mediaite ^ | June 18, 2015 | Josh Feldman

Todd Rutherford, a South Carolina state legislator and a friend of one of the victims, spoke out on CNN this afternoon about how “the rhetoric in South Carolina, the rhetoric nationwide, has led people to believe… that it’s okay to walk into a church and take nine lives.”

Rutherford spoke to Jake Tapper about the Charleston church shooting and the death of his friend Reverend Clementa Pinckney.

“[The gunman] hears that because he watches the news and he watches things like Fox News, where they talk about things that they call news, but they’re really not. They use that coded language, they use hate speech, they talk about the president as if he’s not the president, they talk about churchgoers that they’re not really churchgoers. And that’s what this young man acted on.

Shameful but not unexpected.

And now some left-wing nut hearing and believing this will do something real stupid; I hope FOXNEWS and their affiliates have good security.

i cant believe what he said. Almost threw up. A moderate network at best is the cause for all the woes in the world. We need more Brian Williams. /s
i’m disgusted. I’m not from SC, I’m from NYC, but I HATE that they are going to pick on South Carolina for this.

Never a peep when blacks kill whites. Do they want to compare numbers. and percentages?

Pro-ject-ion.

The rhetoric on CNN is responsible for the death of the shooting of the 2 cops in New York City and the female cop in Omaha.

I remember during eight years of George W Bush him being referred to as a Monkey, as Adolf Hitler, an ape, and the devil..A shoe was actually thrown at the President, a SHOE, and the media thought it was hilarious..gee I dont remember the same outrage. Were those “Code words” by leftists to not like Bush because of his race

Hey we predicted this, Obamas June surprise and it’s only going to get worse and more intense as we near the election. I wonder which weak minded individual his goons will work on next after they organize a few riots.

"that it's okay to walk into a church and take nine lives."

Boy, maybe I've been missing something. I don't watch much TV news, but I don't recall anyone ever saying that it's okay to walk into a church and take lives. When was that program on?

He forgot to mention racists like himself, Jesse Jackson, and tax-cheat Al Sharpton, plus the Black Panthers, plus President Obama who fuels the fire of racism, and others, that incite people. Rather than working together as one to recognize the abilities of those of all races, it is black leaders who continue to stir the racism pot. Whites are as distressed as blacks over this senseless shooting and we all pour our hearts out to that community.

The Left knows nothing but hate so they will never grow up. This guy is living proof of that old saying: “You can be stupid, a racist, and a leftist all at one time”
