CHICAGO - Avowed white supremacist Matthew Hale was sentenced to 40 years in prison Wednesday for trying to have a federal judge killed — the same judge whose husband and mother were murdered five weeks ago by a deranged man who had no connection to Hale

I completely disagree. I really can't understand how he got 40 years? For what? For speaking openly about his objection to the judge's ruling? For wanting her to die, and speaking about it (Pac, did he openly say he wanted her dead?)? I'm sorry, but the man never attempted to kill her. He was given this sentence apparently for being a racist. While I think racism is completely stupid, I can't believe a person should be conveicted for it, let alone sentenced to 40 years in prison! This reminds me of the way Communists were treated in the 1950s.
