"What I would call an attack on religious freedom is trickling down in our country. It\u2019s not just isolated to the administration but it\u2019s as if the President and his administration\u2019s indifference towards religious freedom has really created an open season all across this country. In fact next week down in Tampa as the Republican National Committee begins its work on its platform we\u2019ll be working with Liberty Institute and we\u2019ll be releasing a study that shows this increased hostility towards religious freedom in this country and I believe Rick in large part it\u2019s driven in large part by the policies of this administration. […] Well I think as we witnessed this past week at the Family Research Council, clearly linked to that same atmosphere of hostility that\u2019s created by the public policies of an administration that\u2019s indifferent or hostile to religious freedom and groups like as I mentioned the Southern Poverty Law Center that recklessly throws around labels giving people like this gunman who came into our building a license to take innocent life."<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes, the implacable, unmistakable, day-by-day hostility (and\/or indifference) to religion of the Obama Administration gave a "license" to the shooter. You heard it here first.<\/p>\n

I'd like to think that this would completely destroy any<\/i> credibility that Tony "Gays are\u00a0hateful, vile, spiteful pawns of the Enemy" Perkins would have in defining what represents irresponsible, hateful, and\/or inciting speech. \u00a0But no doubt his followers and contributors will lap it up and add it to their election rhetoric.<\/p>\n
