Answer 2

One of the worst "hate crimes" is the unspeakable crimes that George W. Bush has perpetrated upon the Iraqi people, all because of his family's personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein. George H.W. Bush was criticized, ridiculed and humiliated for not "finishing the job" and ousting Hussein from power during Desert Storm. So the son had to be elected president - at any cost (including rigging an election - or two);
and there had to be an event (such as 9-11-01) to stir emotion in the American people, which would allow Bush to unconstitutionally and illegally invade Iraq;
and there had to be a plausible excuse for invading a sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the U.S.A. ("weapons of mass destruction").
The Bush family "hate crimes" have killed 675,000 innocent Iraqis, 3,000 occupants of the World Trade Center's twin towers on 9-11-01, and 3,218 U.S. soldiers (so far). THAT is a hate crime at its worst. -RKO-
