Since this tragedy, I have seen liberals everywhere saying to conservatives "why are you praying if you hate gays?" or "Your party hates gays, why do you care?" I have seen it on politicians facebook pages, twitter, and more.

Here is Anderson Cooper being a douche to Pam Bondi:

Here are other examples from twitter:

(((Morgan Harris)))
‏@mharris621
@SenCapito Your prayers are worthless. You and your party are pro-massacre. Carry NRA water, you're complicit.

The Angry Liberal ‏@angryandliberal Jun 12
@Franklin_Graham You don't need to pray, Frank. You need to stop contributing to the hatred of LGBT people with your ignorant rhetoric.

Michael ‏@humilitylove78 Jun 13
@Franklin_Graham your prayers do not mean it's people like You that create this kind of hatred and violence that we wind up..

Michael ‏@humilitylove78 Jun 13
@Franklin_Graham enduring in this country. How dare you have the nerve to even say the word gay you intolerant Nazi extremist. >

(I edited the cuss words, but everything else is word for word)

Ironic that they are the ones calling someone intolerant, yet they are the ones who think conservatives shouldn't be allowed to show compassion.

Why? Because conservatives like to discriminate against gays. Now they want to pretend they care. No ones buying it.

Just stop right there. Conservatives have a long history of hating gays and of using prayer ana religions and curses against us. Recall Falwell -- that gays "caused 911." So after all of these horrible, hurtful comments over these many, many years, do you really expect gays to trust conservatives? C'mon, you're being silly. Not going to happen.

And I doubt gays care if conservatives are showing "compassion," they just don't believe it is genuine and belive that were there no gravy to be made by the GOP, were there not the potential to score cheap political points, conservative wouldn't give two snaps about gays. I don't mistrust the enemy I don't know, I mistrust my enemy I do know.

Its the loss of a human life. I don't know any conservatives who want to see gays dead. There is a saying called "hate the sin, love the sinner." Did you expect them to be cheering because gays died? Remember, Hillary Clinton and Obama were against gay marriage not too long ago(probably still are, but that's a different subject). Does that mean they wouldn't have "cared" a few years ago? Its the loss of innocent Americans from terrorism. Anybody who is sane would show compassion. Even if they don't agree with gay marriage. You don't have to agree with someone to not love them.

So conservatives aren't allowed to show compassion over the loss of human life? That makes you the intolerant.

Because most true conservatives use there relegion as a weapon none of them really are in support for anything gay.

The brainwashing that occurs behind religious beliefs can cause someone to do great things, as well as horrific atrocities or pass stupid ass Laws like the conservatives do. History (past/present has shown this Religion creates intolerance.

Now all of a sudden the conservatives feel bad. Were you feeling bad when you were discriminating against them or trying to keep them from there civil rights?

Because prayers are empty gestures when they are uttered by Christian fundies like Graham who preach hate against gays 365 days a year. Or by right wingers who have fought against gay rights for years.

They want to "pray" for the people they work so hard to oppress. Pardon the rest of us while we gag on their hypocrisy.

Everybody should feel bad over the loss of lives. Even if they don't agree with their lifestyle. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

He chewed her behind to pieces. Had her stumbling. She is just trying to capitalize off the deaths of those people. While not long ago she was advocating against them.
