In the wake of Wednesday’s shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, the liberal press pointed to something they considered an irony. Brian Levin wrote in the Huffington Post that he considered the act “a hate crime,” but that “[i]ronically, the FRC has been one of the most vigorous opponents of hate crime laws.” Talking Points Memo noted the alleged shooter, Floyd Lee Corkins, “could be prosecuted under a hate crimes statute. The FRC would rather he wasn’t.”
