So the Louisiana gunman was a white libertarian tea partier who hated women, Obama and all liberals



The gunman who killed two moviegoers and wounded nine others had a prolific online commenting history that revealed a fascination with censorship, Iran, and right-wing politics.

John Russell Houser, of Phenix City, Alabama, posted frequently across a variety of online forums — from political discussions to message boards for Oldsmobile enthusiasts — where he complained about “moral decay” and media brainwashing.

“America is so sick that I now believe it to be the enemy of the world,” he wrote under the name Rusty Houser in a December 2013 comment on Fellowship of the Minds. “I know next to nothing about Iran, but the little I do know tells me they are far higher morally than this financially failing filth farm.”

<...>

“If you don’t think the internet is censored, try reading a newspaper from a country that hates liberals the way I do,” reads his second — and last — Twitter post, from June 2013. The first argues that “Westboro Baptist Church may be the last real church in America [members not brainwashed].”r

His Facebook account shows just two likes — the “I hate liberals!” political organization, which uses an avatar that reads “Stand with Rand,” and the Crossroads Irish-American Festival.

tries to blame this one on liberals/women/Obama/etc. this time. Getting a gun while being mentally-insane/prone to criminal activity still remains a piece of cake in the U.S. all thanks to our elephant friends lacking a backbone to stand up to the gun industry. They think the right of criminals and lunatics to hoard guns is more important than the right of everyone else to live.

Scarborough and the "journalists" on his show could barely contain themselves Friday when they interviewed him.

Maybe a few Israeli publications, and various European white nationalist organization (and talk about an ironic grouping: Nazis and Netanyahu), but to pretty much the entire rest of the world, American liberals are the only Americans they like.

They gave an Nobel Peace Prize to Obana literally for not being George W Bush.
