Crosshairs: Left calls FRC ‘hate group’ ; Shooter yelled about ‘values’

http://twitter.com/#!/EWErickson/status/235763625695006720

As Twitchy reported earlier, there was a shooting at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., this morning.

The Left screeches about new tone and civility, and shamelessly, and shamefully, blamed Sarah Palin for shootings due to the use of crosshairs in ads. However, the Family Research Council was actually put in crosshairs.

Have any liberals blamed @SarahPalinUSA or @rushlimbaugh for the #FRC shooting yet? #newtone

It doesn’t. It is left-wing hate, through and through.

Enemies of traditional marriage groups have called the FRC a "hate group" and now a gunman has come and shot the guard there.

— Paul Cooper (@PaulMCooper) August 15, 2012

A “hate group,” because they believe in traditional marriage. The Left has targeted them over and over and fostered a climate of hate.

For those asking what the Family Research Council is — it's a hate group. http://t.co/nbDjBInM

I'm sure @SPLCenter will be reevaluating its violent hate rhetoric in light of the #FRC shooting. Aaaaany minute now….

— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) August 15, 2012

Yes, I want to hear more about FRC from the people who tried to incite hate against it with completely and viciously false posts. Please.

I'm hearing about a shooting this morning at Family Research Council. But they're the hate-group, right? #tcot

Gay rights organization considers the Family Research Council a "hate group." http://t.co/QcsBU6kW

Reports are coming in describing the scene. The shooter screeched about the “hate” values before he began shooting.

FOX finally breaking FRC shooting. Said shooter made cpl statements abt causes FRC supports.

— GlockLady (@GlockLady) August 15, 2012

@DanIsett @GayPatriot FOX just reported that shooter said something about FRC's values before he shot the guard.

BREAKING: A shooting has occurred at the Family Research Council building in DC – suspect was screaming about things FRC supports.

RT @steveegg: MT @hmfearny: Fox is reporting now. "A suspect walked in and started yelling about things they (FRC) supported & opened fire."

Leftists on Twitter weigh in, in vile form.

https://twitter.com/elongreen/status/235763526134804480

fuck The Family Research Council, and it’s hatred and intolerance toward the LGBT community. Maybe they just needed some more Chic-Fil-A..

No H8? So, shooting while muttering about someone’s values is totally loving?

So this is politics in 2012, scanning Twitter and seeing people enjoy news of shootings at the offices of organizations they disagree with.

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 15, 2012

FRC shooting is another reminder that the #NOH8 crowd isn't against hate at all — they just want you to hate different people.

Bingo.

This was posted 18 hrs ago. –> Paul Ryan is a confirmed participant at hate group's [FRC] annual conference http://t.co/JEmTBiaJ via @HRC

@EWErickson If it turns out to be a lefty shooter, MSM will say they were "driven mad by FRC hate rhetoric" #blamethevictim

— Charlie Shield (@CharlieShield) August 15, 2012

SPLC (the most agregious hate group in the USA) has listed FRC. Their list is the equivilent of a hit list. More to come #Ccot #tcot #NOH8

— P Flynn Anderson (@pkfanderson) August 15, 2012

Reprehensible.

https://twitter.com/paytondrake/status/235776831956078592

Yes. Then why does the Left keep inciting hate?

Update: They continue inciting and fostering hate.

Just because FRC is a hate group is no reason to say FRC is a hate group.

— Kaili Joy Gray (@KailiJoy) August 15, 2012

And fake sympathy from the Left: Smug lefty self-back-patting, but qualified with “you totally had it coming.”

The left has piss poor values and they are proving it by tweeting #FRC is a hate group instead of prayers for #FRC

— Justen Charters (@JustenCharters) August 15, 2012

And while Family Research Council's politics are disgusting, it's still not okay to shoot a guard there.

— Kelly Hager (@khager) August 15, 2012

Dear FRC: my thoughts are with you. Just don't say the things you do about your fellow Americans and expect not to be called a hate group.

— Tom Doran (@portraitinflesh) August 15, 2012

If shooter who injured security guard did it to terrorize pro-homophobia community, it IS domestic terrorism. The FRC IS STILL a hate group.

RT @jeffemanuel The same @FRC you *yesterday* called a "Hate Group" MT @HRC Our hearts go out @FRC, victim and family.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 15, 2012

More who can’t express sympathy without furthering the incitement of hate by calling FRC a “hate group.”

Whether they're a hate group or not I'm praying for him. Guard is shot in the arm at Family Research Council building http://t.co/rq6DVLS8

— kimberly s kuehl (@unicornpinata) August 15, 2012

Before anyone tries to blame The Left for the tragedy at #FRC, and speak of the unfair description as a hate group, there's reason for that.

— Carlos Manuel Pmente (@cpimentel986) August 15, 2012

Prayers for #FRC! Such hatred is never tolerated, be it a liberal or a conservative. Exchanging hate for hate, accomplishes nothing

— Jo (@mrJoMangles) August 15, 2012

And, repugnant:

Surprised someone went shooting up FRC? Nope. Hate begats hate. #certifedhategroup

— Brandon Shire (@TheBrandonShire) August 15, 2012

@michellemalkin How much empathy would Cons show if Black Panther Sec guard got shot in arm? He didn't die. He got shot in arm 4 godsake

— Josef K. (@apls452) August 15, 2012

The moral bankruptcy, it scorches.

Update: They keep exposing themselves for the morally bankrupt cretins they are.

@Dloesch FUCK the FRC and fuck you!

— Gianni Virgocci (@VirgoJohnny) August 15, 2012

Family Research Council …who knows maybe the hated are starting to hate back …look out TBAGGERS

— GEOFFREY (@jeffreynola) August 15, 2012

Update: Shooter, identified as Floyd Corkins, was reportedly volunteering at an LGBT organization. Is that where he learned about the FRC “values” that he was screeching about? Was he taught that they are a “hate group”?

Good move, dumbass. “@AP: More on Family Research Council shooting: Police identify suspect as Floyd Corkins II: http://t.co/olTyuOyl -SC”
