When I read Ross’ post about the shooting at the Family Research Council HQ, I was glad to learn no one had been killed and that the guard who had been shot in the arm helped subdue the assailant to the ground.
As Ross notes, Fox News is reporting that a source told them the suspect “made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard.” But according to this AP story, the suspect hasn’t been interviewed and a FBI official stated, “We don’t know enough yet about him…or mentally what he’s thinking.”
So at this point we don’t know all the details. Conclusions can be drawn at a later time.
Well, there is one conclusion I can draw. Had such a shooting taken place at the headquarters of GLAAD, the liberal media would be in hour five of a week long exposition on right-wing, homophobic violence.

The kids over a Daily Kos are very sad right now.

well, of course they're sad...after all, this LGBT activist never got to his intended targets

Whoever it was, they were FUELED BY HATE...too much Chick-Fil-A
spike59| 8.16.12 @ 5:54AM
it was NoVa resident Floyd Corkins II, who worked as a volunteer at the DC Center for the LGBT Community...so yeah, I'm guessing he was "FUELED BY HATE"...

This would be a Hate Crime if perpetrated against say ACORN or some such. Remember, "dissent is the highest form of Patriotism".

It seems like the left has really lowered the bar on what constitutes hate and bigotry. Back in the day, you had to actually, you know, hate people, and maybe even oppress them for good measure. Now all you need to do is fail to offer your full-throated support for gay marriage and you’re the moral equivalent of Bull Connor (which party did he belong to again?). Bigotry just ain’t what it used to be:
