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."

Of course they do. They can’t get jobs with competent law firms so they work for the aCLU. Retards. Dean’s list bottom dwellers.

I thought satire was supposed to be noted with the post?

I wonder why it took them so long to come up with this brilliant analysis!

Queer? A slur that became a descriptor?

I think we should cut the dude some slack. It must be tough going through life with a name like Chase Strangio!

huh? Do you think he really believes this? If he does, shouldn’t his mind be dissected for study?

Does he know what sharia says about gays, how they’re throwing them off of roofs for laughs? Burning women alive in cages?

These people are our enemy folks. Dont care if they’re US citizens. They’re our enemy.

Liberals are amazingly stupid and dishonest creatures. An Islamic terrorist murders 50 people and it is the fault of peaceful people who don’t support policies such as forcing girls to shower with men.

They know this does not bode well for Hillary Clinton so they’re doubling down on their BS hoping to seize the initiative and, thereby, control the narrative going forward.

This morning I predicted exactly this, sad to say.....

Not that it was difficult to guess that “LGBT” activists would turn a mass killing by an Islamo-fascist into a political onslaught against real Americans....

There you go - the reason this was posted so long after the event is that they had to get together to spin yarns. Surely this is about as far-fetched as they come. Can we declare the ACLU illegal, please? Let’s call it treasonous.

Yes, of course, Trump and Christians are responsible for what a subhuman savage Muslim did yelling allaku Akbar.
