Terrible tragedy. Where were the miracles to prevent this?

Alex   July 28th, 2008 - 1:29 pm

More people DIDN’T die. I’d call that a miracle.

Bobo   July 28th, 2008 - 1:38 pm

The gunman claims that he did it to attack the church’s liberal policies.

I guess I’m not a good enough Conservative, because the idea of attacking Libs with a shotgun and 70 rounds of ammo doesn’t work for me AT ALL.

Alex   July 28th, 2008 - 1:45 pm

That dufus is obviously not me. Their should be a low.

Pastor Steve Noonan   July 28th, 2008 - 1:47 pm

Greg McKendry was probably too obese to get out of the way.

Alex   July 28th, 2008 - 1:47 pm

Sorry, your right. I should take my Prozac. Thnks for the heads up.

Looney tunes   July 28th, 2008 - 1:48 pm

WWJD, the Lord will punish you quick. Repent, you bastrad.

Bobo   July 28th, 2008 - 1:49 pm

Whip him hard with a cat-o-nine-dead-fetuses, Lonney.

Pastor Tom Ramirez   July 28th, 2008 - 1:51 pm

You guys are all sick. May you rot in Heaven.

Pastor Brian Butler   July 28th, 2008 - 1:53 pm

You pastors can’t be reel pastors, because reel pastros would not say such things. The Lord reads everything.

The Lord   July 28th, 2008 - 1:54 pm

I read that. You are in deep feces.

Paster Quickly   July 28th, 2008 - 1:54 pm

Did they find any answers?

Pastor Brian Butler   July 28th, 2008 - 1:54 pm

Answers about what?

Paster Quickly   July 28th, 2008 - 1:58 pm

About the questions, Pastor Brian.

I’ll add more place settings at the table….

Pat   July 28th, 2008 - 2:12 pm

This guy is a hero, and some of you are saying bad things about the guy, good for you

Dave   July 28th, 2008 - 2:16 pm

That’s deep, Pat. Bad-good. Lovely juxtaposition. You are a poet, do you know it?

[...] Breitbart also has an excellent video about this tragic story. [...]

Jim O Toast   July 28th, 2008 - 2:28 pm

It’s official now. He’s a hero. Its’ been verified by the Hero Committee. Not obese and unable to escape, as Pastor Steve Noonen so grossly suggested. In fact, he’s having his stomach stapled even as I speak.

Bobo   July 28th, 2008 - 3:03 pm

I’m the REAL Bobo – the imposter below is a drooling retard who can’t come up with his own name

Whip him hard with a cat-o-nine-dead-fetuses, Lonney.

Liberals are heathens who don’t go to church according to the neoCONs. Thanks to the “so called” liberal media like FOX and uhm…you know…there is going to be lots more CONs shooting liberals after November. The fascists know what’s coming, don’t you losers.

R.J.   July 28th, 2008 - 4:17 pm

I wonder if the shooter was SoCals brother. Brother in arms at least.

Pastor Bater   July 28th, 2008 - 4:43 pm

Unitarians? Bah. The only time you hear the name “Jesus Christ” in one of their churches is when the janitor falls down the stairs.

R.J.   July 28th, 2008 - 5:04 pm

NeoCONs kill Muslims to prove that God is on their side. Now they’re killing Unitarians and liberals for the same reason. You guys make Jesus so proud.

Lipoman   July 28th, 2008 - 5:23 pm

It’s legally wrong to kill anybody unless in selfdefense, you are a soldier following orders, a home owner who sees someone on your property or touching it, or a executioneer carrying out the wishes of the People, but these phony-”Christian” Libs were just asking for it. Bet they wish they hadn’t passed all those gun control laws now.

R.J.   July 28th, 2008 - 5:38 pm

Lipoman proves my point.

I. G. Nernt   July 28th, 2008 - 5:59 pm

Prbbly Obama supprtesrs. This man wus fighting for cHristian valuse and . He shoult be held up as a shinigng star for all good chRitains . These liberals wouldnt no Jesus if he walked in the door. They’re burning in Hell now. Praise the LOrd~!

Bobo   July 28th, 2008 - 6:17 pm

No I am the real Bobo. So there. Where’s Spartacus?

Bemm   July 28th, 2008 - 6:20 pm

…and America under George Bush continues its slide to the gutter…………..

(THATS just to rile up the usual posters here…)

True though, aint it?

Spartacus   July 28th, 2008 - 10:41 pm

I am Spartacus.

Try 【R i c h Ma tch Mak i ng . c o m】a hot place (celebrity&millionai res) to meet beautiful girls and rich guys~!

Paster Quickly   July 28th, 2008 - 10:46 pm

Thanks Jessica. I will be there quickly. You can have the rich guys . . .

I. G. Nernt   July 28th, 2008 - 11:29 pm

Thank you for posting that Jessica. I love spam. Can I give you all my email addresses so you can choke my inbox?

Ron Reagan   July 28th, 2008 - 11:34 pm

What about if he had pushed some other guy’s body in the way? He would have saved lives that way too. (Thanks, Jim.)

Tosca   July 29th, 2008 - 6:05 pm

A friend of mine attends that church and she tells me that he screamed “this one is for JC!” right before he opened up both barrels on those libs.

He was dittohead, I’m sure of it.

Bill O'Reilly   July 29th, 2008 - 6:06 pm

It was those people’s San Francisco values that got them killed. So be it say I!

You wouldn’t catch me in one of the MoveOn.Org Churches, I’d rather sit at home playing with my Falafel or perhaps my Loofah.

What pinheads!
