But some of their charges and numbers were a little fuzzy. The CBS News Political Unit sets the record straight.Fact Check 1: RACE Bush said: Well, what the vice president must not understand is we got a hate crimes bill in Texas. Analysis: There has been a hate crimes statute on the books in Texas since 1991. The original law only required counting hate crimes incidents. Then in 1993, the law as amended to add punishments for crimes motivated by bias or prejudice. In addition, first-degree felonies, such as murder, are exempt from the law. On top of that, prosecutors and legal experts say the law is too vague to be properly enforced.

The bill failed as similar measures did in 1995 and 1997. stanley becher Bush said: The thr stanley tazas ee men who murdered James Byrd ... are going to be put to death.
