Family Research Council: SPLC Created Environment That Led To Shooting

[JDPriestly]

14. The shoe is on the other foot now.

So, are the crazy bombers and shooters on the other side also inspired by groups like the Family Research Council and Rush Limbaugh? It would seem logical to assume that what works on one side works for the other, wouldn't it.

So, I take this as an admission that inflammatory rhetoric and namecalling incite violence.

Glad to see Tony Perkins taking some responsibility for the rash, the epidemic of violence against Democrats and left-wing leaders.

But I hardly think that this shooter would have been paying much attention to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

That's like saying that someone was inspired to commit murder by the Cato Foundation. Hotheads generally don't respond to intellectual arguments. Rather, they respond to situations or to rhetoric that incites on an emotional level like Rush Limbaugh.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is not really known to most people. And I have heard them talk about suing people, but not about shooting them or taking violent action of any kind.
