Hmm. Interesting that the media is ignoring the fact that the misogynist who murdered a bunch of women in a gym because he couldn't get laid (and after all, he was entitled to sex), was a Republican Obama-hater!
A sexually frustrated, woman-hating, armed, and violent Republican?
What a shock.
Like many other news organizations, the Associated Press today is reprinting excerpts from the online diary kept by George Sodini, who killed three women and then himself at a Pittsburgh area fitness center last night. The diary focuses on his severe problems with women (surely his biggest motivator in the slayings) and other worries related to family and layoffs. But it also includes comments about the "liberal media," the "Obama economy" -- and it opens with remarks about last fall's election, the election of "The Black Man" and jokes about black men bedding white women.
All of this was left out of the AP excerpts and nearly everywhere else, including a new New York Times account.
Interestingly, at this afternoon's press conference, the local police chief was asked about any racial aspect to the shooting. He denied it but some may have wondered why the question even arose (the shooter and all victims were white).
In addition, I have located, with some digging, a March 13, 1994 Web posting by Sodini at a Whitewater news group which reads in full:
I got a bumper sticker that reads: "Stop Socialism Impeach Clinton" from an ad in National Review magazine. There are many neat buttons and stickers and things advertised in those conservative magazines
And on Sept. 9, 1995, he posted on a "activism.militia" newsgroup the following:
I am convinced that more drastic action is required to bring the country back to the Constitutional order that it was 200 years ago. I don't think any group of political leaders will achieve this for us.
