Are you guys noticing that the media, at least MSNBC, is not mentioning the shooters Obama comments?

[wndycty]

They are not talking about what he said about President Obama and his comments about interracial relationships.

[rurallib]

1. Have not heard of this. Do you have a link or a quote, please?

[wndycty]

2. The first entry

November 5, 2008:
Planned to do this in the summer but figure to stick around to see the election outcome. This particular one got so much attention and I was just curious. Not like I give a flying fcuk who won, since this exit plan was already planned. Good luck to Obama! He will be successful. The liberal media LOVES him. Amerika has chosen The Black Man. Good! In light of this I got ideas outside of Obama's plans for the economy and such. Here it is: Every black man should get a young white girl hoe to hone up on. Kinda a reverse indentured servitude thing. Long ago, many a older white male landowner had a young Negro wench girl for his desires. Bout' time tables are turned on that shit. Besides, dem young white hoez dig da bruthrs! LOL. More so than they dig the white dudes! Every daddy know when he sends his little girl to college, she be bangin a bruthr real good. I saw it. "Not my little girl", daddy says! (Yeah right!!) Black dudes have thier choice of best white hoez. You do the math, there are enough young white so all the brothers can each have one for 3 or 6 months or so.

7. And he wondered why no one liked him. I don't. nt

[RedstDem]

45. I can't think of the word to describe this filthy a-hole

He is ass backwards tho, he should have committed suicide first.

[Raven]

3. In a way, I'm glad. Just more fuel to the hateful fire. The fundies will

be blaming Obama for those shootings. Best left alone, I think, because this country is getting really crazed.

[SIMPLYB1980]

4. I'm of two minds on this.

I think it should be brought up, but at the same time I can see why they would be worried about inciting copy cats that agree with that message.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Hates Obama, so he shoots a bunch of women? nt

[wndycty]

6. No but it speaks to some resentment based on race as well. . .

If we are going to be discussing this guy, we need to be discussing his comments about Obama and interracial dating.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. He turned the lights out

before he started shooting.

He just wanted to shoot women - he didn't care what color they were.

Give it up. There's no racial component to what this horny lunatic did. He just hated that women didn't like him..................................

[wndycty]

11. No but if you are going to develop a profile of his type. . .

. . .his racism, which indicates a capacity for bigotry (based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) which is important when it comes to learning from this.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. You're digging for scraps -

Your phrase, "... bigotry (based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.)" is so over-reaching as to be meaningless.

The guy hadn't been laid in almost two decades. He was an utter flameout with women. He was tired of being lonely and resentful of just about everyone, including Obama, who probably seemed like the man who had it all compared to the shooter, regardless of race.

Perhaps a profiler would be more interested in finding out why that part of his life was such an utter failure instead of trying to stick labels like "bigotry" on him, a meaningless exercise if ever there was one.

Some people are just socially maladjusted, and the reason may be as simple as they were born with bad wiring.

Not everything is political, or bigotry, or whatever label you're looking to attach.

It's not simple, and your trying to make it so is just, well, simple...................................................

[EFerrari]

23. That's exactly right and we call that euphemistically, "social conservatism"

which means you get to hate those people, even harm them AND feel virtuously validated by the Republican Party.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

30. Ah, mah leetle anklebiter scampers up

and drools for attention..............

[EFerrari]

40. I wasn't responding to you, Miz Scarlett.

[aquart]

42. He hated white women for liking black men.

So, YEAH, there IS a "racial component."

[aquart]

41. He couldn't figure out that racist sexist pigs are a turn off?

I guess he wanted to be loved for himself.

[Myrina]

12. He can't understand his own inability to have a relationship ...

... why are women attracted to BLACK MEN rather than a (sic) normal, nice guy like him (sic) ??

So he's probably been dumped a few times, maybe once even for someone of another race, and instead of looking
at his own personality flaws, he decides that all women are evil and black men purposely seek out white women
leaving none for him (and other losers like him).

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. He hadn't been laid in 19 years -

I think his political sensibilities were "WAY down there on his list of what was wrong in his world.

NINETEEN YEARS??????

