RUSH: I want you to hear this. June 25th, a week ago, Senate Judiciary Committee, Eric Holder testifying, and this is the question. ‘Jeff Sessions presents a hypothetical where a minister gives a sermon, quotes the Bible about homosexuality and is thereafter attacked…\u2019 You know what the media didn\u2019t pick up yet? Whether liberalism is chosen or whether you\u2019re born with it. Once they get through the fog of the Jackson death, Media Matters will get that to \u2019em. I\u2019m sure they have it. It\u2019s just a matter of it hasn\u2019t penetrated the fog there at the editors\u2019 desks. Anyway, a question, hypothetical. ‘[A] minister gives a sermon, quotes the Bible about homosexuality, is thereafter attacked by a gay activist because of what the minister said about his religious beliefs and what Scripture says about homosexuality.\u2019 Is the minister protected, is what Sessions said. Here\u2019s a portion of the answer, the testimony from Eric Holder.<\/p>\n

HOLDER: Well, the statute would not — would not necessarily cover that. We\u2019re talking about crimes that have a historic basis. Groups who have been targeted for violence as a result of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, that is what this statute tends — is designed to cover. We don\u2019t have the indication that the attack was motivated by a person\u2019s desire to strike at somebody who was in one of these protected groups. That would not be covered by the statute.<\/p>\n

RUSH: In other words: ministers and whites are not covered by the hate crime statute because we\u2019re talking about crimes that have a historic basis, groups who have been targeted for violence as a result of their skin color, sexual orientation. So hate crimes are reserved exclusively for blacks and homosexuals. Everybody else can get to the back of the bus on this one. So if you\u2019re a minister, if you\u2019re white, he didn\u2019t even say — well, sexual orientation, that\u2019s not gender. Not unless you\u2019ve got an addadictomy, and he didn\u2019t talk about that, either. So I guess at the front of the bus are blacks and gays on hate crimes.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just to clarify this, more Eric Holder here from a testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 25th. Senator Tom Coburn asked the attorney general if the Muslim radical who killed army recruiter Pvt. Long committed a hate crime, and here is a portion of Holder\u2019s response. <\/p>\n

HOLDER: There\u2019s a certain element of hate, I suppose. What we\u2019re looking for here in terms of the expansion of the statute are instances where there is a historic basis to see groups of people who are singled out for violence perpetrated against them because of who they are. I don\u2019t know if we have the same historical record to say that members of our military have been targeted in the same way that people who are African-American, Hispanic, people who are Jewish, people who are gay, have been targeted over — over the many years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so the list has been expanded now. The hate crime legislation will apply to African-Americans, Jewish people, gay people, so add Jewish to this, African-American, Jewish and people who are gay. But the military really haven\u2019t been targeted. What in the world is he talking about? Military hasn\u2019t been targeted? Liberals have been targeting the military, hate crimes, for as long as I\u2019ve been alive. Islamofascists have been targeting Americans for decades, doesn\u2019t matter who the Americans are. There you have it. There\u2019s your new attorney general under Obama. It\u2019s DEFCON 1, every day is DEFCON 1. I had a guy say to me, ‘I\u2019ve never seen a summer where the news never stops. The news cycle is just, bam, bam, bam, bam,\u2019 and that\u2019s true. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, the hate crimes legislation, I am happy about one thing. My good friend Mark Levin, I\u2019m comforted he is covered because Mark is Jewish. I don\u2019t know if he has any historical problems here with people hating him attacking him but he\u2019s protected now anyway, thanks to the Obama administration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
