FBI video: Domestic terrorist says he targeted conservative group for being ‘anti-gay’

Family Research Council (FRC) officials released video of federal investigators questioning convicted domestic terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins II, who explained that he attacked the group’s headquarters because the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) identified them as a “hate group” due to their traditional marriage views.

“Southern Poverty Law lists anti-gay groups,” Corkins tells interrogators in the video, which FRC obtained from the FBI. “I found them online, did a little research, went to the website, stuff like that.”

The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reported that Corkins, who pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, said in court that he hoped to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” As Bedard explained, “the shooting occurred after an executive with Chick-Fil-A announced his support for traditional marriage, angering same-sex marriage proponents.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center still lists FRC as an “anti-gay” hate group on the “hate map” Corkins used. “The SPLC’s reckless labeling has led to devastating consequences,” said FRC President Tony Perkins. “Because of its ‘hate group’ lists, a deadly terrorist had a guidemap to FRC and other organizations. Our staff is still reeling from the attack, and the chilling effect this could have on organizations that are simply fighting for their values is outrageous.”

so what will happen to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for inciting terrorism and hate crimes?

is SPLC a hate group?

yup...it's starting.
a stand for God's Truth is hate.

I'd best get busier memorizing the New Testament, and hiding pages of it here and there.

"hate laws". yup.

I have about six Gideon new testaments, and as a Lab assistant we collect them and put them in the lost and found. I think I'm going to go around and unlost those bibles. :)

You have to remember though, if you attack the FRC it's an act of liberation.

the Salvation Army still gives the little Gideons away, i believe.
you have to ask for them now and can only get a few at once.
haven't asked for any for a couple years.
they were behind the counter last time.
love them.

I just stock pile, I feel sorry for the little fellers when someone leaves them out on the ground, or on a desk.

While I disagree with the violent act the FRC are a bunch of nutjobs.

Indeed. :)

Memorizing it for myself...hiding it to share with others.
And then, I guess writing it down for others!
