"Help, help! I'm being repressed!" says the white, christian dude.
I am unimpressed.

From the tone of the article he seems scared that all male federal employees will suddenly start wearing dresses so as to gain access to the women's restroom and locker room. Besides which he claims the rules themselves are a violation of federal law (DOMA) because it enables *gasp* Gay Marriage!

In other words, since all personnel records must be edited to include the transgendered individual’s new name and sexual identity, Bob, who was married to Tiffany before getting all sexually weirded out, is now Shirley but he is still married to Tiffany. He must be referred to as Shirley and his marriage to Tiffany must be recognized and benefits correspondingly awarded. Presto chango, homosexual marriage.

You got a problem with that, and have the antiquated notion that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and believe the antiquated notion that the law should be followed, well, once again, you are the one who’s in trouble and you will soon become the victim of a hate crime.

He does seem to have a very strange interpretation of what a 'hate crime" is, I wonder if that is not somewhat intentional. If the bigots co-opt the term for their own use repeatedly in situations where it does not actually apply wont they be muddying the waters against true hate crime legislation?

Most of the Wingnuts already seem confused about the difference between hate crimes (illegal) and hate speech (protected by the first amendment). After all the recent articles coming from the SoCons that conflate the two I am starting to wonder if this is not them intentionally trying to blur the lines even more with their supporters.

/ohh, new conspiracy theory!

Mr. Fisher, until you show me the Bible passages where Jesus harassed and hated on people I will continue to ignore everything you say.

This is the latest homophobic meme of the religious right: going Orwellian with the words "bully" and "victim." If they aren't allowed to bully GLBTs, that makes them the victims of bullying by gay/liberal agenda groups. Because a policy of "live and let live" is bullying. They are the victims of "to each, their own."

Yeah, I know: You can't fix stupid.

Dunno how one goes through ones life so filled with hate.

I guess he's just crazy and in need of some serious help.

This is the dude who says most hate crimes are committed by GLBTs and their allies. He's a pathetic lying piece of crap who calls himself a man of values. He's got values alright but they're shit ones.

Fischer is case in point why I continue to own 2 assault rifles and various other weapons. It is people just like him that I need to protect myself and my family from, with force if necessary. We have been stalked, threatened with physical harm and harrassed in various workplaces all because of views that he espouses with enthusiasm.

Two thirds of trans women report being assaulted and even raped at some point. Fischer is in favor of just that sort of thing as a sign of judgement on us.

I am entirely willing to send somebody to talk to God personally about it if they want to hurt me or my spouse and son.

As far as co-opting the term, racists do it all the time. If someone says something racist and you point it out, they will tell you YOU'RE actually racist for noticing it or making a deal out of it.

But yes, you're right about hate crime v hate speech. Also, to be convicted of a hate crime, you have to do something actually criminal that is motivated by a bias (religious, racial, etc.), pretty much the definition. Dressing or looking differently in some way does not constitute a criminal action! Yeesh.

re: #7 celticdragon

I just can't get over the interest "highly moral" people take in exactly what is happening in other people's bedrooms, or the results of highly personal surgery. I would think the relevant questions would be-is it hurting anyone? Is everyone happy? Then these highly moral people could move on to other less important topics like human trafficking, world hunger, and so forth.

His ideological forebears saw the suppression of their right to own slaves as monstrous tyranny, so it is no surprise he would take this position.

You are not letting me own other people, take other's land and posessions, and treat anyone else in my path however I please!

States rights! Tyranny!

I'm being oppressed by teh Fedds!
