This is the price of hateful rhetoric: How right-wing invective is feeding right-wing terror
Salon ^ | Conor Lynch

Posted on 12/02/2015 8:18:33 PM PST by presidio9

Something strange happened on Friday. Two topics that Republican presidential candidates normally can’t talk about enough — Planned Parenthood and terrorism — were both a part of the major news story of the day. Yet not one of them thought it was worth commenting on. (Ted Cruz was the first to comment on it the following day in Iowa.) Normally, when a gunman starts randomly shooting up a place somewhere in the United States, politicians are the first to give condolences or prayers or strong words for future terrorists. If this had been a man with darker skin who looked worthy of profiling at the airport, you can be sure that GOP candidates would have quickly taken advantage of it to prove their strength or to do a bit of fear mongering. But in this case, silence.

Of course, this particular gunman decided to attack Planned Parenthood, where, as Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains CEO Vicki Cowart said to Think Progress, anti-abortion extremists (which most GOP candidates are at this point) have created a “poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.” Right-wing media outlets like Fox News and Breitbart can also be counted among the extremists promoting anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood violence. It is hard to overstate the amount of vitriol that has come from these sources over past few months, since the debunked Planned Parenthood videos, which falsely implied that the women’s health organization was profiting off of fetal tissue and organs for research, were released in the Summer. Indeed, it was a matter of time until a lunatic decided that the best course of action was to go and kill people in order to

Close to time to ID leftists like those at Saloon as just more terrorists and take them out with the rest. At the least, they give aid and comfort to the ones with fingers on the triggers. Would you turn your back on one of them?

All enemies, all need to be put away.

Some would make the argument that the country would be a better place had Conor’s mom made the choice he so loves.

This man Cannor Lynch loves butchery and murder. Just as long as it’s little babies who are being exterminated. He is a supporter of, and a willing participant in the slaughter of little people, made in the very image of G-d. He HATES those Righteous people who stand by the Law of Sinai. What did G-d ever do to him that he should Hate Him so much? G-d gives Connor Lynch his next breath, and all that he has comes from His Hand. Pray for this poor lost soul who doesn’t even know what he is doing in this life; that he’ll get hungry foe the “Bread of Heaven” before it’s too late.

Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder with no known cure . . except education with truth. . but they refuse to even listen and/or think. . so hopeless cases. Really a shame as they are Americans. . or most of them.

He needs to clean the lens on his cellphone. Did he dip it in a jar of urine for ‘art’?

Conor Lynch is a smelly little squib. And dumb - he doesn’t even know how to spell his own name.

Why do all these libs look the same? The smug, pampered, fragile look, masquerading as some sort of TV commercial masculinity; and the glasses, the never-soiled working-class clothes, the sense that you could knock them over with your little finger?

Exactly.

The whacko didn't kill or harm anyone inside the Planned Parenthood clinic.

He shot at and killed people before he got in there.

You'd think he would have done "something" if PP was his target.

He didn't, and this Salon creep KNOWS that.
