It's nuts to say that there was any other motivation then race. He chose a church because it's supposed to be a place of peace and safety and least likely to have someone armed to stop him.

Agreed.

 

It can happen at any church, but if I was a member of a black church, or a synagogue or mosque, I would strongly consider carrying.

Please provide a link to that. I've been watching Fox off and on most of the day and I've heard no one express that sentiment.

 

Again, to be fair, it was the pastor who first mentioned it, but Doocy brought it up again as a point. I'm not saying it's FoxNews, but I wish Doocy would have really questioned the pastor on how he could see it in any other way than being racial.

Rick Santorum and Rudy Guliani also weighed in:

Conservatives Ignore Racism And Spin Church Shooting As A War On Christianity

FWIW, I believe there is an active war against Christianity more than almost anyone else. In no way do I think this tragedy was motivated by anti-Christianity feelings.

 

All signs point to racial motivation. Either way, it is a horrible, horrible tragedy. We can sit and point to things and say would have could have should have all day, but the fact of the matter is 9 people died. Tragedy.

I won't defend Doocy's statements (and I hadn't heard them) but I'll bet neither of the "unbiased" sources you cited will have anything negative to say about Obama's politicization of it just a few hours later.

It was tragedy no matter what.

I don't think anyone said the sources were unbiased. They did however report exactly what was said. You didn't think it was said and asked for a link. We gave it to you.

When you provide MediaMatters, you have as much credibility as you give Fox.

Well the link has the video from Fox so I'm failing to see how it is inaccurate.

But it was a link to a clip from Fox And Friends, don't read the article, watch the Fox And Friends clip. So if one provides a link to a video of a Fox show, you dismiss it as not being credible? Fascinating!!

I will pray for you, mcpapa.

 

I will pray for you as well, AJG.

 

Can you throw some of those my way too? I'll take all I can get.

To be fair, I don't listen to any comments from the president. Nor would what he says sway my opinion. And as I lol at it we are pretty much in agreement on the tragedy

Yep, throw me in there too.

Supposably the roommate said the kid was planning this for 6 months? Yet he said nothing to anyone?

 

If true, him, and anyone else who fail to inform the authorities, should be charged with accessory to the crime and obstruction
