Climate of Fear Part 33
Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele has repeatedly been the victims of crimes because of his race and political beliefs. He is a black Republican. Because of this he has been the victim of assault while speaking at a university. That particular assault could probably be considered a hate crime because it is obvious that it was racially motivated. While I am not a big fan of hate crime laws, if we have them they need to be used equally.
The most well known crime committed against Lt. Gov. Steele was when the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fraudulently obtained his credit report. The Washington Times writes:
Two members of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have resigned after admitting they obtained Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele's credit report. Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), said the two staffers told committee officials in July what they had done.
