BEHIND THE HEADLINES New Senate chairmen could advance, stall Jewish agenda By Matthew E. Berger
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (JTA) ââ¬â A Republican Senate means Republican committee chairmen, and for many Jewish organizational leaders, a step backward toward more defensive lobbying tactics. Jewish lobbyists say that when the Republicans take control of the full Congress in January, they will need to respond more to legislation they oppose rather than help craft laws that fit with their priorities.
They say they will need to work hard to remove elements of some measures that are seen as too conservative, such as those related to charitable choice, which allows federal funds to religious organizations to provide social services.
And they will work with lawmakers to construct measures that address their agenda, such as hate crimes legislation.

**Hatch has ââ¬Åmade impassioned speechesââ¬Â about the need for hate crimes laws and does not join other conservative Republicans in opposing provisions against discrimination based on sexual orientation, said Michael Lieberman, Washington counsel for the Anti-Defamation League.
But Hatch is a vocal opponent of the bill on the grounds that it takes away states rights and because he fears that rapes and other attacks against women would all be classified as hate crimes, Lieberman said.
ââ¬ÅItââ¬â¢s going to require some creative negotiating with Chairman Hatch,ââ¬Â Lieberman said. ââ¬ÅThere may be a way to move a bill which is attentive to his concerns.ââ¬Â**
Oh, I'm sure you crafty jewboys will cook something up - you always do.
As ever, these conniving swine are concerned with one thing and one thing only: "Is it good for the jews?"

Hatch probably just wants them to soften up the lemmings a little more to cover his ass on this, you know, a couple more Matthew Shepard movies, another MTV hate-crime special, continue doing the bang-up job they've been doing covering up that Carr brothers thing, etc. Then, when a rare White-on-non-White atrocity occurs, give it saturation coverage and hit Whitey with so much guilt he'll be begging for punishment and Orrie won't have any problems at election time. Just another reason why I wouldn't vote for one of these bastards if you held a pistol to my head.
