WND Is STILL Lying About Hate-Crimes Bill
Topic: WorldNetDaily

In a Feb. 2 WorldNetDaily article about a lawsuit filed by right-wing pastors against expanding hate-crimes protection to gays, Bob Unruh throws in this line:

The Hate Crimes Act was dubbed by its critics as the "Pedophile Protection Act," after an amendment to explicitly prohibit pedophiles from being protected by the act was defeated by majority Democrats. In fact, during congressional debate, supporters argued that all "philias," or alternative sexual lifestyles, should be protected.

As we've repeatedly detailed whenever WND makes this assertion, the law does not protect pedophilia, since such protection is already banned under federal law.

But Unruh is not interested in truth, nor is he interested in fair reporting -- he permits no one to respond to the right-wing lawsuit.
