Floyd Lee Corkins II walked into the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington D.C. armed with a gun. Witnesses said the gunman carried a Chick-fil-A bag and tried posing as an intern in the Conservative non-profit. Activists for same-sex marriage have staged boycotts and "kiss ins" against the fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A because its COO supports traditional marriage. The FRC also supports traditional marriage and opposes the homosexual agenda.
The FRC security guard tried stopping Corkins from entering. Corkins then shot the guard in the arm, but the guard still managed to disarm and subdue him. Corkins then shouted, "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."
Corkins had volunteered at the Washington Community Center for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgendered People. The group and 26 homosexual organizations have condemned Corkins' behavior in a joint statement carried on the website of Gay-Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Many Democrats, homosexual activist organizations and even Liberal mayors expressed their outrage over the private views of the Chick-fil-A executives. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the former Chief of Staff for President Obama, said "Chick-fil-A" is not welcome in his city. Watch the video to see more of the rhetoric attacks against the family-owned restaurant chain.
Ironically, the Liberal activist group Southern Poverty Law Center designated FRC as a hate group.

Honestly, Fef, the way you pose some of your questions - that in and of itself can be 'hate mongering'. I am very disappointed in you sometimes. It's almost like you're out there looking for something to twist into a left vs. right battle. See if you can stir things up some more. You are adding fuel to the fire. Do you feel better when you see the negativity and divisiveness your questions generate? Please, I would like to know.
Toss it in a cell and lose the key.
I still don't think leftist rhetoric CAUSED the incident, but there is some influence undeniably.
Politicizing these mass shootings is the contemporary and domestic parallel of the Reichstag burning.
The only entity responsible for any act of gun violence is the person who pulled the trigger.
His political veiws may be liberal but this nuts faulty reasoning is basically no different from the type of poor thinking that another nutcase might do when trying to justify an attack on an abortion clinic, govt building, etc, etc.
pathetic news
Also please don't use FOX News as a primary source. It's embarrassing.
"Corkins had volunteered at the Washington Community Center for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgendered People"
Even if that were the case, you still need to prove that the incident occurred because of political views/what-have-you.
As far as your rant abou FOX. No, I didn't see it. And no, I don't care. Most libs hate FOX because they hate the truth.
