Hate Crime Protection for Pedophiles but No Protection for Military
Posted on May 5, 2009
Democrats want pedophiles to be a protected class under “hate crimes”!
The leader of a pro-family organization says families across the nation need to contact their U.S. senators now to try to derail a legislative plan that already has passed the U.S. House and is being awaited by President Obama – after a Democrat confirmed it would protect “all 547 forms of sexual deviancy or ‘paraphilias’ listed by the American Psychiatric Association.”
WND columnist Janet Porter, who also heads the Faith2Action Christian ministry, today cited S. 909, dubbed the “Pedophile Protection Act,” as an extreme danger to America.
As H.R. 1913, the House version of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act bill, the plan was adopted on a 249-175 vote, but not before several amendments were proposed by Republicans trying to mitigate the impact of the law.
Democratic Sens. Edward Kennedy and Patrick Leahy immediately introduced a matching plan in the U.S. Senate, and activists say a vote in committee could come as early as tomorrow.
The proposal, also called the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act after a Wyoming homosexual who was killed in a horrific robbery and beating in 1998, creates a special class for homosexuals and others with alternative sexual lifestyles and provides them protections against so-called “hate.”
It specifically denies such protections to other targeted classes of citizens such as pastors, Christians, missionaries, veterans and the elderly.
…..Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, then explained what it means, Porter wrote.
There are only 242 crimes where there is actually some – truly – an assault, and we just rejected an amendment to including pedophilia from being a part of this protected class. Do you realize what that means?
If a mother hears that their child has been raped and she slaps the assailant with her purse, she is now gone after as a hate criminal because this is a protected class. There are other protected classes in here. I mean simple exhibitionism. I have female friends who have told me over the years that some guy flashed them, and their immediate reaction was to hit them with their purse. Well now, he’s committed a misdemeanor, she has committed a federal hate crime because the exhibitionism is protected under sexual orientation.
I know my friend said that we have a definition in the law, but there is nothing in this bill that references the definitions in the Hate Crimes Statistical Act…it’s not there. We asked that it be added so we could get a specific definition. It is not there.
And having reviewed cases as an appellate judge, I know that when the legislature has the chance to include a definition and refuses, then what we look at is the plain meaning of those words. The plain meaning of sexual orientation is anything to which someone is orientated. That could include exhibitionism, it could include necrophilia (sexual arousal/activity with a corpse) … it could include Urophilia (sexual arousal associated with urine), voyeurism. You see someone spying on you changing clothes and you hit them, they’ve committed a misdemeanor, you’ve committed a federal felony under this bill. It is so wrong.
Hat tip to Atlas Shrugs who adds:
Who are these people? Good is evil and evil is good. Good luck with that super majority, America.
Call the Senate today and stop this maddness!

Pedophiles Inc. should be put on Extremist list of Lefties who left GOD.
It is frightening when a congresswoman hates our military and that hate is palpable from her tone and body language.
this is supposed to happen in sci fi movies in far off universes not here and now.
This is beneath stop the aclu. That pro-family group is way wrong on this. The APA has not said that sexual orientations and paraphilias are the same thing, so that long list doesn’t apply. Despite being gay, I am opposed to this act for federalism reasons. There is no reason to scare people when there are good arguments to be made.
This is what happens when you put leftwing fanatics in charge of a country! (ò¿ó)
everyone on the right seems to be overlooking the fact that the bill defines sexuality as CONSENSUAL homosexuality or heterosexuality…therefore not protecting pedophilia, which is not consensual
Thank you tom! Finally some sanity. They didn’t vote to protect pedophiles, because pedophiles are not and have never been protected under the bill. But, hey, by all means, abandon all rational thought and fall for the kind of blatant fear-mongering presented by people like Hannity and in this video.
