I didn't say that mainstream Progressive or LGBT ideology condones violence. But obviously some extremist ones do--just as extremist Christian ideologies condone the killing of doctors who perform abortions, while mainstream Christian ideologies do not.
I don't know if there is a radio firebrand out there seriously telling people to take up arms and attack religious "oppressors". I doubt it, and if there is one, he probably doesn't have a very large audience.

The guy said that he shot the place up because of what FRC stands for. That indicates that part of his motivation were his LBGT ideology. Now, clearly this alone wasn't sufficient motivation, or we'd see far more LBGT ideologues carrying out similar attacks. But his LBGT together with some batshit crazy extremism results in shooting up FRC.
Just like Christianity together with some batshit crazy extremism results in shooting doctors who perform abortions.

The issue I'm talking about is "Gunman attacks conservative Christian group". What issue are you talking about?

Because he's a fucking asshole extremist. If he were conservative, he'd have shot up a different place.
