Republicans spin church killings to peddle anti-gay bigotry

“You talk about the importance of prayer in this time and we’re now seeing assaults on our religious liberty we’ve never seen before. It’s a time for deeper reflection beyond this horrible situation.” — Rick Santorum

Baloney. This was a white racist killing black churchgoers because he hates black people. His own words prove it. According to an eyewitness, the shooter said, “I have to do it. You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.” That’s an allusion to people of color, not people who go to church.

120325_rick_santorum_605_apPhoto: Rick Santorum and other Republicans are spinning yesterday’s attack against a black Bible study group as part of a “war against religion” to peddle their party’s ridiculous assertion that gay rights are an assault on religious liberty.

    Richard Pryor had a comedy routine about a serial killer and when the prosecutor asked why he killed all in the house he replied,” They was Home!” Taken out of context and with my memory this scenario may be totally wrong. I hear of things like the killings in here; I think of situations wnere the opportunity was completely random. I guess I should go and pay more attention to the facts.
    But, these facts I do know: we don’t need gun control as President Obama says and Rick Santorum’s comment qualifies him for a bed next to the killer. What if they don’t convict him of being crazy? In my mind this man had to be conditioned to do this deed whether it was virtual or directed.One last fact I know: there are more crazies on the street than in the institution.

    Anyplace that flies and celebrates America’s version do the swastika is celebrating racism. Asa for guns, the second amandment was never meant as it is used now. There is no more reason to allow guns without ocntrol then ther eis to giver everybody little baggies od cyanide.
