“While many proponents of hate crimes legislation argue that it would only be used to prosecute violent crimes against homosexuals, Christians and others who merely speak against the homosexual lifestyle could be targeted under such a federal law.” ....

.... but he KNOWS this is not the case….the bill makes specific provisions and HE KNOWS and the SBC KNOWS it…

Richard Land is well read, articulate, educated, politically connected and informed about the scope, the language, the provisions and the exact nature of the bill…

so it leaves one to wonder…why would a man of such high moral caliber speak in this calculated misleading deceptive manner?  What does Richard Land have against gays?
