1. K&R.....

2. K&R. That vile piece of crap Lou Dobbs was STILL pushing the "Christian hate" meme

at around 6:30 (CDT) this evening on Fox Business.

Note: I never watch that network - just scrolling through as I was looking for the U.S. Open.

3. surprised anyone would carry Lou Dobbs

Fox? but of course.

4. This assertion by the killer is offensive to racists.

Why do they even report his hateful words?

5. Frothymix Turtlesex pulled the same shit.

Speaking to Joe Piscopo on his New York radio station AM 970, Rick Santorum took the tragedy that unfolded in South Carolina last night and turned it into a talking point on the imaginary "assault on religious liberty" he and others on the religious right have been trumpeting. He started out on the right foot, saying "It’s obviously a crime of hate. Again, we don’t know the rationale, but what other rationale could there be?" But then Santorum couldn't help himself. Instead of focusing on the lives that were taken, he quickly broadened the scope to score cheap political points for his campaign.

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.

It's not surprising that Santorum would use this moment to fearmonger to Christians, but it is still sickening. That there is an concerted "assault on religious liberty" in this country is a laughably empty controversy dreamed up by fundamentalists in response to the marriage equality debate. To drag it into the murders that took place at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is beyond human decency, even for a Republican presidential candidate of Rick Santorum's caliber.

What a piece of human sewage FT is.

6. "even for a Republican presidential candidate of Rick Santorum's caliber."

One piece of shit is of a higher caliber than another piece of shit? I guess santorum is a higher caliber piece of shit than the rest in the clown car.

11. What do you call a dung eater's shit? Sanctorum?

As far as I can tell there are very few republicans and media spoutoons that aren't just reprocessing each other's crap.

Is anyone buying this? Or is it just funded by the biggest crapsters of all?

7. Media: "Woah, I hope he doesn't mean what he's saying, our white audience won't like to hear this"

Can't do the us vs them thing on this one....

[liberalmike27]

8. Sometimes I wonder

Just how stupid do they think we are. Hell I don't even like them diverting to the gun issue on this one. This was pure racial hatred, a kid ruined by his parents and probably grandparents, for life. It had nothing to do with religion, and that is the most disgusting of bit bullshit, that I've ever heard in my life.

[SunSeeker]

9. Exactly right. He killed them despite their religion, not because of it.

He said he sat with the bible study group for an hour and almost didn't kill them because they were "being so nice" to him.

[Chemisse]

14. Almost didn't kill them?

Horribly sad.

[underpants]

10. The media is stalking waiting for the next news drama to happen

They are simply running out the clock so they don't have to address the details. When the next big story happens that will give a week or so and then they will report about it in a checking-back-in type report.

As Jon Stewart clearly predicted we won't do jacks#|t about this.

[rocktivity]

12. They're trying to distract us

with a referendum on the Confederate flag.

Keep your eyes on the prize...

13. And his comments were nothing but regurgitated Fox/Limbaugh talking points --

the ones that have fomented hate and mistrust of all minorities, and
which have grown exponentially since Obama took office.

such as, "We need to take back our country!"

Take it back from whom or from what, Episcopalians or "the blacks" ???

They sow the seeds, we reap the crop.

[underpants]

17. Sure, the Episcopalians...

that's who the press WANTS you to focus on but it's them Methodists you've gotten really watch. So organized, ending their services so early like that. They stretch out the "church crowd" time as a menace on the roads and they absolutely takeover buffet lines.

Methodists

[King_Klonopin]

18. Damn Methodists ! nt

[Bradical79]

15. yeah, one of the craziest things I've seen

There's not even the slightest bit of wiggle room for debate on this. It's just conservatives in the media outright trying to deceive people.

[sellitman]

16. Bush lead the pack with that reply

Why am I not surprised ?
