TN church shooter: 'Know This If Nothing Else: This Was A Hate Crime'
His entire "manifesto" is available as a pdf online - all 4 pages, absolutely every bit of vileness and hate that and endless diet of Rush and Hannity would be expected to produce.

the next to last paragraph says so much:


http://web.knoxnews.com/pdf/021009church-manifesto.pdf

"I thought I'd do something good for this Country Kill Democrats til the cops kill me....Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is to kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather. I'd like to encourage other like minded people to do what I've done. If life aint worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. do something for your Country before you go. Go Kill Liberals.


And sadly, everything that he complains about in there as being the liberals fault was bought about by his lying Republican propagandists.

1. Wow...sick fucker...
These already marginally sick people listen to the hate spewn by rush and the rest and are pumped up to go out and do something about it.

Remember when rap music was blamed for every crime, and they were taken to task in the media for it? The same needs to happen here.

would mention that - but music and video games will make our kids into savage killers so they need to be rated and parental controlled

8. That letter included every last point including the racist and

homophobic language the rethugs spew. If we can blame video games and music, we can certainly blame the hate mongers filling the air waves with this kind of crap.

3. Don't forget Savage and Coulter.
This is a completely predictable, natural byproduct of the shit they've been spewing for years.

5. Here's a sensible gun control law:
No gun sales unless you can demonstrate proper usage of the word "lose" vs. "loose" in a sentence; in my experience, that would eliminate a large portion of the American populace, and certainly most of the people dumb enough to fall for this RW hate radio garbage.

7. I think I'll link that on the local radio wingnuts website.
It sounds just like the stuff they spew daily - and, since I live in Knoxville, I'm betting this guy used to call their show frequently.

9. See that's why I'm glad I have my guns. These fuckers are going
to be coming out of the wood work for the next 8 years. Someone wants to gun me down because I'm a Democrat they better be a better shot than me. I won't be as nice as the people in that church who just subdued him, the cops would be there to call the coroner and wright a report.

10. Couldn't pull himself up by his bootstraps? And it's evil liberals' fault?
So he kills innocent people, because he's a brain washed loser? The republican party should be so proud. :puke:

12. Sweet jeebus, that is really terrifying
What is even scarier is that Hannity or Limbaugh could have written it word for word, though maybe with better spelling.

The simple truth is that the most bent arrows walking around out there are these reichwingers.

14. UU is the epitomy of open minded reasonableness.
It is a hate crime, and the media swept that under the rug from the get go.

16. The media has a narrative to provide us and nothing will get in their way.
They have sheep to protect.
