Another SPLC murderer ginned up by leftist disciples of the Third Reich. The SPLC is a hate group dedicated to smearing and defaming every effective voice that opposes its far-left agenda — and it has incited its lemmings to violence before. Remember Floyd Corkins. And now this.
Congressional gunman: “One of my favorite TV shows is ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ on MSNBC.”
“Southern Poverty Law Center Admits Shooter ‘Liked’ Its Facebook Page, Doesn’t Retract Repeated Attacks on Rep. Scalise,” by Penny Starr, Breitbart, June 14, 2017:

As details about the man who shot GOP lawmakers and staff as they practiced for a charity baseball game emerge, the Southern Poverty Law Center — which continually attacks conservatives and conservative organizations as being hate groups — issued a statement about the shooter having “liked” its Facebook page.
But it did not retract any of the criticism of Majority Whip Steve Scales (R-LA), who remains in critical condition at a local hospital.
James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Ill., who shot Scalise and four others, died of his wounds after first responders successfully stopped his rampage.
“The attack on members of Congress and their staffs today was a sickening and cowardly act of terror that must be condemned by everyone across the political spectrum,” Richard Cohen, president of SPLC said in a statement. “Any violent attack on our political leadership is an attack on our democracy.”
“We’re aware that the SPLC was among hundreds of groups that the man identified as the shooter ‘liked” on Facebook,” the statement said. “I want to be as clear as I can possibly be: The SPLC condemns all forms of violence.”
“We have worked for decades to combat domestic terrorism and violence based on hate,” Cohen said in the statement, entitled “Attack on GOP Congressmen is Assault on Democracy.”
“Our hearts are with those who were injured today and the families of all who have been affected by this deplorable act,” Cohen said. “We hope and pray for their full recovery.”
But in posts on its website dating back to 2014, SPLC had repeatedly implied that Scalise associated with white supremacists and other groups the organization had deemed “hate groups,” including the Family Research Center where a gunman attacked the conservative, Christian group’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 2012 and later told law enforcement that he was inspired by SPLC’s Hate Map.
In its Spring “Intelligence Report” in 2015, SPLC implied that because Scalise lives in the same state as Ku Klux Klan members, he “associated” with them.
“In fact, Scalise, who hails from the same Louisiana parish as Duke and Knight, may have had some real affinities with EURO. In 1999, Roll Call reported that Scalise ‘said he embraces many of the same ‘conservative’ views as Duke, but is more viable.’ Scalise also reportedly told a columnist that his politics were similar to Duke’s, but ‘without the baggage.’”
In December of 2014, SPLC attacked Scalise for allegedly speaking at a gathering that included white supremacists.
“Faced with an exploding crisis sparked by the revelation that the No. 3 Republican in the House gave a speech to a well-known group of white supremacists and neo-Nazis a dozen years ago, the GOP in Rep. Steve Scalise’s home state of Louisiana is doubling down, calling the entire episode a mere ‘manufactured blogger story,’” SPLC wrote.
“Really? A manufactured blogger story?” SPLC wrote, adding:
Scalise claimed yesterday that he had no idea of the views promoted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), whose workshop he addressed in 2002 at a hotel in Metairie, La. And he was backed by an array of Louisiana Republicans including state GOP chair Roger Villere Jr., who described Scalise as ‘a man of great integrity who embodies his Christian faith in his life.’
Villere dismissed the story broken by Louisiana blogger Lamar White Jr. as ‘an attempt to score political points by slandering the character of a good man.’
“But Scalise’s claim of ignorance is almost impossible to believe,” SPLC wrote. “He was a state representative and an aspiring national politician at the time, and Louisiana-based EURO already was well known as a hate group led by America’s most famous white supremacist.”

The poisonous fruit of the PsychoLeft on full display. High Priestess of the Left, Rachel Maddow, used this incident on her show to call for …. wait for it …. gun control.
The gunman was a product of CNN, MSNBC, SPLC, Bernie Sanders, Woodchuck Schumer, and all the other fascist leaders on the Left.

Given the incessant attacks on the President by the Fake News outlets and the Alt Left in Washington, we can expect an attempt on the President’s life at any time. They’ve stirred up their zombie-like followers to a fevered frenzy.

On FOX this morning, Bill Hemmer is interviewing Brad somebody from some Bush administration and Lefty slimeball Richard Fowler about how everybody in Washington “on both sides” are really “friends” and there is “civility” that people in the country never see, etc, etc…
Presuming to sum up the consensus of the group, Lefty slimeball Richard Fowler says, “Today it’s a guy motivated by Left-wing rhetoric, tomorrow it could be a guy motivated by Right-wing rhetoric.”
We see the civility.
We see the surrender.
We see the wholesale failure of our political “leadership” and especially our media.

