Conservatives are claiming this isn't a "hate crime".

1. Ok, then it is Terrorism.

And this is a WMD:

Paging Homeland Security...

7. Fox News......

Fox News says we need to look into his electronic postings. Could be drugs or "something that was said in church just before he started shooting." Blaming the victims already!

2. It's also a terrorist assassination because the murdered pastor was also a state senator

If Storm's most recent address is correct, then it was a two hour drive to that church, the Charleston area is filled with churches, and that particular church does not show up in the front page if one searches for it, and there are churches of the same denomination that are even closer (With such one church being only about 30 minutes away).

3. So sad

What a waste of life on this POS.

4. Conservatism is a hate crime.

Just look at what they're trying to do to the American people counting on Obamacare.

6. Conservatives use hate to motivate....

That's why they freak out over the term "hate crime" because they fear what they do could be outlawed.

And it should be.

8. Foxnews sympathizes with the murderer.

The GOP probably calls him a hero under their breath in public.

11. FOX"News" took down their comments because it became embarrassing....

Newsmax still has their's:

There are posters denying he was white, claiming he was a she that had been raped, claiming he should have gone after politicians in DC because the REAL rape is paying taxes, posts claiming he should have gone after Mexicans....

Nothing about self reflection that spewing hate 24/7 can inspire someone to act on it.

13. Oh man that is so sick!

Those comments...

[KamaAina]

17. "There are posters denying he was white"

Maybe he's Rachel Dolezal's brother?

[Damansarajaya]

9. Gee . . . I wonder where he got those ideas?

Should be an interesting day on right-wing hate media: "we denounce the shooting BUT . . . "

[Skidmore]

14. Tamron Hall was speaking with a representative

of the Southern Poverty Law Center a little while ago. The representative spoke about how these beliefs were commonly espoused by white supremacist groups. But then RW hate media is the platform for disseminating those ideas. I think this man was in deeper than being enticed by rhetoric or websites. I'll bet you a donut that he was a member of one.
