It’s a stupid comparison.

It’s a fourth grade intellect that sees one event, and automatically assigns the same set of facts to an alternative event

It’s akin to saying, “I don’t like Trump” and the response is, “You love Obama.”

The two issues are not related, and the jump from one to the other is a chasm the size of the Grand Canyon.

( now wait for the responses saying I love gay marriage. It’s so predictable.)

It’s actually a great comparison.

Dylann Roof had pictures of a Confederate Flag and the Confederate Flag was banned.

WDBJ TV Killer had the Gay Rainbow flag (he was gay) in his house and, well, shouldn’t it be banned as well?

Your analogy is incomplete.

It’s akin to saying, “I don’t like Trump” and the response is, “You love Obama.”

And then someone says, "I don't like Obama" and the response ISN'T, "You love Trump."

Holding to different standards. Yes, we see the "X, therefore P" as a non-sequitur and likewise "not X, therefore not P" (X and P having absolutely nothing to do with each other), that someone DOES hold a different axiom seeing a connection between X and P belies inconsistency (in the form of bigotry in this case) when they fail to acknowledge a connection (in THEIR axiom set, not ours) between !X and !P.
