Is #VVS13 ‘Extremist’? Floyd Corkins Could Not Be Reached for Comment

“This marked the first time that a defendant has been charged with and convicted of committing an act of terrorism under a provision of the District of Columbia’s Anti-Terrorism Act of 2002 . . .
“Corkins targeted the Family Research Council because of its views, including its advocacy against recognition of gay marriage. He entered the building with the intention of shooting and killing as many employees of the organization as he could.”
— U.S. Department of Justice

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) spokesman Floyd Lee Corkins II did not issue a statement denouncing this weekend’s Family Research Council (FRC) Value Voter Summit, mainly because Corkins is in federal prison serving 25 years for his Chick-fil-A-inspired attempt to kill everybody at FRC with the guidance of an SPLC “hate map.”

With one murderous deviant lunatic safely behind bars, another flaky weirdo was authorized to speak for the SPLC terrorist gang:

Members of Congress urged to not legitimize
extremism by speaking at Values Voter Summit
A coalition of human rights groups is calling on members of Congress and other public officials not to speak at the upcoming Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., because the event host and its key co-sponsor — the Family Research Council (FRC) and the American Family Association (AFA) — have long records of vilifying the LGBT community and spreading other forms of bigotry.
“Public officials need to know the real ‘values’ they’re endorsing when they attend the Values Voter Summit,” said Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project. “Offensive and bigoted lies are not magically transformed into the truth just because a group with the word ‘family’ in its name keeps repeating them.”

Translation: Don’t hang around people we call bigoted extremists, or one of our crazed gay killers might shoot you because . . . tolerance!

    Corkins is probably enjoying his role as prison bitch.

    Wow, spokesmouth of SPLC describing their MO >> “Offensive and bigoted lies are not magically transformed into the truth just because a group with the word ‘family’ in its name keeps repeating them.”

    SPLC should be closed down for being purveyor’s of hate crimes.

    SPLC was exposed about 15 years ago as a sleazy direct mail mill. The article skewering it appeared in Harper’s. That journalists ever quote it is indicative of a mixture of ignorance and fraudulence. Weigel in his article on the SPLC never mentions any of the dirt on them.

    No moron, what is happening around you on a minute by minute and second by second basis. The fact you didn’t understand the remark about food and being hungry belies tha e fact you are not aware of the nationwide shutdown of foodstamp benefits today nor the impending riots in many localities this situation has led to.
    Talk about a self-rightous noob …

    October 12th, 2013 @ 10:08 pm

    Oh wait, I get it, you’re some half-wit who assumes because I think you’re ideology is washed up I must be on food stamps and heir having some kind of issue with the cards, correct? Got it, moron. No, I’m an employed college grad who can easily provide for himself. I do have an Aunt who uses EBT but she’s a single, elderly woman on a very fixed income and suffering from a terminal illness so if you feel it makes you a better person to belittle people like that, be my guest, loser. But I have to wonder what Jesus would think and what all that “value voting” means when you’re such a rotten sh*tbird?

  39. MrFox1
    October 12th, 2013 @ 10:11 pm

    I don’t collect food stamps so wouldn’t be aware of such a thing and second, I don’t think the issue is a problem where I live. I have a feeling people unable to collect their EBT benefits fills you with a kind of perverse joy.

    October 12th, 2013 @ 10:20 pm

    Au contrare! Hungry children are a shameful thing for a country as prosperous as ours.
    EBT is down across the nation, as in everywhere. Unless you live OCONUS or on the moon, your neighborhood is affected. If not directly then indirectly through family members of your house-keeper, maid, cook or au pair.

    The SPLC is hate. Like all Libtard organizations, it feeds by scaring people, or taking advantage of their ignorance. There used to evidence, for example, of ADL coordinating activities with the American Nazi Party. It turned out that George Lincoln Rockwell was, supposedly, Jewish himself.
