Here's this same guy's editorial in the Dallas Morning News.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...1.462e877.html

Also talks about the ACLU's dithering on this case in the link Indy provided.

Henson covers many of the same points I covered in my post about due process.

This link from the blog tells about the vandalism:

http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news...ry/233093.html

Could this vandalism be considered a hate crime?

would have done this to a minority group? Or Muslims?

Christian bashing is popular these days. Crucifix in a jar or urine is called art. But don't disparage anything Muslim. Don't drop the Koran on the floor while you are guarding a Muslim prisoner.

Hell, don't criticize Pastor Wright. You're a racist even though his hate speech clearly affects his parishoners.

And don't ever, ever round up illegals. You're a racist. Forget that they are lawbreakers.
