What are you really trying to say? Right winger says that hate crimes legislation is a "Jewish plot"

[ck4829]

"Last week I wrote a post based on a revelation from Ted Pike that he apparently has regular contact with Janet Porter, but that Porter had been "reamed out" by Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition for associating with Pike and that, in response, Porter told Pike that if he ever publicly revealed that they spoke to one another, she would stop talking to him entirely.

Porter has had Pike on her radio program at least twice in recent months to discuss hates crimes legislation and apparently they have been working together in fighting the legislation ever since, which Pike opposes because he sees it as part of the plot by Jews to destroy and enslave Christian, which is why the Anti-Defamation League lists Pike in its Extremism in America database:

To promote his virulent anti-Semitic ideology, Pike often works under the guise of opposing federal hate crimes legislation and upholding free speech and Christian values. He gives interviews to extremist cable TV and Internet radio shows to further disseminate his anti-Semitic views and also links from his organization's Website to various anti-Semitic sites. Similarly, a variety of extremists, including neo-Nazis, post Pike's columns to their own hate sites, where they praise Pike's anti-Semitic invective.

If you want to know what ADL means when it says that Pike uses hate crimes legislation to spread his virulent anti-Semitic ideology, you need look no further than this new piece he just published on his website in which he calls Israel "the Great Harlot" and claims that the legislation is key part of the effort by "organized world Jewry" to gain "world dominion," funnel Christians into concentration camps and bring about the Anti-Christ."

1. this makes my head hurt.... seriously

and not just because of their sick thesis, but the Palin/ Freeper-like way of stringing it all together

2. Now this is one I have NEVER heard.

I am not surprised though.

3. Sounds sadly typical of racists and bigots...

Hate crimes legislation violates their freedom to treat those Others as they'd like; and must be a plot by that evil group.

I've mostly come across this particular one from homophobes; but it makes sense that antisemites and racists would use it too.

ETA: just read the whole thing - wow, that's sick. And worryingly reminiscent of the Holocaust Museum shooter.

4. ..and here I thought it was all part of the gay agenda.

Now I find out it's those damned Jewz...

5. Best watch out for those of us who are "twice-blessed" like me!

:evilgrin:

6. That explains it all...the Gay Jewish Agenda

or is that Jewish Gay Agenda? Either way, it's clearly an unstoppable conspiracy of monumental force designed to destroy America! :toast:

7. I think hate crime legislation is unnecessary

While I think these idiots don't deserve any respect at all, I think they have one thing right, that hate crime legislation is unnecessary. I could be wrong, but I don't see why it matters so much what inspired someone to commit a crime. It could be prejudice. It could just be a miscommunication problem. It could be jealousy. It could be simple rage. Either way, the person is in the wrong; isn't it enough just to punish them for being wrong?

8. Motivation counts.

Ask those you are charged with Murder 2 as opposed to Murder 1...BIG difference in sentencing.

[Viking12]

9. Clearly, the irony of these morons is lost on you.

'Religion' is given hate crime protection under earlier legislation. By their reasoning, because religion is protected the gubbmint will force me to accept Jesus.

10. Of course, I know that they're just trying to force Christian ideology, that's obvious n/t
