A Video You Won’t Be Seeing Much Of

On the other hand if the shooter had been a deranged conservative shooting up a Leftist office, this video would be running non-stop for months, with learned commenters pontificating about the inherent violence of conservative ideology.

Family Research Council (FRC) officials released video of federal investigators questioning convicted domestic terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins II, who explained that he attacked the group’s headquarters because the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) identified them as a “hate group” due to their traditional marriage views.

“Southern Poverty Law lists anti-gay groups,” Corkins tells interrogators in the video, which FRC obtained from the FBI. “I found them online, did a little research, went to the website, stuff like that.”

The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reported that Corkins, who pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, said in court that he hoped to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” As Bedard explained, “the shooting occurred after an executive with Chick-Fil-A announced his support for traditional marriage, angering same-sex marriage proponents.”

Go here to The Washington Examiner to read the rest.  It is an article of faith on the Left in this country that conservatives are armed and dangerous, and whenever some violent incident occurs in this nation, Left wing blogs salivate with the hope that the shooter might be a right winger.  There is a psychological term for this:  projection.

The Left’s reaction to these events is deliberate and completely calculated. Its intent is to condition the weak minded majority of sheeple to instantly identify conservatives (particularly social conservatives) with everything evil while the Left perpetrates more evil than one can imagine. I have to hand it to them for their success in pulling off this scam.

It’s an outrage that this story hasn’t received more air time.
