Liberal Gunman Shoots Security Guard Inside Christian Lobbying Group

CBSNews.com:

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."

While police have not yet stated what motivated Corkins, a coalition of 25 gay rights groups released a statement through GLAAD condemning the shooting. 

"The motivation and circumstances behind today's tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence. We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident," the statement read.

The guard, who was an employee of the FRC, was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

"Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today," the group's president, Tony Perkins, said in a statement.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said in a statement that he was appalled by the shooting.

"There is no place for such violence in our society," he said. "My prayers go out to the wounded security guard and his family, as well as all the people at the Family Research Council whose sense of security has been shattered by today's horrific events."

The headquarters of the Family Research Council is in the city's bustling Chinatown neighborhood, near the Verizon Center, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and several museums, restaurants and shops.

Amy Biondi and her husband Steve were visiting Washington from Long Island with their daughter and a friend and tried to ask officers for help with a parking meter when they were told there was a situation they had to deal with. The door to the FRC was opened, and an officer repeatedly shouted, "Put the gun down, put the gun down."

"Next thing you know there are police officers swarming the area," said Biondi, 45, a massage therapist from St. James, N.Y.

The family didn't get a close look, but they said the man officers were talking to seemed to comply with the orders immediately.

The Family Research Council advocates conservative positions on social issues and strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion.

Perkins was an outspoken defender of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's public stand against same-sex marriage, which made the fast-food chain a flashpoint in the nation's culture wars. The Cathy family foundation has funded the Family Research Council.

"He's taking a bold stand," Perkins said after Cathy's comments were reported. "Chick-fil-A is a Bible-based, Christian-based business who treats their employees well.

They have been attacked in the past about their stand. But they refuse to budge on this matter, and I commend them for what they are doing."

Two points: This will not get the attention from the liberal press that it would if the situation was reversed: conservative shoots someone inside liberal organization. Second, blame this on the current divisive and hateful climate created by Barack Obama.

Tea Party Fires Back At Maxine Waters, Call Democrats Hypocrites On Civility

LATimesblog.com:

A "tea party" group has fired back at Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), who during a Saturday forum for unemployed people in Inglewood said "the 'tea party' can go straight to hell."


The event occurred a day after new statistics were released showing that California's jobless rate last month went up to 12%, from 11.8%. California now has the second-highest rate of unemployment in the nation, trailing only Nevada at 12.9%, and its jobless rate is well above the U.S. average of 9.1%.


More than 1,000 people attended "Kitchen Table Summit," which was designed to give the jobless an opportunity to vent to elected officials and share their struggles about finding a job.


Waters criticized Republicans in Congress, saying: "I'm not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the 'tea party' can go straight to hell."


Waters told the crowd about job fairs the Congressional Black Caucus is organizing nationwide, including one such event scheduled for Aug. 31 in Los Angeles. She encouraged residents to continue their push to make government get big businesses' help to fix the problem.

"You got to stand with me to fight this," Waters said.


One tea party group took issue with Waters in a statement released Monday.
"We’ve had Democrats calling American citizens ‘terrorists’ and ‘hostage takers,’ and now an elected Democratic representative says that we can ‘go straight to hell,’” the group Tea Party Patriots said, according to the Washington Post. “... Is civility only required from their opponents? Perhaps it’s time for a new-NEW era of civility. ... The president’s silence on these latest violations of civility has been deafening, but not surprising.”

Just when you commend a well-known black liberal like Waters finally speaking out on the fact that Barry ignores his black electorate and his liberal policies have made things worse for blacks in America, she goes back to being the crazy, old witch that conservatives have long known her to be. No doubt Barry will have little to nothing to say about this diabolical rant.

Liberals Angry At Laura Ingraham For Daring To Criticize Woman Beater Chris Brown

For Hip Hop News & Entertainment at DimeWars.Com

MTV.com:

After R&B crooner Chris Brown made an appearance in front of a reported 18,000 fans on NBC morning program The Today show as part of its Summer Concert Series this past Friday (July 15), rival network FOX News was critical of the station and singer based on Brown’s 2009 domestic dispute with then-girlfriend pop songstress Rihanna.


Over the weekend, FOX host Laura Ingraham in a clip offered quips on Brown’s turbulent past and saying that Americans were “disgusted” by his actions while criticizing his top billing on morning show's stages. Chris Brown tweeted angrily in response to the report over the weekend.


“People really should grow up sometimes! I guess the next story they make up will say "chris brown paid the fans to come! #stopit5 hahaha..,” tweeted Brown on Saturday (July 16). He followed up that post with, “Running bogus and pointless stories don't matter! My fans prove that everyday and the haters just look old as F**k !”


