S.C. shooter parroted FOX/GOP talking points VERBATIM


A website surfaced on Saturday containing a possible trove of photos of Dylann Roof and a racist manifesto explaining why he allegedly targeted Charleston, South Carolina, in a shooting this week that killed nine African-Americans.

The website, "The Last Rhodesian," includes a passage about why the writer, identified as Roof, chose Charleston.

I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.

He also wrote that the Trayvon Martin shooting was a turning point in his life and led him to research "black on White crime."

I wonder where he turned to to "research" this and get his news?

2015 - FOX website, two weeks before SC shooting:

2015 - Sean Hannity, one week before SC shooting:

Guest: You're Saying George Zimmerman Was Right? Hannity: 'Absolutely'
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sean-hannity-zimmerman-was-right

Ann Coulter, 2013, cheered on by Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller:

“They don’t report on the much more common black-on-white crime, but the very rare man-bites-dog story of white-on-black crime — that gets covered hysterically not because it is a man-bites-dog story, but they act as if, ‘No, this is all too common, it’s the racism in America.’ No, it is very rare. In one example of my book — rape cases, interracial rape cases, the number of black-on-white rapes going back 15 years, 15 years there are about 1,000-to-2,000 a year black-on-white rapes. For 15 years according to the Department of Justice victimization surveyd, the number of white-on-black rapes are either 0.0 or sample too small for a number.”

"Columnist Ann Coulter Defends White Supremacist Group"
In her latest foaming-mouth tome — Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America, released on Jan. 6 — Coulter spends the better part of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a “thinly veiled white supremacist organization.” Coulter begs to differ. The CCC, Coulter opines, is “a conservative group” that has unfairly been branded as racist “because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group
(...)
Coulter could hardly be more wrong. And even if she can’t find time to read beyond a page of the CCC’s website, she really ought to know — after all, the organization where she frequently speaks, the Conservative Political Action Committee, has publicly banned the CCC from its annual gathering because it is racist. Also in the late 1990s, Jim Nicholson, then-chairman of the Republican National Committee, asked GOP members to stay away from the CCC because of its “racist and nationalist views.”
(...)
The CCC’s columnists have written that black people are “a retrograde species of humanity,” and that non-white immigration is turning the U.S. population into a “slimy brown mass of glop.” Its website has run photographic comparisons of pop singer Michael Jackson and a chimpanzee. It opposes “forced integration” and decries racial intermarriage. It has lambasted black people as “genetically inferior,” complained about “Jewish power brokers,” called gay people “perverted sodomites,” and even named the late Lester Maddox, the baseball bat-wielding, arch-segregationist former governor of Georgia, “Patriot of the Century.”

They're the biggest RW terrorist outlet in America.

I love the last video's frame, identifying Mr. Tibbs as an "expert." Faux Snooze does that often. What did he do to make him an expert? Stay at a Holiday Inn last night? I once saw the definition of expert broken down into two parts: "ex," meaning formerly and "spurt," which is a big drip of water. In Mr. Tibbs' case, PHD stands for "Piled Higher and Deeper."

but I also think their target wasn't so much blacks, in general. The hate they've displayed, day after day after day, surely gives one a clue as to what I'm referring to. Fortunately, they haven't succeeded.


It's about time that the media be pulled into the picture and exposed or charged with agitating the weak or disturbed to pull off these heinous crimes against humanity. Freedom of speech is a wonderful gift to each of us, but there is a limit. There have to be millions of examples, since FOX is on a 24/7 agenda to keep this country on edge. Add to their voices all the RW hate radio/TV shows and you have a powerful propaganda machine.


It doesn't take much to set off these young fools. It looks like Roof didn't have many friends and taking on this task would make him well-known throughout history.


Now, he'll be able to sit in a cell for the rest of his life and contemplate whether or not he made the right decision.

into lethal high danger volume over more than 20 years. The unregulated and corporate controlled consolidated media giants we now have are the direct result of Reagan dissing the Fairness Doctrine and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and the 1996 Telecom Act media deregulation that discarded important ownership rules. End the race and hate mongers, enough is enough!

Faux News is responsible for their propaganda of hate which inspires these loser to do something. To me, they are as guilty as if they pulled the trigger themselves.

The Nazis didn't just start off killing people in the gas chambers. It started with words, cruel name calling, the scapegoating of an entire race/religion. This gradually escalated to the Kristallnacht event. You know the rest.

We can no longer tolerate a "news" network engaging in constant race baiting. Fox is so racist and right wing they might as well be wearing swastikas.

This shit must end.

but I'm NOT OK continuing down this road.

There MUST be some accountability for the Talking Heads on FOX.

Faux news puts on black conservatives who are mostly paid to attack the 98% of african americans who support President Obama. They are racists. If you live in south carolina make signs with message fox news is racists with quotes from above and when fox news slime do stand up get sign on camera while chanting fox news is racist.

Regardless of whatever the fox-bots says, what are the stats on white on black crime vs black on white crime? And why do you get blasted when you ask that question? Why does it only count if the bad guy is white?
It surely pisses off a lot of people here, but it is what it is.

That being said, this ignorant trash Roof deserves the needle and I hope thats what he gets. I have little doubt that's exactly what he'll get. And then dont wait 20 yrs to get rid of him.
