Just as I predicted they would be.

Fox's Geraldo Rivera Shames Orlando Victims For Not Fighting Back

GERALDO RIVERA: When you're in that situation and you have no weapons, you have two choices. If you can't hide and you can't run, you have two choices. You stay and die, or you fight. For God's sakes, fight back. Fight back. There’s 100 people that he murdered with one weapon that he reloaded. When he reloaded they must, people must, America must understand, we are at war with Islamic terror, with these terrorists. We've got to stop them in Raqqa, we've got to stop them in Mosul, and we've got to stop them in the Pulse, Orlando.

WND Has Trouble With the 'Gay' Part of Gay Nightclub Shooting
Topic: WorldNetDaily

At WorldNetDaily, the deaths of 50 people in a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando was horrific -- just not horrific enough for it to let go of its long-held anti-gay biases.

WND's early reports on the massacre made sure to cling to its ridiculous insistence on putting "gay" in scare quotes, as this front-page promo illustrates:

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 6/13/2016 10:55 am

Fresh from congratulating himself “for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,” Donald Trump made the rounds on the morning shows today, where he hinted that President Obama may actually be rooting for the terrorists.

Alex Jones: Orlando Attack Was A False Flag

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 6/13/2016 10:40 am

Yesterday, InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said that the brutal attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, was all part of a massive government scheme to flood America with Muslims so that they will commit terrorist attacks, thereby giving the government a reason to confiscate firearms and outlaw hateful speech.

“Our governments are bringing these people in and they’re allowing them to operate openly in our society so they can attack us and then have our freedoms taken,” Jones said.

Despite his suggestion, the shooter was a U.S.-born citizen.

Walid Shoebat: 'The Only Ones Moaning Over Fifty Gays Slaughtered Are Liberals, Idiots And Gay Lovers'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 6/13/2016 10:15 am

Walid Shoebat, a supposed ex-terrorist who is now an extremist anti-Islam and anti-gay activist, responded to this weekend's massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, by attacking gays, Jews, and liberals and declaring that it ought to be illegal to be gay or Muslim in America.

Shoebat was especially upset with "dumb Jews" like Sam Seder, who mocked him for saying that he refuses to fly on commercial airlines because a pilot may be a Muslim:

"The FBI doesn’t care since the system is impossible to fix unless of course to be “Muslim” should be illegal and to be “Gay” should also be illegal since gays are disgusting and are Muslim-loving anti guns."

I would use language so caustic that it could peel paint off the walls.

They are full of enough hate, no reason for me to add to the hate in this world.

It's damned tempting to respond in kind, though.
