Stephen Colbert makes more sense than Bill O'Reilly and he's trying to be funny (and actually is).

But exactly Ken. It criminalizes THOUGHT.

And think of this. What if one of the "protected classes" were conservatives? Could ANY of the liberals who support "hate crime laws" be said to be engaging in "hate-speech" when they say things like

Alec Baldwin, "let's got stone TO DEATH Henry Hyde and his FAMILY"

Howard Dean, "the only black people you'd see at the republican convention is the wait staff" or "republicans are evil"

John Murtha "those marines were cold-blooded murderers"


I could go on for days.....
