Bush to Veto Hate Crimes Legislation?

The House and Senate, with strong support from Republican legislators, look set to pass legislation that would include gender and sexual orientation under hate crimes laws. In his infinite wisdom, Bush has decided this would be worthy of one of the very few vetoes he has ever wielded. With your presidency falling apart under the weight of Iraq and a variety of scandals, why oppose something that is designed to protect a group that is indisputably the object of a great deal of hatred while imposing upon no one? Idiot! Where are his handlers? Who let him off his leash?

Conservatives rolled out their spokesmen though in some feeble attempt to explain why homosexuals should not be protected. "Dr." James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and expert bigot, has seen through the maniacal, subversive, anti-Christian liberal propaganda machine, arguing that the true intent of the bill is "to muzzle people of faith who dare to express their moral and biblical concerns about homosexuality." The way he reads it, "you may be guilty of committing a 'thought crime.'" Huh?! It is always so difficult for me to believe that idiots like this exist, and that thousands of other idiots nod their heads without ever questioning.