Brown fired off a few more tweets before thanking his followers on Twitter for supporting him and giving a shout out to his “Team Breezy” fans. It now appears that 50 Cent is also part of the team as well after firing off a supportive tweet of his own late Sunday evening.


“I just saw a clip on FOX news Hating on NBC for having chris brown on unbelievable. I'm never watching that again. He paid for his mistake #!@%*# holes,” tweeted 50 Cent. Brown responded to 50 a bit later with, “don't worry bro.. They mad because of the level of real people who live in this world. Not to mention their ratings probably sucked.”


Neither star has addressed FOX News since last night regarding the airing of the clip.

Conservatives are well aware that black liberals will believe anything they see and read from the mostly white and Leftist, lamestream press. And as they're want to do Black liberals will also support Democrats politicians regardless of the fact that they take them for granted or that over the years liberal theology (i.e. socialism or "blame the man") has only made life worse for Blacks as a whole.

Now conservative pundit Laura Ingraham does a report on why NBC would allow noted woman-beater and misogynist Chris Brown to perform on "The Today Show" and Brown and black liberals are angry at Ingraham for "not letting it go".

Of course, some of this reaction to Ingraham comes from black liberals having long been trained by the white, mainstream press to hate FOX News. But as the FOX story notes, some of it also comes from sheer and utter devotion to Brown, regardless of the fact that he beat up a famous black woman senseless and seemingly remains clueless about the ramifications of such actions judging from a handful of frightful incidents that've happened since he beat Rihanna to a pulp. Yet somehow, it's Ingraham who is the bad guy here for coming down hard on a woman beater.

Tucson Shooting Survivor Arrested for Issuing Death Threat to Tea Partier at ABC Town Hall

Audio of Eric Fuller’s previous comments on Beck, Palin, and the Tea Party below:



Mediaite.com:

Merely a week after a crazed gunman shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in the head and left several others dead and wounded at a local political event, a Tea Party spokesman in the same area received a public death threat at a town hall meeting– from one of Jared Loughner’s victims.


Local station KGUN is reporting that Eric Fuller a 63-year-old military veteran who was shot in the back last Saturday while attending Rep. Giffords’ “Congress on Your Corner” event, became enraged by the statements of some of the participants at the town hall events and threatened the life of Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries. This is how the scene is believed to have played out:


Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.


According to sheriff’s deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, “You’re Dead.”


Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.


Fuller is being charged with threats, intimidation, and disorderly conduct according to authorities. He has been profiled by CBS and has publicly blamed Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Sharron Angle for inciting the violence that caused the events of last Saturday. The town hall meeting is scheduled to be aired tomorrow on ABC– whether this incident will make it to broadcast is yet to be seen, though, oddly, ABC News has yet to report on this incident.

You reap what you sow.

CNN Airs Video Of Shootout At Florida School Board Meeting (Warning: Graphic), Clay Duke Linked To Liberal Website Media Matters

Mediaite.com:

An extremely disturbing video is hitting the airwaves showing a man named Clay Duke opening fire on a school board meeting in Florida earlier today. Duke, apparently upset over the firing of his wife, later fatally shot himself.


Anderson Cooper reported on the incident on CNN, and showed video of Duke spray-painting a red “V” with a circle around it (think the movie V For Vendetta) before telling several people in the room to leave. At one point, a woman tries to knock the gun out of Duke’s hand, but is unsuccessful. Superintendent Bill Husfelt pleads with Duke to let it go, and then Duke fires several shots. Duke is then shot by Mike Jones, a security officer for the school district (Jones was off-camera). An absolutely surreal scene.


Also disturbing, arguably, is CNN’s exploitative handling of the video. They take pains to repeatedly warn viewers how graphic and upsetting the images will be, but wait until after they’ve played the video (twice, once in slow motion) to telll viewers that all of the assailant’s shots missed. This seems to confirm the rather obvious fact that “Graphic footage!” warnings are about gluing eyeballs, not shielding them.

Major props to that lady, Ginger Littleton, who tried to knock the gun out of that crazy guy's hands with her purse--that took some major cojones.

Liberal Woman Threatens Conservative Radio Talk Show Host Joyce Kaufman

This kind of stuff happens when you listen to MSNBC too much:

Federal agents arrested a 48-year-old Pasco County woman in connection to a threat that locked down Broward County schools earlier this month and prompted a top aide to step down from a congressman-elect's office.

Ellisa Martinez of New Port Richey surrendered late Tuesday to FBI agents near Los Angeles. She is accused of sending an e-mail on Nov. 10 to South Florida conservative radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman, who was tapped to be U.S. Rep.-elect Allen West's chief of staff.

