I didn't make any claims about why this guy shot up the FRC. My own personal suspicion is that this guy's liberalism was mostly irrelevant. I don't equate gay rights with liberalism (there are non-liberals who argue for gay rights). An extremist who was a gay rights proponent but a libertarian might take similar action, for example.
The only way I can see the shooter's liberalism being involved is in which sources he listened to; if he's a liberal, he'd generally pay attention to liberal sources and generally oppose things liberals oppose. I doubt he'd have shot up the FRC if he didn't hate them.
Your second bit is completely your own invention. I have no idea where you're getting this--some liberal firebrand whipping up an armed rebellion? Huh?

...uh, isn't the issue precisely "the actions of the loonies"? Isn't that the issue we're talking about here??
