Media Whitewashes Liberal Gay Rights "Nut Job" Floyd Lee Corkins

28-year-old Democratic gay rights advocate Floyd Lee Corkins II, from Virginia, shows up at the Christian Conservative Family Research Council in DC, Chik-fil-A bags in tow, walks in with a loaded weapon and starts shooting. Before he opens fire, he mentions something about not liking FRCs policies [on gay marriage].  He wounds a guard who manages, with the help of others, to overpower Corkins, and prevent a potential massacre.

How long did that story stay in the mainstream media?  Not long at all. Of course, had it been a right wing-nut job attacking some liberal organization, we'd still be hearing about it. But since it was a liberal-nut job, it's no big deal.

Corkins had apparently volunteered at the DC Center for the LGBT Community.  The executive director, David Mariner,  condemned the attack- as did 40 other LGBT organizations- saying:

"I was shocked to hear that someone who has volunteered with the DC Center could be the cause of such a tragic act of violence. No matter the circumstances, we condemn such violence in the strongest terms possible. We hope for a full and speedy recovery for the victim and our thoughts are with him and his family."

Are the media and police officials taking the attack seriously? It doesn't seem like it. The Hollywood Reporter mentions this:

Despite the Chick-fil-A connection, his activities as a gay-rights activist and the shooter's reference to what FRC "stands for," law enforcement officials were careful not to imply a motive while speaking to the press.

"We don't know enough about him or his circumstances ... we are going to try to sort this all out, pull the evidence and do all the interviews we can," FBI agent James McJunkin told ABC News.

The motive seems pretty darn obvious. Some news reports did say the FBI were treating it as a case of domestic terrorism, whether that sticks is another story.

Corkin's 9mm handgun was legal, and purchased "fairly recently", which would indicate that it was purchased specifically for this attack.

I doubt we'll hear too much more about this whole incident.

Fired! Liberal Chik-fil-A Bully Loses Job As CFO

Adam  Smith, who mercilessly harassed a Chik-fil-A employee (and stupidly taped himself doing so)  has been fired from his job as CFO and Treasurer of Vante, a medical equipment company in Tucson, Arizona. 

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith’s actions against Vante and its employees.

Also an adjunct professor at Eller College in Tucson, it looks like he's no longer working there either.

Oops.

He could have made his 'statement' without being nasty and disparaging.

Karma's a b$#tch, as they say.

Pompous Liberal Lays Into Chik-fil-A Employee- Video

Your typical pompous liberal ass, Adam M. Smith, tries to give a Chik-fil-A employee Rachel a lesson in morality.

"I don't know how you live with yourself and work here. I don't understand it.  This is a horrible corporation, with horrible values."

Well, Adam, this is still a free country, and right or wrong everyone is entitled to his/her own set of
values. And in case you didn't know, every corporation donates to causes and organizations that probably half of its employees oppose. I guess that means that those people should quit their jobs too? I assume that's what you wanted poor Rachel to do. And in case you didn't know, it's not that easy getting a job in today's economy.  Maybe you'd like to support Rachel and all the other Chik-fil-A employees you think should quit their jobs?   My unions donate to liberal causes, guess I should quit my unions? And as far as fast food corporations go, most are into selling franchises.  Maybe, just maybe, those owners don't donate to the same organizations that the corporate heads do.

It's not nice to pick on Chik-fil-A employees. If you have a beef with Dan Cathy, the president- who was the one who sounded off on gay marriage- send him all your hate-filled invective. For all you know one of those employees you are harassing could be gay. And there are gay people working at Chik-fil-As.

And, believe it or not, there are gays who don't support the boycott, just like there are gays who couldn't care less about the whole gay marriage issue.

Apparently, Adam realized his stupidity and pulled his video from YouTube, and then removed his LinkedIn profile. Smart move.  Thankfully it was saved by some bloggers since it's a  great demonstration on how nasty liberals can get.

Rachel is to be commended for her composure.

UPDATE:  The video has no been removed, but here's an interview on Fox where Smith talks about his apology. There are snippets of his harassment here.
