If just about any other religious minister had been killed, the media would be making a point to report it. The media is conspicuously silent about this man's death and the wounding of his wife.

F the media. They have really outdone themselves during this incident - and thats saying quite a bit.

They disgust me beyond words.

I cried when I read the story of what Mr. Stoddard did. He threw himself on top of his wife to save her. He died saving his wife.

The atheists want to destroy Christianity because it is what made this country a great, exceptional place. It is also a reminder that our Rights come from God and our laws were based in Natural Law which is the origin of common sense. Marxist want no rational thinkers, no reason and logic. It exposes their ugly lies. The Marxist media does everything in their power to marginalize Christianity and wipe that word out of the conscious of the nation. If they do use the term it has to have a negative connotation. Marxism is all about lies.

One does wonder what a church of Christ preacher and his wife were doing around a politician from the far left. Did it seem to them that visiting with Giffords in a grocery store parking lot would be the way the Holy Spirit would use to convict Giffords of her sins?

That would seem rather doubtful.

OTOH, one can easily doubt the Left-wing shooter would recognize the preacher and his wife, to pick them out as targets, though perhaps whatever demonic spirit possessed the shooter did.

Some Church of Christ denoms are liberal

**** Seems the media hasn’t had much to say about that. *&***

We don’t watch T.V so called, “news”, here.

(And the ones who really need to know all the facts, are the college student voting block!)

May Brother Stoddard receive a warm welcome from our Lord, and I’ll say a prayer for his wife and other family.

It’s been steadily getting worse and worse for Christians, especially since Obama was immaculated President. Like someone said, if it had been a Muslim imam who lay down his life for his wife (if imams even marry?) that would have been the drumbeat even louder than the judge and Congresswoman being shot. I am of the opinion Obama wants to incite anger in the American people in order to declare martial law on them at the drop of a hat; especially if they don’t toe the line and allow his agenda to go “forward” into the “brave new world” he and his handlers invision.

I’ve read about him several places, and FOX news mentioned not only his name but his church affiliation last night.

Sounds like a fine man.

We lost a good judge, too, and a sweet little girl. So much hurt.

And the extraordinary braveness of the woman who attempted to grab the killer’s extra magazine.

Very little mention of these heroes, only space to blame the tea party patriots.

For shame.

The “already captured” media is -like much of our Government willfully divorced form the Religious. Unless the Press can paint a scandal involving some Preacher— or use some disgraced Preacher to divide the church they have no use for those who proclaim the word of the Lord.I suspect he’s preparing one interesting sermon for that heavenly congregation.

Hey folks, I have been in contact with the church via e-mail. I run the websites for a couple of churches of Christ and contacted them asking if there was a memorial fund or a place to send flowers. below is the text of the e-mail I received:

Thank you for your condolences and for your prayers at this time. Since the incident happened less than 24 hours ago we have not discussed memorial funds, etc. It's mostly just been grappling with the freakish nature of this great loss. Dory was not our pulpit minister here at Mountain Ave. But he was in charge if our benevolence and maintenance committees. My father, Michael Nowak, is the pulpit minister and can be contacted at mike@ma-coc.org. Again, Thank you for your prayers and your willingness to help.

I will post updates when I get them

If a preacher was killed then it must have been either a satanic ritual killing or a progressive atheist murder plot and the congresswoman was just a decoy to pin the wrap on the Tea Party.

I’m just throwing out the BS conspiracies like everyone else.

Just on another thread it mentioned the names of two that had been killed. And the nine-year old Christina. So with Rev. (?) Stoddard that makes four of the six killed that I have heard any mention of.

God Bless their souls.

I noticed that most of the people killed in the shooting were older folks.

Doesn’t fit the liberal meme. Now, had it been a Muslim imam, it would have been further evidence of the evil conservatives.
