Do you think the Louisiana Shooter represents Conservatives, Tea Partiers and White people?

[Pogo]

After JFK was shot, liberals tried to blame the entire state of Texas for killing him.

Link?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Er..no, he doesn't represent them. What a ridiculous question, why do you give any credence to such nonsense?

Why? It's not to lend credence to anything, but to force people who think such to defend that position.

So far, the only poster who's tried to pin this guy down to an ideology in this thread is declaring him a "leftist".

I notice you haven't "forced " him to "defend his position"...

Bravoactual, g5, Synthaholic

None of them have posted in this thread, yet now 3 or 4 posters in this thread have called him a leftist or an "Obama supporter".

Why haven't you called them out, too? Are you just interested in protecting "your side", or do you agree with them?

 

[BULLDOG]

Well if no one can supply a link to this guy all I have to go on is Lafayette, which is a town I know as the "capital" of Acadiana. So I'm going to ass-ume this Houser guy represents all Cajuns.

Clearly Cajunism is an evil religion and they need to be deported back to Nova Scotia.

How'd I do in the USMB cum hoc fallacy derby?

Here is a link you asked for to his tea party page. It was started a couple of years ago.

[occupied]

The guy was filled with the same unfocused rage and fear that seems to be common among the the fringe right. He was not representative on the last day of his life but before that he was no different than many thousands of other internet cranks that infest the online community looking for kindred spirits. If unbalanced people like that did not have such a ready source of confirmation for their phantom fears maybe they would get some help before they totally lose their shit.

 

[NYcarbineer]

He represents conservatives, including you, as much as the Chattanooga shooter represented Muslims.

 

[Leweman]

So John Houser doesn't represent right wingers? Why were so many of his posts so similar to many right wingers here? How do you explain his advocating the same things so many right wingers here advocate? How do you explain his whining about the exact same things so many right wingers here whine about

Obama whines a lot too. People die as a consequence. Is that your fault?

Pretty weak response. Are you trying to compare Obama to he shooter, or say it was Obama's fault? Either way........pretty dumb.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That was the dumb thing in the thread.

 

[koshergrl]

Why would you want them to defend a stupid position that has no credibility?

Surely they must have reasons for why they are labeling him as the posterboy for conservatism, so, I want them to explain why.

You labeled him as a conservative in your op. You are the problem. You didn't ask why he was being labeled as a conservative. You asked if, as a conservative, he represents all conservatives. In doing so, you appear to make the assumption YOURSELF that he's a conservative, thus perpetuating the myth. Thanks a lot.

 

[TemplarKormac]

TK's stupid thread assumes he really is a conservative, really is an acknowledge "tea partier" (whatever that is) and that we need to explain why it is that he doesn't represent us.

Ahh, but multiple stories have come out saying he was.

HE represents USMB.

Well he certainly represents some of the more insane progressive elements of usmb.

Something like that. Dont care if he is right or left. He is a racist gerrorist....cultivated by a hate site called USMB. I wonder if DHS is now gonna listen to the alerts I have sent them

He wasn't cultivated. If he was cultivated he'd still be posting stupid shit in here, and people would get banned for repeating what he said, but he wouldn't get banned. THAT'S how they cultivate around here.

They cultivate hate here. Racists recruit and plan...usmb encourages it and bans anyone who reject the hate narrative

 

[2aguy]

I'm seeing it all over the board today; liberals jumping on the fact that John Houser was a white conservative tea partier, and thus must represent them. As stereotypic as that might be, lets answer the question. Does he really represent them?

No...that isn't accurate...he allegedly praised hitler... a left wing socialist...no way he was a Tea party member or a conservative....those philosophies are completely opposite of the national socialists....but that won't stop the left from lying about the guy...

 

[LoneLaugher]

The answer is no. He doesn't represent conservatives or tea partiers ( as if the two are different ) nor white people in general.

He is a nutcase who may or may not have been radicalized or influenced by the incessant bullshit fear mongering that permeates conservative media in America. It will take some time and thorough investigation before that is known.

The OP struggles with identity politics to an unhealthy degree. In fact...many of the people or groups that TK identifies with have less than desirable traits...so he is constantly defending them and himself. It must get tedious.

Good grief you sound as crazy as the shooter. Shut the fuck up and sit down before Obama sends the IRS to audit you and rough you up.

About like Westboro Baptist Church and Fred Phelps represent all Libs!!!!

Yeah, people dont know that phelps was a gore supporter......

Okay then... I'm going based off of what I'm reading, from both sides of the political spectrum. I'm sorry you don't like the reality of this situation, kosher, but this time there's no denying it.

You make a pretty good argument that free, unregulated speech is dangerous, and therefore should be outlawed by the government.

Maybe you should move to Iran, Syria, or North Korea, where you will find people who agree with you.

"Houser is also known as Rusty Houser, and apparently has a presence on social media as an outspoken conservative.

The last thing someone posting as Rusty Houser posted on Facebook was in 2013, when he linked to an article called "A woman's place in the church and the weak church elder," according to KATC-TV.

He wrote, "The bible doesn't ask me to like what it says, only to obey it. Death comes soon to the financially failing filth farm called the US."

He only had two things liked on Facebook, among them "I hate liberals!""
