The defensive crouch

Perhaps because it's easy to predict the massive resistance to any actual change, most of the pressure for a reaction to the South Carolina church massacre has focused on the Confederate flag.

But a few liberals are calling out the right as causing this kind of racism. Personally, I think it's hard to draw a causal connection. But Freepers so need to be oppressed that they flock to these few people. Then, their victimization fully engaged, it's time to say crazy and horrible things:

Steve_Seattle suddenly discovers that categorizing killers by some speculative political party is a bad idea:

I have to agree that we shouldn't play the political blame-game and say this shooting was caused by the country abandoning Christianity and Biblical values, or because of liberal Supreme Court decisions, or because of some other liberal trend. There have always been nut jobs like this, and there always will be.

NormsRevenge totally isn't looking forward to shooting blacks:

We know which wing wants a race war.. They been waging one for years and years..

tcrlaf is one of many to point out that other murders are a thing, which means this mass murder isn't a big deal:

Which reporter will have the balls to ask him the names of the blacks murdered in Baltimore, JUST THIS WEEK, live on air??

OH WAIT...
That would be racist or sumpin’, and would mean the end of the reporter’s career, right??

Welcome to mid-1930’s Germany, folks.

kiryandil reminds us who the real racists were, 70 years ago:

More than one of Clyburn's Democrat predecessors in South Carolina's 6th congressional district were probably members of the KKK.

Why don't you look into that, Jimmy?

Biggirl will never pass up a chance to imply a coming revolution:

“America has been on a hard-left swing for a while now, and the results we see are the results of that.”

For now that is.

the_daug blames a lack of prayer in school:

The symptom of a Godless push. Push God out of the public square out of the schools out of the military ect.

a fool in paradise

The Left Wing slouch and twitterverse outrage about white privilege, the sin of white devils, etc. isn’t to blame for anything. Nope, just those who break down and snap who were “driven” to it by ‘right wing media”.

No one is defending the actions of this killer. The Left is using the murders to smear the political opposition.

Texicanus thinks this is a good time to go off on how bad black people are:

Just a bunch of partisan politicians following the script. Screw Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) and the horse (excuse me, donkey) he rode in on.

Wonder who he’ll be voting for in 2016? I bet he’ll be voting to keep his darkies on the government plantation, supporting their right to abort their fatherless babies, splitting apart their traditional two-parent families and their responsibilities to raise up their children in a Christian home, giving up Jesus and supporting the MUSLIM religion of their ancestors enslavers, supporting the gay and lesbian lifestyles and such other abominations of mankind within their communities, denying them the formal education and skills that will let them lead independent lives, while giving their jobs to non-citizens and claiming it the name of justice and equality for the races. Lyndon Johnson would be proud of this a$$hole. Yep, they’ll be voting democratic as usual and expecting everything to be given to them. Wake up sheeple, you’re not going to a greener pasture, you’re being led to the slaughter house.

Texicanus follows by saying that if he had gone back in time and beat up the shooter things would have gone better:

What an a$$hole. He is too stupid or insane to know that burning flag represents our Constitution and the bravery of those people who have died to defend it. That is the only reason he is not hanging from the nearest tree.

If it were me, I would have taken that burning flag and threatened to shoved it up his skinny arse. If someone had done that, nine innocent people might have been spared and he could have changed his attitude and learned respect.

At least he didn’t commit his evil deed in Texas. I know Jesus forgives, but not Texas. It will kill you back. So don’t come to Texas if you’re looking to murder innocent people.

BTW, some of our most innocent looking people are packing heat and awaiting your arrival if you decide to come.

kenmcg would also like to react to this shooting of blacks by yelling about black crime rates:

Maybe Clyburn ought to look to his own people to learn why many whites distrust blacks. People are fed up with thugs wearing their pants around their knees and in every other word using the n word or mf. They are fed up with white women being the victims of rape and murder at the hands of black men. They are fed up with elderly white folks continually being assaulted and robbed. They are fed up with schools being dumbed down largely because of minority students who don't want to learn. They are fed up with decades of free programs for schemers who have no intention of working. Liberals are always blaming the right for racism, yet you never see these hypocrites moving into black areas. It's a damn shame nine innocents were slaughtered by a nut. Maybe Clyburn ought to look at the number of black folks who are murdered this weekend in every large liberal city, instead of blaming everything on white folks.

LibWhacker has an odd thing to blame:

Dylan Roof was a dedicated Redditor, one of the most extreme leftwing websites on the internet. A lot of leftwing racists over there.

Hugh the Scot hates how the left politicizes shootings:

So murder is about politics ... Maybe for the Dems it is.

If only they could disarm us all, we’d see that right up close.

Mmogamer is part of the growing truther movement, as is becoming de rigour whenever a shooter is white:

I still think it all looks like some kind of setup. Those pics just look to staged to me.