The e-mail praised Kaufman for encouraging people to "exercise our Second Amendment rights" and said "something big" would happen at a government building in Broward County, maybe a school.

"We'll end this year of 2010 in a blaze of glory for sure," the e-mail said, according to federal investigators.

The following morning, a woman called the radio station, WFTL 850 AM in South Florida, and reported her husband had sent the threatening e-mail. The woman added that her husband was going to a school in Pembroke Pines to carry out a shooting and asked the station to broadcast a plea to her husband to not do it.

Democrat Senator Mark Warner Says Far-Left MoveOn Group "Doesn't Compromise"

It's something Jon Stewart bravely pointed out (to the ire of many of the Left) at his recent "Rally To Restore the Sanity" rally, to the ire of many on the Left: the extreme wings in both parties constantly engage in bitter and hateful fearmonegring that does nothing to benefit the lives of Americans as a whole, each refusing to compromise...yet, it's always the Left that refuses to own up to their thuggery. Wonder why.

A Reminder Why Alan Grayson Needs To Go

HotAir.com:

Now that Florida has selected its general-election candidates, the NRCC wants people to remember why Alan Grayson needs to be retired. It’s not just because he has voted in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi to impose a radical agenda that has deconstructed any hope for a real economic recovery. It’s that he has made himself into a buffoon in doing so. Florida’s 8th Congressional District deserves better:

How did Grayson get elected in the first place in an R+2 district? Barack Obama won 52% of the vote in 2008 (Bush had won by 11 points in 2004), and the resulting wave produced the exact same level of support for Grayson. One might think that this kind of victory would have Grayson acting a lot more moderate and, well, sane. However, as we have seen repeatedly in his freshman term in the House, Grayson has gone full bore into hard-Left lunacy, so much so that even his appearances on friendly media outlets proved tiresome for his hosts, as the last scene shows in the video.


Daniel Webster won the GOP nomination. It won’t take much more than simple replays of Grayson’s videotaped nuttiness to define the incumbent as ripe for retirement.

WaPo Columnist Ruth Marcus Calls Left, Blogosphere ‘Deranged’

I would have to agree:

During an appearance on Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie’s Daily Rundown, Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus may have one-upped Robert Gibbs‘ “Professional Left” comments. Having already written a column agreeing with Gibbs, she told Chuck, Savannah, and Anita Dunn that the left and the blogosphere are “deranged.”


I was all set to agree with her, until I found out she wasn’t talking about their berserk reaction to Gibbs’ comments, but rather, their high expectations of President Obama and the Democrats.

While it is true that a great many liberals have too-high expectations of President Obama, and little patience, the example that Marcus cites is the worst one possible. On health care, the left has an indisputably valid point. In her column, Marcus wrote “Can these people count to 60?”

As a matter of fact, we can, but apparently, the Democrats can’t. Instead of pressing the advantage while they had that filibuster-proof Senate majority, President Obama went on a pointless consensus-building exercise that resulted in a weaker law that barely passed after Scott Brown upended that 60-seat majority.

It’s a bit of a cliche´, but the truth lies somewhere in the middle. There are many on the left for whom pragmatism is a dirty word, and Gibbs was right to throw cold water on comparisons to Bush. But it’s not a hippie acid trip to think that the Dems could have gotten a stronger health care bill had they, themselves, bothered to count to 60 while they still could.

Like Rosie O'Donnell, Pentagon Shooter John Bedell Was A Democrat And 9/11 Truther

No doubt Bedell's radically Leftist past will get little attention (or in this case spun) from the liberal media. But facts are facts, just own it already.

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer Claims Heavy Snowfall Proves Global Warming

The dimwitted, liberal propaganda at MSNBC has no boundaries. Wonder why liberals are always accused of being such arrogant pricks. Brewer, a news anchor with no background in meteorology, dismisses the argument of a weatherman, yunno, a guy whose paid to talk about the ummm....weather. Amazing.

D-List Actress Janeane Garafalo Equats Any Criticism Of Obama With Being "RACIST!"

Gotta love it when white liberals use the race card:

Left-wing activist/actress Janeane Garofalo, now starring on Fox's '24', went on a wild rant Thursday night, on MSNBC's Countdown, impugning those who attended the Wednesday tea parties as racists and denigrating the brain power of anyone who watches the Fox News Channel. (In his Thursday night post, “Garofalo: Tea Party Goers Are Racists Who Hate Black President,” Noel Sheppard provided an embedded video of the entire segment with Keith Olbermann as well as a full transcript.)

Here, however, is an edited video (matching MP3 audio), just over two-minutes in length, of her most-outrageous smears uttered on the April 16 program.

