Family Research Council tries to link the Obama administration to shooting

Family Research Council: Obama Administration ‘Linked’ To Shooting

A day after Family Research Council President Tony Perkins blamed the Southern Poverty Law Center for the actions of a Virginia man who shot an employee at their headquarters earlier this week, Perkins is now claiming that President Obama's administration has blood on irs hands as well.

"I think as we witnessed this past week at the Family Research Council, clearly linked to that same atmosphere of hostility that’s created by the public policies of an administration that’s indifferent or hostile to religious freedom and groups like as I mentioned the Southern Poverty Law Center that recklessly throws around labels giving people like this gunman who came into our building a license to take innocent life," Perkins said on a FRC radio program on Friday.

Obama said Wednesday that "this type of violence has no place in our society." Here's audio of Perkins' remarks, via Right Wing Watch:
