :cry:

Oh wait...it's illegal to get married, isn't it?

[GoneOffShore]

32. "Done to death by slanderous tongue"

A very sad commentary on the evil that Jerry Falwell, his ilk and spawn have loosed upon the world.

[EFerrari]

38. K&R

:nuke:

[jdiggity]

45. Not to sound insensitive

but are there any statistics on hate crime that are a little more recent? I'd be curious to know, given that republicans have been in charge now for a good long time, if and how hate crime has fluctuated. If we are to say that the incitement for that hate is coming from right-wing sources like Falwell, then given the increasing strength their voices have had over the years, one could reasonably expect hate-crime to have gone up significantly.

Any ideas on statistics nowadays?

Thanks.