“This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism, straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks. And there is no way around that,” she scurrilously charged. After comparing conservatives to “white power activists,” she continued: “This is about racism. It could be any issue, any port in a storm. These guys hate that a black guy is in the White House.”

Any wonder this chick has never made it in Hollyweird: she's certifiably nuts. Even more hilarious are nutjobs like Olbermann who give this lunatic a platform to perform her rants--any wonder why O'Reilly continues to kill Krazy Keith in the ratings.

Liberals Holler "Kill The Police" At San Francisco Anti-War Rally

Liberal Blog, TalkLeft, Feels Sorry For Bernard Madoff

As stated my Jeralyn Merritt, the chick who runs far-Left blog TalkLeft:

I started the day at 4:30 am, waking up concerned about Bernie Madoff (regardless of what he did, he's 70 years old, non-violent and doesn't belong at an MCC for months pending sentencing. Bail is not meant as punishment, only to secure one's appearance at the next court proceeding.)

Hey, I admit to reading liberal blogs, as someone once told me: you gotta be aware of the lies before you can know the truth. Plus, a couple I read are pretty funny. But channeling your inner compassion for a man who ruthlessly victimized hundreds of innocent people for over 20 years, leading some to commit suicide, most of whom will never get their money back, is just downright insane. To think, Bernard Madoff didn't quit his schemes because he suddenly gained compassion, he stopped because he got caught. God, get a clue already.

Alec Baldwin Disses Reagan Republicans

Newsbusters:

"30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin jumped on the anti-Rush Limbaugh bandwagon Friday calling the conservative talk radio host "an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict."

He also took a cheap shot at one of America's most-beloved presidents referring to Reagan Republicans as "the bulls***t...wing of the party."

Such vitriol was included in a Huffington Post article entitled "Hoping the GOP Gets Its Act Together" (h/t NBer Rush Fan, vulgarity warning):

This comes from a narcissistic guy who once berated his own 11yo daughter on the phone, lied about Matt Drudge being gay and coming on to him and whose film career has become so lame, it's now nonexistent. Talk about pot meeting kettle.

Global Warming Activists Frozen Out By Massive Snowfall

This is just too funny:

Global warming activists stormed Washington Monday for what was billed as the nation's largest act of civil disobedience to fight climate change -- only to see the nation's capital virtually shut down by a major winter storm.

Schools and businesses were shuttered, lawmakers cancelled numerous appearances and the city came to a virtual standstill as Washington was blasted with its heaviest snowfall of the winter.

It spelled about six inches of trouble for global warming activists who had hoped to swarm the Capitol by the thousands in an effort to force the government to close the Capitol Power Plant, which heats and cools a number of government buildings, including the Supreme Court and the Capitol.

The snowy scene, with temperatures in the mid-20s, was reminiscent of a day in January 2004, when Al Gore made a major address on global warming in New York -- on one of the coldest days in the city's history.

Protest organizers said about 2,500 people braved the blizzard to oppose greenhouse gas emissions, but the shroud of snow wasn't the only wet blanket in the nation's capital Monday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called on the architect of the Capitol to stop burning coal at the power plant last week, cancelled her appearance at the rally because her flight to Washington was cancelled.

Michelle Obama canned a public "Read Across America" event and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan canceled a meeting with the Democratic Caucus because the members of Congress couldn't get to D.C. An honor cordon at the Pentagon for Afghanistan's defense minister also had to be called off.

Some protesters couldn't make it as dozens of flights in the area were delayed or called off, and some couldn't face the dangerous roads or blustery weather, leaving hundreds safe, if sorry, back at home.

Idiots.

College Loon Arrested After Rushing Ann Coulter Stage

Ewing Police arrest student at Ann Coulter lecture

MSNBC.com:

The entangled arrest of a College of New Jersey student is captured by amateur video.

According to Alex Zdan and James Queally of nj.com, amateur video of a local college student being arrested does not show any evidence of police brutality, despite the student's claim of "blatantly excessive force."

The video, obtained Wednesday by The Times, shows College of New Jersey student Michael Tracey on the ground and screaming as officers attempt to arrest him following a speech by political commentator Ann Coulter last week.

The partial video does not show Tracey being wrestled to the ground.

No violence is evident and Tracey is not struck in the footage, which begins with him already on the ground and officers kneeling over him.

Insane. But then loons like Michael Tracy are now the face of the Left.

It's just funny how FAILED left-wing pundits just can't contain their hate for Rush Limbaugh. His continued SUCCESS just riles them, so much so that the new liberal mantra is to anoint Limbaugh as the new "leader of the Right," in turn making Limbaugh even more POPULAR than he already is. Wow, those liberals are such geniuses!!!
