ACLU lawyers blame 'Christian right,' GOP for Orlando terrorist attack
Washington Examiner ^ | June 12, 2016 | Joel Gerhke

Christian conservatives are responsible for the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando because they "created this anti-queer climate," according to American Civil Liberties Union attorneys.

"You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate," ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted on Sunday morning.

About 50 people were killed last night by Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen born to Afghan parents suspected to have "leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies." The FBI is investigating the attack as a "domestic terror incident."

But Strangio — who "spend[s his] life fighting Christian homophobia while being loved & supported by [his] Muslim family" — and his colleagues connected the shooting back to Christians and Republican politicians who oppose gay marriage. "The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this," Strangio tweeted. "No."

....Christian conservatives are responsible for the mass shooting at a gay bar in Orlando because they “created this anti-queer climate...

Really, Christians ordered murder of gays and all unbeli!vers and that climate in the Koran?
Politicizing this by the left is in warp drive.

Surely you jest, ACLU.

The ACLU conveniently ignores the fact LGBTQ people are frequently executed in public in Islamic cultures--look at the various videos ISIS has posted of public execution of gays. As such, what happened last night was a Muslim man was who influenced by the Jihadist teachings (easily found online) against homosexuality and used his power as an armed security guard to carry out those Jihadist teachings to the tune to 50 dead and 53 seriously wounded.

Muslim’s have been doing these things for over a thousand years, yet the guy blames the GOP and Trump? He’s seriously unbalanced, if he really believes this and isn’t just on his third bloody mary.

Most of what could be termed ‘polite society’ have long recognized gaggles like LGBT as anathema to decency. However, today we have a central socialist government gushing over these unfortunate psychologically confused individuals and placing them atop pedestals.

I’m sorry we have Muslim killers unleashed upon our society chiefly by government idiotic policies, but smiling upon ‘Gay Pride’ days and not recognizing the evil that homosexuality deposits on society is simply wrong headed.

What a dilemma for a psychologically confused phony president to have two of his favorite groups involved in bloody front page massacres.

ACLU...change your name, you losers. I suggest: Anti-American Mentally Ill Lawyers Union. This guy who did this tweet should fired because his idiocy is now completely revealed.

I think he was a woman as well so the name may be made up to reflect the person. From the tweet he/she sounds a little unhinged.

Of course it is their fault. Pfft. The sharia shooter was in that club murdering people for 20 min. when he called 9/11. He said he was with Isis and praised the Boston Marathon killers. He also yelled Alah Akbar too. All Christians fault alright.

Illogical and incoherent rant by ACLU nitwit:
ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted... "spend my life fighting Christian homophobia while being loved & supported by my Muslim family" -- and his colleagues connected the shooting back to Christians and Republican politicians who oppose gay marriage. "The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this," Strangio tweeted. "No."

Let the left squirm. This one's on them totally. Anything they throw at us, I can fire back with an NRA Video.

They can't try to pass this off. The trauma is still there for them. They are in denial. Real Americans know who and what is behind this. They cannot spin this one.
