Anger Against Hate Laws Rises

By Rev. Ted Pike

So much hostility to "anti-hate" laws has been generated as a result of Philadelphia’s arrest of eleven Christians for "hate crimes," that a distinct possibility emerges: the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, architect of "anti-hate" laws worldwide, might lose its nerve. It might not re-introduce its mammoth federal anti-hate bill, The Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act, as it has promised in early spring.

Such a defeat for the federal hate bill before it is introduced would be immeasurably better then waiting to protest after it is introduced. This is because Congress is strongly inclined to pass this bill. The House made it clear on Sept. 28th, by a symbolic, procedural vote of 216-183, and the Senate on Oct. 15th by a vote of 65-33, that Congress supported passage.
