Police: Man shot churchgoers over liberal views
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Mon Jul 28, 11:02 AM
Knoxville's police chief says the man accused of a shooting that killed two people at a Tennessee church targeted the congregation because of its liberal social stance.
Chief Sterling Owen IV said Monday that police found a letter in Jim D. Adkisson's car. Owen said Adkisson was apparently frustrated over being out of work and had a "stated hatred of the liberal movement."
Adkisson is charged with first-degree murder. Police say a gunman entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during a children's performance Sunday. No children were hurt.
The church is known for advocating women's and gay rights and founding an American Civil Liberties Union chapter.

Secondly, it was a liberal church.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
To be found, conveniently
I get your humor;)
It's just a shame there's actually two less to vote liberal now....what a fucked up world.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions

How many times do we have to hear about churches supposedly preaching violence and hate, and yet we have major hypocrites on this board who will preach the same violence and hate as long as it goes against a church?
This is pretty much similar to what that moronic church in Kansas does when it protests (ie celebrates) the deaths of military people.
Basically, it's OK to make a joke about someone getting murdered as long as it isn't "your own kind", huh?
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Who's preaching violence and hate against this church? Or any church, for that matter?
If you are celebrating the violent death of someone, you're preaching violence and hate in my opinion.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
Did I say anything anywhere that was remotely close to that?
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
....and who's celebrating the violent death of anyone?
Clearly you misinterpreted something someone said (don't even know if you're refering to me) and you're over-reacting to it.
No where in this thread is anyone celebrating the death of the victims, of this lunatic shooter.
But feel free to point out where exactly you perceive celebration.

You're right. I screwed up. I thought the OP was saying there would be less conservatives voting because of the people who were killed. I see now they were referring to the gunman, although I do think it's in poor taste to make fun of a very unfortunate situation.

I would consider Jesus a liberal, without a doubt
at least he was until the reagan era conservative movement hijacked the religion and made Jesus their mascot
I wouldn't even dignify Fred Phelps by calling his little family a "church." Freddo is nothing more than a meth-using child abuser who hides behind religion for tax purposes. His only "church" membership is his direct family. And they're all lawyers.

that is not funny at all. it's a 100% shitty thing to say. seriously. it's nothing but sad when ignorance leads to violence.
Two for ones aren't always the good deal they may sound to be, eh?
There are way to many messed up people in this world.

just an observation
seems god (old testament) was a conservative, and his son (new testament) a liberal

but now that Jesus is over 2000 years old, he might be a McCain guy.
yeah, my thread last week wasn't funny either...
apparently it was OK for John McCain to bomb schools in North Vietnam but his subsequent torture and imprisonment wasn't deemed funny by you...or ironic at least.
You ride a very high horse

I'd say he wouldn't follow any group that is full of crap...I wonder how many christian sec's, since there are over 200, if any, he would consider worthy? Or even better, how many of them would accept anyone claiming to be Jesus on faith alone, without having to turn water to wine, etc....?

LOL. That's sick but funny. Over/under of two weeks before someone has a rudimentary version ready for download.
Death is part of life, you're right about that. Everyone dies. It shouldn't be because of senseless murder though. That stuff just isn't funny. Sorry. Besides, as some have pointed out already, your little "joke" didn't even make sense.
