The Tea Party member and Westboro Baptist supporter (theater shooter)

John Russel Houser was both a supporter of the far-right Tea Party and the extremist Christian Westboro Baptist Church, web accounts connected to the 59-year-old Louisiana theater shooter reveal. Houser, who goes by the name Rusty, committed suicide Thursday night after opening fire in a screening of the movie Trainwreck at a Lafayette, Louisiana theater- killing two others and injuring nine. At a morning press conference, police did not reveal much about the gunman, other than that he was a 'drifter' who appears to have worked alone and had disguises in his motel room - indicating that he planned to escape.

They’re trying to up with a name just like they did with the Aurora theater shooting that was incorrect. They’re doing it again.

There is NOTHING Christian about the Westboro BAPTIST Church! NOTHING!!! REAL Christian Baptists should demand they change their name.

AT THIS HOUR (mind you that might change), the meme hasn’t sparked yet, but I have no doubt by the evening news, it will.

Local ABCObama affiliate was vanilla thus far...

I don’t think it is possible to be both a Tea Party member and a Westboro Baptist Church member.

Tea Party and Westboro no congruency there.

I’ll wait for the rest of the story because I don’t believe this one.

Houser appeared on a local TV show many times in the early 1990s. He boasted on LinkedIn that he “Invited political controversy on every one of them, and loved every minute of it.”

The host told NBC News Friday morning that Houser was a “radical guy.” “He was on from time to time because he was a very radical person with radical views,” Calvin Floyd said. Floyd also answered “no” when asked if he was surprised that Houser is accused of shooting up the Louisiana movie theater. “The association I had with him was for entertainment,” he said. “He was very entertaining. He made for good TV and when it was over, you would leave shaking your head.”

Seems to me that someone who identified with the "Tea Party" would have nothing to do with WBC.

But the scrambled brains of lefties are bereft of logic. Like Pavlov's dogs, they immediately start drooling at the very idea.

Why is it that based on sketchy information, the media is tying this guy to the tea party? But when Muslims commit their horrors, there is never enough evidence for the media to tie them to radical Islam????

DM: “......Houser also had a profile on the conservative website Tea Party Nation, in which he described himself as ‘very conservative’ and asked for help finding white-power groups.....

He will be confirmed to be a Tea Party member by five o’clock.

We’ll still be waiting for Abdulazeez to be confirmed as a Jihadist six weeks from now.

Maybe this is “reichstag-y” but if they yell too loud, it will raise the spectre of all the liberal loon shooters in the past...not that a single lefty news object would report the truth!

Thats why the coloration will not jive. He didn’t target blacks or gays, he just shot up a bunch of random white people.