[malaise]

16. Now that's a long time

He sure had issues

[Tangerine LaBamba]

20. And tension -

lots and lots of tension...................

[malaise]

22. I said the same thing earlier this morning

intense, and loaded with issues, but (like you) based on what I read, I'm in no position to say RW or racist nutter.

[EFerrari]

25. Except it can be plainly read in what he wrote. n/t

[Tangerine LaBamba]

31. His plight will resonate with all the people

who haven't been laid in two decades, and they'll, of course, see all kinds of political and racial and gender-based overtones to it.

They're also very, very tense.....................

[global1]

17. End Senseless Shootings - Legalize Prostitution........nt

[redqueen]

29. Do you honestly think his hiring a prostitute would have stopped this?

It's really sickening how many people here seem to think there is some kind of Healing Power of the Vagina or something.

Apologies if you were being sarcastic. It's said seriously so often, I couldn't tell.

[aquart]

43. "The Healing Power of the Vagina."

When you read fairy tales and they talked of a magic cauldron...what did you think they meant?

[RedstDem]

47. Prostitution can only fulfil sexual desire, not the desire to love and be loved.

I think there's a big difference.

[MNDemNY]

10. Whacked is whacked. He was whacked.

[Uzybone]

13. When even "liberals" are denying the guy was a racist

I'm not suprised the M$M has ignored that angle

[Tangerine LaBamba]

15. There is no "angle" -

he was nuts, badly wired, socially retarded, lost. Imagine how cranky YOU would be if you hadn't had sex with another person in nineteen years, and you hadn't taken a vow of celibacy.

Not everything is political. That kind of obsessive branding is so tiresome and counter-productive......................

[wndycty]

18. I bet there are a ton of "40 year old Virgins" who don't resort to shooting up a gym

:kick:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

19. Forty-eight -

get your numbers correct.

And I'm sure there are as you state, but this one wasn't a virgin - gee, you're bad with facts - and he did shoot up a women's exercise class.

It wasn't political................

[redqueen]

27. Exactly... all these making a big deal out of his lack of a sex life

only validate using that kind of idiocy as an excuse for anything.

[Uzybone]

21. so his obssessing about black men banging white girls is just "cranky"?

Ive heard it all.

[Karenina]

26. Really.

:eyes:

[redqueen]

28. It's shocking how easily people write off racism isn't it?

But, well... there are trends, so... it's not really all that shocking after all, really.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

32. He was obsessed with anybody banging anybody -

why do you think he just chose women to shoot at, and turned out the lights before he opened fire?

Jesus, these Chicken Littles who can't grasp reality, when reality is bad enough.........................

[EFerrari]

24. No kidding. n/t

[BlooInBloo]

34. Well duh. What did *you* think "post-racial society" meant? Silly wabbit.

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

33. They're definitely downplaying the racist overtones

Because they know that that will take a life of its own in the MSM discourse.

Not facing it is an insidious form of cowardice.

[Captain Hilts]

35. So, a guy walks into a room, shoots several black people, we're allowed to say it's sexist too?

The guy hates everybody, but it was a roomful of women he shot.

[BlooInBloo]

36. Depends what his journal says. Durr.

[Captain Hilts]

38. Yes, he IS a racist. But yesterday he actually acted on his hatred for women. nt

[MrScorpio]

39. He was both racist and misgynistic

He demonstrated his racism in his blog, but not mentioning that misrepresents his hatred for minorities by dismissing it.

His targeting of women as well as his words demonstrated his hatred for them.

The full measure of his hatred should be examined without the laziness of generalizing it.

[EFerrari]

37. Teasing out this guy would take a team of shrinks.

He sounds like an equal op bigot to me.

[LostInAnomie]

44. They aren't mentioning it because it had NO bearing on his reasoning.

He didn't shoot those women because he didn't like Obama.

He didn't shoot those women because he hated blacks.

He didn't shoot those women because he hated fundamentalists.

He didn't shoot those women because he hated his brother.

He shot those women because he hated women.

All the rest is immaterial, and I don't see why people keep thinking it has any bearing.

[Arkana]

46. From what I've gotten of this guy he just hated everyone equally.

He was an equal-opportunity shithead.
