Heterosexuals also victims of hate crime

Posted April 02, 2008 11:00 pm

According to the FBI's 2006 Hate Crime statistics (2006 stats are the latest ones available), nationally there were 29 "hate crimes" attributed to "anti-heterosexual bias" committed that year.

Every year there is a similar number of such "hate crimes" committed by anti-heterosexual bigots.

You wouldn't know such crimes even exist if you only had the biased dominant liberal media to rely on for that information, because they ignore such anti-heterosexual crimes.

Fortunately there are credible alternative media (which is a major reason why those biased liberal media are deservedly losing circulation and advertising -- another reason being that they ignore and/or censor too many inconvenient facts).

If Gov. Blagojevich takes the Daily Herald editorial's advice to "Get moving on staffing hate crime panel," a good test of the objectivity and trustworthiness of his eventual Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes will be whether it draws some attention to anti-heterosexual crimes in addition to the more numerous and more well-known anti-homosexual crimes. We'll be watching.
