He was well read, too

Jim Adkisson, the man who shot two people to death in a Tennessee Unitarian church this week because he was angry at “liberals and gays,” had an array of right-wing books at his home. Inside his house, “officers found ‘Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder’ by radio talk show host Michael Savage, ‘Let Freedom Ring’ by talk show host Sean Hannity, and ‘The O’Reilly Factor,’ by television talk show host Bill O’Reilly.”

Are you surprised? You shouldn't be. In reading that article Adkisson sounds like one of the America-hating wingnuts who's a 'regular' here. I bet you he's read those same books and he certainly writes a lot of those same rantings.
"... because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets."
Also, great piece at AlterNet that goes into the 'Freepers' (sic) at Free Republic and their sick and twisted, Right-Wing Pathologies on one of their new martyrs.