This man who shot up the Republican baseball practice yesterday could not hit the broadside of a barn….if he was proficient with his SKS .308 there would have been a massacre …The 7.62/.308 rifle round is a killing round for certain ..I sometimes wonder how far advanced MK Ultra really is…
The Libertards will now be screaming for Trump to initiate more gun control….even to the point of confiscation …
America is closer to Civil War than ever…since 1865 ….We the people are being forced into the point of no return…
Good Luck…U gonna need it…..

” His SKS .308 ” ? SKS = 7.62 X 39mm Intermediate Soviet Round (M.E.R. 400 meters ) .308 = 7.62 X 51mm NATO Round ( M.E.R. 1200 meters )

I doubt that anyone saw this picture several years ago because it was taken about year ago on my back porch. And i’m not interested in any SKS Rifles that have been converted to take ” AK ” magazines even though i have several that have had 20 rd. permeability attached magazines replacing the 10 rd. stock item. among my collection. I proffer the ” AK ” platform to the ” SKS ” platform for shooting as well as collecting, and the 7.62mm X 39mm Soviet Round is just a great all around fun gun round. Other guns that i collect are S & W .357s, M1911A1 .45 APCs, 12 gage military pump shotguns, M1A1s and M1903A1 Springfields. ( I do like firearms, so I collect what i like ) ENJOY !

Nice collection of AK variants.I never liked the SKs much,cheap as dirt about 20 years ago,under 100$.I see you have one,why not with all them AKs..The AKs match the reliability of the M14,which in my estimation is possibly the FINEST Battle Rifle ever built.7.62×51 and accurate hundreds of yards further than the 7.62×39 AK round as you well know owning M1A1s and the ought 6 Springfields also were superbly accurate when set up as sniper rifles,which I see you also have,Nice AK collection Ray.IMO those being deployed to the desert AGAIN should be trained on M14s and M16s and variants such as M4s,and give Mr Ronnie Barrett lots of bidness too,for those lazy days when you just don’t feel like humping to setup,but just walking outside and taking care of bidness.
That being said,these leftard “resistance” lunatics ought to watch a couple episodes of “Three Gun Nation” before embarking on some quest of being some kind of a gunslinger making history and not,in reality,a fool on a fools errand of TREASON.
I’ll add that I would like to see a M14 battle rifle similar to the M1 tanker model M1 rather than the M16s/M4s used by at least the Marine Corps in it’s entirety and SPECOPS type units [GBs Rangers] and again,IMO they just go back to the M14 as issue weapons.The argument that “you can carry more ammo with an M16” goes out the window when you compare the M14 rounds ballistic performance to the M16/M4s and the reliability of the M14 platform compared to the 16/4 platforms,as issued.
It’s a damned good thing this baseball game shooter was just a loudmouth communist loving lunatic,firearms dilettante and not a real shooter.
It could have been much,much worse.
The Great and Living God protects his people from evil,sometimes with “We the People” themselves and their arms in the right place at the right time to change the outcome.This is one of those cases IMO.

His ENTIRE mass of leftard/nazi agended organizations NEED to be identified and targeted as “domestic terror organizations” and shut down and their coffers drained/confiscated to prevent further attacks on the basic FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS of Human Beings.

I’d bet if you followed the $$$$ it would lead back to George Soros.
SPLC is populated with a variety of Anti Americans,Anti Freedom,Anti White,Anti gun scumbags and hard left leftards.
They can ALL walk under a snakes belly with a top hat on and not touch it.
THEY are part and parcel to the problems going on.They have a “Hatewatch” list.I’m on it and consider it to be an honor to be on it.
They make “Lists” of their “enemies” and put them out there for their “useful idiots” to hopefully give grief to.
I say they belong right close to the top of the “list of enemies” supporters of MAGA/PRESIDENT Trump need to make.
The day is coming…………..
They want to be shooting at innocent people?They’re no better than a slimeball islamoterrorist murderer.
Yeah,that was just a fantastic display of their marksmanship skills,and brave too,bet he was in for the shock of his life when people started shooting back.
Bushwacking cowardly PUNK,shooting UNARMED PEOPLE.
THANK GOD THEY CAN’T SHOOT FOR SH*T.
Me,I can shoot 10 out of 10 at 500 yds in the X with an M14 w standard peep sight.

Why isn’t the Southern Poverty Law Center labeled as a terrorist group? Because the lunatics are still running the asylum, that’s why. We can see the leftist double standard just by the way they libel conservatives while protesting our factual criticisms of them. Leftists are liars. They use pragmatic tactics to get what they want and they don’t care how immoral they become.
