Legislation that would add crimes against gays and lesbians under federal hate crime law has come under fire from a collection of African-American leaders and a group that claims to cure "unwanted same-sex attraction' through faith.
The hate campaign against Vladimir Putin's Russia is really quite extraordinary, not only on account of its relentless ferocity but also because of its brazen reliance on rumor, exaggeration, and - all too often - utter falsehood. Take this piece by Cathy Young, recently downsized out of her longtime perch at the Boston Globe and relegated to the r

I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that. I was about seven years old when I got my first big lesson. I was in love with a little girl named Helene Tucker, a light-complexioned little girl with pigtails and nice manners. She was always clean and she was smart in school.

The neocons are claiming that us liberals are being hypocrites and denying Coulter her right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment. The couldn't be more wrong.
These kids today are making a disgrace of neo-Nazism. In my day, it wasn't just about mindless hate-we hated because we stood for something. You can't just call yourself the Master Race-you have to act like it, and hold yourself to a higher standard than those you despise and wish to exterminate.
