While I like to see the repubs start fighting fire with fire, I am disappointed to see further expansion of the 'protected classes' which has already screwing up our social fabric. We don't need further compartmentalization and the judging/jealousness/hate/etc that accompanies those things.

I concur. I am against all hate crime legislation, as I see it as a dangerous road to go down, and a clear violation of the equal protection clause. A crime is a crime, regardless of the alleged thought process behind it, and should be prosecuted as such.
