Just in case you were tricked into thinking yesterday's Congressional debate about The Matthew Shepard Act was limited to morons like Rep. Virginia Foxx, here's Democratic New Jersey Rep. Rush Holt delivering what will likely be the best soundbite to arise from the victorious passage of the hate crimes bill: "This is no more about criminalizing thought than the anti-lynching laws were about criminalizing knot-tying." BOO-YAH.
Adds Holt: "It is patently false to say we are criminalizing thought. … And to say that pedophilia somehow belongs in here represents such uniformed illogical and irrelevant thinking as to say kleptomania, drug abuse, school truancy, parking violation, and road rage belongs here. This bill is about hate crimes."

Good job! Someone needs to put Virgina in her place even if she was not directly talked about.
Queerty could have used the clip by Barbara Lee as well but maybe they are invested in a stupid race war as well.
@Chitown Kev: Barbara is my rep! she is the shining star of congress. Somehow the very gay, very liberal, and very black populations of her district all get along- Who'd a thunk???
@rogue dandelion:
Yep. Prop 8 was BEAT DOWN in Alameda County!
Dude! he took that minute and banged it out! Awesome!
