WASHINGTON, August 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The suspect arrested for shooting a security guard after attempting to enter the Family Research Council headquarters was carrying paraphernalia related to Chick-Fil-A, the restaurant chain that came under fire last month for supporting traditional marriage, according to reports.

Federal officials said the suspect, identified as Floyd Corkins, of Herndon, Virginia, “was carrying a backpack containing materials related to Chick-fil-A restaurants,” according to NBC.

In an earlier report, Fox News said that sources claimed the gunman “may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A.”

Chick-Fil-A was condemned by gay rights leaders and several mayors for CEO Dan Cathy’s expression of Biblical beliefs regarding the sanctity of marriage, remarks that touched off renewed opposition to Chick-Fil-A for donating to “hate groups,” including the Family Research Council.

Perkin’s group, one of the country’s most high-profile advocacy groups against redefining marriage, had strongly supported Cathy’s statements as well as the “Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day” that drew tens of thousands of Americans to the restaurant chain in an expression of support.

Yeah, just a libertard with a gun. Wonder if he broke any laws buying it or the ammo?

A flaming liberal attacks a known Christian organization while spouting hateful rhetoric..... Nope, nothing here. Move along, folks, move along.

“Hate groups.” LOL!!!!

So, do we have 44 “hate states,” then?

Is the Boy Scouts of America a “hate” youth organization?

Are 95% of American companies who employ American citizens “hate groups,” because they don’t kowtow to homosexual perverts?

When nearly everyone becomes a “hater” because of one radical group’s insane definition, the word loses all meaning.
