No, Carrie, the paranoic right wing "though police" argument has no place in this discussion.
To me, a distinction for a crime motivated by the race, sexual orientation, relgion, etc., is no different from a special distinction for killing a law enforcement officer. There is a henious nature to the crime that is designed to terrorize an entire segment of society.
It transcends crime ... it's terrorism. And it should be treated as such.
