Here we have a person, a volunteer at a gay center, that intended to kill people at the FRC building who was obviously influenced by the heated rhetoric from the left, including Mayors Rahm Emmanuel and Tom Menino and including the Southern Poverty Law Center over Dan Cathy's comments supporting traditional marriage. There's been very little coverage on the FRC shooting from the liberal news media because it draws negative attention to a liberal platform that they support.....
Figuring out what beliefs motivated this guy could be important--helpful in predicting if/when it could happen again, identifying potential targets in order to better protect them, looking for "red flags" that could help identify similar offenders in the future, etc.
ABC's Brian Ross was too quick to suggest that a Tea Party adherent was responsible for the Auroa shooting before he had to retract and apologize......

Chris Matthews suggested a link of Palin and Bachman to the shooting of Giffords....

Bullshit. There is a saying in media and even FUCKS NEWS competes for this saying "If it bleeds it leads". They will use death for ratings like any media. When soldiers die when Bush is was in office, FUCKS NEWS use it for "PROUD TO BE AN MER CAN". When soldiers die under Obama they say "WHY ARE WE STILL THERE".
If this guy had killed 13 or 29 people instead of just injuring I security guard, this would be news and Rush and Hanity would use to defend the NRA. The reason it did not make news, would be the same if the Arorah shooter had only clipped a ticket taker and got talken right after that and no one died. It would have remained local.
Tons of people are murdered outside mass shootings in domestic crime and gang violence EVERY DAY.
The reason this did not compete with Va Tec or Arorah was numbers. No one died.
