Phony christians to protest hate crimes legislation today

Today at 1:30 p.m., Christian Anti-Defamation Commission and various other groups will stand in front of the Justice Department and protest the recent lgbt-inclusive hate crimes law recently signed by President Obama.

They are hoping to get arrested for preaching about how "evil" homosexuality is, thereby adding credence to their narrative that the law punishes speech rather than action:

Ministers from various denominations will preach from the Bible, especially those parts that speak to the sin of homosexuality. This will serve to reassure ministers and Christians that they are free to do the same.

A letter from Matt Staver of Liberty Council will be presented to Attorney General Eric Holder that expresses our concerns about the many unconstitutional aspects of the hate crime bill. Specific legal challenges also may be announced then.


CADC doesn't have a leg to stand on because it has been proven continuously that hate crimes legislation has nothing to do with speech.

But since they have been proven wrong with logic, the CADC and their supporters are relying on repetition to beat folks down.

In a perfect world, this group and their cohorts would be ignored. Unfortunately, as the creation of cell phones have shown, this is not a perfect world.

Maybe they will be ignored, but I am suspecting something interesting to come out of today's protest and I am hoping that folks in our community don't provide it.
