WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Police in Washington are investigating an attack on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s intern that is believed to be a hate crime.
WTOP radio reported that the young man was attacked after leaving a nightclub early Sunday morning.
Police said the attacker used a derogatory term describing homosexuals before beating the man and sending him to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
"This has got to be a city where intolerance is not tolerated," said Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty of the attack. "You never want to think, especially in the nation's capital, that somebody could be targeted for a crime based on their sexual preference, their race, their age, anything."

So much for the 50th Anniversary for the civil rights act. We see current events of the Jena 6, the three boys beaten one drown in Florida, intern attack and more. No wonder the Iran President spoke up about the US lack of human rights. We gave him headlines to prove it.
