Reports tonight of a movie shooting in Lafayette Louisiana

SummerMadness said:

This thread is hilarious. The people going out of their way to say the shooter was not a Tea Partier are only doing so because they spend so much time associating ideology with violence and other groups (e.g., terrorism and Islam). The mere idea of them being a Muslim is enough for them to an indict an entire religion. Now we have a Tea Partier murdering people; instead of using the same arguments they did toward Muslims, they are trying to deny his political ideology. The hypocrisy is sickening and sad, but then again, this is nothing new. But when looking at such hypocrisy and distortion of truth, all you can do is laugh. Carry on.

sounds like Westboro baptist is inspiring more than protests. If they aren't already, maybe they should be under the watchful eye of the FBI.

Noting that Westboro Baptist is not affiliated with the TEA party.

What you do, see, is just grab whatever vaguely threatening sounding ideology or group and play 6 degrees of separation. Thus we can have commie-NAZIs, Homo-fascists, Muslim-athiests, you name it!

The perpetrator had a virtually unused profile on a TEA Party website, among other pro-Muslim and pro-Hitler websites, and thus the last five pages or so of this thread are mostly some flailing their arms shouting "Obviously right wing terrorism!" and mocking of people who say "Slow down, authorities don't have a motive yet".

Considering he is inspired by a radical "right wing church". I can see why people are connecting the dots. Of course, I don't really think Westboro baptist is politically aligned to anybody because I am sure they hate all political parties and view them all as evil spawns of Satan.

Curiously, John Russell Houser also supports radical Islamism.

Louisiana Theater Shooter Praised Fundamentalist Muslims, Signed Up On Tea Party Page, And Quoted Hitler | Daily Caller

“Yes it’s true, Muslims are alone in shutting down liberals that mock their God. They have my complete Christian respect.”

“I’m with all who hate the filth farm known as the US,” he wrote in another post entitled “Islamists and ‘the right to offend.'”​
