"Know this if nothing else: This was a hate crime."
This is not a "manifesto." Why is the "liberal media" calling it this?

This "manifesto" by Jim David Adkisson, the right wing lunatic who opened fire on a Unitarian church in Tennessee last July 27th, is not so much of a manifesto (the word irresponsibly elevates it to the level of an accepted and legitimate agenda or movement) as much as it's the diary of a diseased and disintegrating human mind. (More at the link.)

1. The letter was better organized than I thought it would be.
I wonder how many drafts he wrote. Too much time on your hands can be a terrible thing. It is amazing how every personal problem he said he had can be directly traced to an eroding social safety net and a mismanaged economy. It is also amazing how much power these people think liberals have. If we had that much power he would probably have had a good job or at least some help.
