From the July 8 edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Glenn Beck Program:

His parents probably gave him the nickname "Dock" after they cut his tail short. He later changed it for show business.
If he really is a doctor, he probably specializes in salivary glands, because he sounds like a drooling fool.
No charge for summing up your post.
They make a living ridiculing the less fortunate and any time someone comes to the defense of the down trodden they're accused of being Nazis.
Hate Crimes legislation protects those who are targeted for things about themselves that they have no control over. Are you trying to equate having a different skin color or sexual orientation to preaching idiocy on the airwaves? The idiots do have the means to stop talking.
Yesssss. We must protect them from the truth. It frightens them so.
Reichwing conservatism to a "T",
When the name calling and lies start flying
Look at the right, that's where it will be!
Looks, not substance, lies, not truth,
Hearing what you want to hear -

death to all those that you fear! :|
Are they now soft on crime? Is it because they don't believe minorities are sometimes singled out in crimes?
Or is it because this law hits a little too close to their core beliefs and their hatred of anything different?
Those were directed at you, shrinkgov.
Of course you do. Why is it that reminds me of, "Segregation is not the issue. We stand here to protect the principle of States Rights"?
... I don't get it.
Well, clearly you're one of those "emos".
Did you hear the way he dripped with contempt when he said "society?" Reminds me of Maggie Thatcher, opining that there is no such thing.
I wonder if DocDoc has ever read the Preamble to the Constitution. Probably not. If he has, I would guess that he considers the whole thing socialist or irrelevant, except for the 2nd Amendment, (which is actually the 11th Commandment, right?)
I will tell you where to find the story:http://latimes.com
This man had been there for a number of years, but was a harmless as a butterfly. The PEOPLE who LIVED there helped him out, when they could.
One night, some person in a car got out, doused him in gasoline, lit him on fire, and drove away.(I believe it was gas, could have been alcohol).
If being a Socialist means that I care about people being safe, not hungry, and being able to get health care that doesn't bankrupt them, then I am a proud Socialist.
Anything else is inhumane.
Sign me up.
A more accurate term is 'bias crime.' And I will now explain what bias crime is, so that perhaps more people will understand it.
A bias crime is one committed against a member of a group specifically because he or she was part of that group. What's missing from bias crime is a personal reason for violence; the victim could be any member (or perceived member) of the group, and all that's required is that they (seem to) belong to that group.
The idea of bias crime exists because bias crime exists. Lynchings, for instance, are bias crimes which mark a violent border along racial difference. Mr. (Dr.?) Thompson gets it backwards: Fascism in the 1930s up through the 1940s in Europe was marked by institutionalized bias crimes against minorities, including Jews, homosexuals, and the disabled. I'm sure we're all familiar with what happened.
Bias crimes legislation *takes away* the tools of the fascist in the US, giving notice to the haters that they can continue to be hateful, but please don't be violent or you'll get a much stiffer penalty.
Oh, wait.... I get it. It's another one of their fabricated outrages, isn't it? I should have known.
