Two people, including a security guard, were reportedly shot this morning at the headquarters of the pro-life group Family Research Council.

According to information provided to LifeNews from a Washington pro-life source, a man posing as an intern shot the guard at the FRC office located at 801 G Street, NW.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins confirmed the security officer was shot and said in a statement, “The police are investigating this incident. Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family.”

I blame Rush Limbaugh, Chick-fil-A, and those Amish right wingers.

Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism.”

And with that comes the end of our country. Now Democrats are going to win hearts and minds to ban firearms in this country with the simple line of "Don't you want to stop terrorism?"

Be on notice and mark my words. This is the beginning of the end.

I hope the Romney/Ryan campaign challenges the Dufus and the Vice-Dufus to defend the FRC, and their right to hold to their values and express their opinions.

Will the Obama Admisistration call this “domestic terrorism”?

And just what makes you think the Romney/Ryan campaign SUPPORTS the FRC in the first place?

I’m guessing there will be no comments from R&R regarding this.

Just like Chick fil A.

(damn shame)

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the shooter walked into the lobby of the building at about 10:45 and was confronted by the security guard as if the guard was asking him where he was going.

The man then took out a gun and opened fire on the guard, Lanier said. The guard and others wrestled the man to the ground, disarmed him and waited for police, she said. The guard was then taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, the chief said.

The shooter is in FBI custody and has not yet been charged, authorities said.

“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” Lanier said. ”He did his job. The person never made it past the front.”

Authorities did not identify the shooter or the security guard. They also would not say what kind of gun the shooter used or whether the security guard was armed.

“We don’t know enough about him or his circumstances to determine what his connection is to this group [the research council] or his mental state, or what he was doing or thinking of doing,” McJunkin said. “So we’re going to try to sort this all out, pull the evidence together, do all the interviews we can.”

From the Huffington Post...

Chick-fil-A profits support Focus on the Family (FOF) and its off-shoot group, the Family Research Council (FRC), which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. FOF aggressively defames LGBT people as a threat to children, and FRC spent $25,000 to stop the U.S. Congress from condemning Uganda’s anti-homosexuality bill, which calls for the execution of gay people in some cases.

CNN hasn’t even bothered to mention this, yet.

It must be too politically incorrect to cover, for them.

[The motive of the shooting was unclear. —Washington Post


“The suspect “made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard,” a source told Fox News.


Hey, Washington Compost, quit lying. The motive is perfectly clear.

I disagree. Democrats love and support this type of “domestic terrorism”.

They won’t call it that. They’ll soften up the lingo. But when it comes to violence against “racist, hate-mongering, homophobic, bigoted Christians...”

Anything goes.

That nasty ho from the Black Pampers just said; “Our feet will be on your Mother... “ and we can look at this as an example of what she meant.

If the security guard had died could Romney run an ad with the guard’s wife saying that Obama’s/Democrat’s campaign of hate and division killed her husband?
