Imagine, if you will, the uproar had Hillary Clinton been "hanging around" West Hollywood....
"Hillary Victim of Hate Crime!!"
What would Keith Olbermann say? OMG!!!!
Here is what Hillary would say:
More funding and stricter sentencing for hate crimes.
Clinton co-sponsored the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act:
Title: To provide Federal assistance to States and local jurisdictions to prosecute hate crimes.
Summary:
Provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or other assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any violent crime that is motivated by prejudice based on the race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability of the victim or is a violation of hate crime laws.
Award grants to assist State and local law enforcement officials with extraordinary expenses for interstate hate crimes.
Award grants to State and local programs designed to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles.
Prohibit specified offenses involving actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
Increase criminal sentencing for adult recruitment of juveniles to commit hate crimes.
Collect and publish data about crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on gender.

Actually, last night Keith named the person who hung Palin in effigy one of the 'Worst Persons In The World' for the evening and went on to condemn the act as hateful. One would think a 'Christian' would look before throwing stones.
