John Russel Houser was both a supporter of the far-right Tea Party and the extremist Christian Westboro Baptist Church, web accounts connected to the 59-year-old Louisiana theater shooter reveal.

So it was illegal for him to have guns (criminal history) and we was mentally ill. But the story will be that we need to control guns and conservatives are dangerous.
1 teaparty member commits a violent act- whole tea party to blame
millions of muslims do violent acts- islam not to blame.
Fred Phelps has run for public office 4 times, as a DEMOCRAT...once winning over 30% of the vote in the DEMOCRAT primary for senate.
Westboro Baptist Church is a DNC front to make conservatives look bad. I bet you’ll find a lot of their funding comes covertly from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
...police did not reveal much about the gunman,
Where did you get your information, Ashley? Methinks you are not being truthful, Ashley.

What a pantload. They could say he's a follower of the Pope. Would that mean the Pope approved of his actions?
Do Tea Party members approve of him?
Do Tea Party members approve of the Westboro Baptists?
This one line was extremely vile. It was written to besmirch people who do not share this guy's core views, or the views of the Westboro Baptist's.
This is a pure propaganda hit piece.
Can someone explain to me what is FAR RIGHT about supporting the U. S. Constitution? NOTHING!
Far right of the writer, well duh? The guy is ready to fall off the Left end of the scale.
Guys like this should have their pen impounded.
Tea Party and WBC do not mix. They’re oil and water.
This is westboro baptist type thinking, not tea party. What tea partier would say evil islamonutball iran is more "moral" than the us?
Funny how all the left wing mass shooters are never identified as democrats but simply mentally ill...
One “right wing” crazy far overshadows a thousand left wing crazed murders and a thousand Moslem jihadist murderers.
Yeah, I have that problem also. Have to take some deep breaths, have a martoonie or two .....
White nutcase shooting black church members results in Confederate flag ban. White alleged conservative nutcase shoots up a theater results in attempted handgun ban?
I knew that one was coming. I just did not know when.
For MSM and the rest of the Left Westboro is the very essence of Christianity except the part where Jesus was a Marxist.
This guy was a lunatic with a long arrest record.
Sounds like a leftist to me.
He killed white people.
Sounded like this guy was just one or two steps away from going Muzzie.
How many Tea Party members or conservatives would support Westboro? Prolly ZERO.
I was just going to post that you can't be both....one completely contradicts the other.
Gee that’s just terrible. OMG he might be affiliated with a Conservative group, horrors!
But the liberals don’t mind a bit if an organization murders children and sells their body parts. Murders children, as a form of birth control, how liberal of them.
