Who, surprise, surprise, has strong links to liberal, not conservative, groups.

    (AP) WASHINGTON – A man suspected of shooting and wounding a security guard in the lobby of a Christian lobbying group had been volunteering at a community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

    A law enforcement official has identified the suspect arrested in Wednesday’s shooting as Floyd Corkins II of Herndon, Va. Investigators were interviewing his neighbors.

    Another official says the shooter made a negative reference about the work of the Family Research Council before opening fire. The officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

    David Mariner is executive director of The DC Center for the LGBT Community. He says Corkins had been volunteering at the center for about the past 6 months. Mariner describes Corkins as “kind, gentle and unassuming.”

Looks like LGBT now means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Terrorists.

Looks like LGBT now means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Terrorists.

It does look that way doesn't it.
Kind of funny, (not the "ha ha" type ) that while liberals and DHS keep harping on the potential violence of the Tea Party it is almost always the liberals who actually resort to violence in both words and deeds.
You ever hear of Tea Party protests involving murder, rape, drug dealing or vandalism ?
What about the Obama supported OWS ?
Hell, the TEA Party don't even litter, never mind assaulting Cops.
OWS on the other hand had a member photographed taking a shit on a police car.
There's real class for you.

Hmm, if there were no LGBT volunteers, this would not have happened.  Obviously we need to ban LGBT volunteers.

They are shutting right up about this one since they can't possibly twist it to fit their agenda.
Unquestionably liberal guy stopped by some one with a gun ?
That is not at all helpful to the "narrative".

The August 15 shooting of a security guard at the Washington HQ of the Family Research Council didn't spark the same hyperbolic claims from the Old Media establishment that politics is at the root of this violence. The shooter has ties to the gay rights community. No calls for investigations were made, no individual politicians were accused of fostering a "violent atmosphere," and no particular ideology was blamed as the cause of this crime.

Unlike every recent shooting that happened before it, crimes that were immediately blamed on the evil, evil Tea Party, or conservatives, or even Rush Limbaugh, this shooting was treated in a subdued manner by Old Media and was practically ignored by the talking heads of the lefty establishment.

The coverage was downright muted, for certain. It got so absurd that Jonah Goldberg had to come back from vacation to make a post at NRO's The Corner to point out one of the most egregious headlines in the Old Media. It came from the Washington Post whose headline on iPad read, "Police: Suspect disagreed with Family Research Council."

Quipped Goldberg:

    “Disagreed”? The suspect shot someone. “Disagreed”!? Why so bombastic? Why not say that the would-be killer “had a different perspective’

In the Post's coverage, the paper claimed that the shooter "expressed disagreement" with the Family Research Council's political positions as he broke out the firepower. Goldberg is right. This is a absurd as it gets in the Old Media.

Let's contrast the Post's treatment with ABC's Brian Ross who last month immediately went looking for Tea Party members that might have a similar name to the Colorado theater shooter in an attempt to smear Tea Partiers with that crime well before anyone knew a thing about the killer.

Or recall when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot in 2011. Then the Old Media lost its collective mind in a frenzied race to again blame the Tea Party. Of course, it was eventually found out that the murderer in that case had no discernible political ideology, even while citing certain left-wing ideas in his rambling manifesto.

But this week, as an unhinged gay rights activist walks into the pro-traditional family group's HQ and begins to shoot up the place,  suddenly the coverage is quite vague and restrained.

Of course, the pro-traditional family outfit has been called a "hate group" by the extremist, left-wing group The Southern Poverty Law Center. So, with this fact, one has to wonder why the Old Media isn't rushing forward to say that this demonization of the FRC by the SPLC isn't the cause of this violence? After all, the SPLC is engendering hate against the Family Research Council, right? With the Old Media's anti-Tea Party logic, the SPLC caused this violence.

But so far, crickets on that count.

Another extremist that has repeatedly gone for the Tea Party's throat blaming every violent incident on grassroots conservatives is MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Yet on the night of the shooting at the FRC, Matthews decided it wasn't worth even a mention.

Gee, Chris, what happened? You didn't check you emails or watch the day's news on Wednesday?

It all makes you wonder, where's the wild-eyed accusations of who is at fault, Old Media? Or is the fact that since this shooter is a gay rights activist and left-winger it is causing you to suddenly realize that blaming politicians or political parties is not such a great idea after all?

They sure are trying though.
Is this ridiculous or what ?
Check the link to verify it. I could not make up something this asanine

Family Research Council shooting suspect had 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in bag, FBI says

[twyacht]

The shooter at the FRC is charged with "assault with a deadly weapon",.....yet the white supremacist that shot up the Sikh Temple, is referenced with committing a "terrorist act".

But Nidal Hasan, who was shouting Alahu Ahkbar while shooting at Ft. Hood is:

He is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 attack on the Army base, which left him paralyzed. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

and it was just a "workplace related incident"....according to DHS...

See a pattern?

What the hell is "interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition"—a federal offense?

What the hell is "interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition"—a federal offense?

I believe years ago they started making crossing state lines to do non-felony crimes a federal offense so they could get FBI's help with the investigation at the local level.

Murder, for instance, isn't a federal crime, but if they can show the perp crossed a state line to facilitate the commission of the crime, that has been made a felony and give the Feds jurisdiction in the non-federal crime of murder.

It probably is another extension of the Commerce Clause.

They got that law passed in the early 30's so the FBI could go after Dillinger, and the other "motor bandits".
The FBI had already gotten jurisdiction over kidnapping because of the Lindbergh  case.
