Horrifying

This morning the First Lady commented that the racist murders committed by nutter in South Carolina were particularly horrifying because they happened in a church.  Why "particularly horrifying"? Mrs. Obama didn't say, but what makes the church massacre particularly vile is a combination of white supremacy (nurtured by some Republican leaders) and God's inexplicable failure to protect hopeful houses of worship. Churches are frequently soft targets of home-grown terrorists and, for that matter, of hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. It's as if God could not care less.

Fox News, a grinning tick that sucks blood from the edges of white supremacy, would have us believe the South Carolina massacre was an attack on religion, but the killer has made it clear that he was after African-Americans, not Christians.
