Adkisson pleads guilty, has nothing to say. (http://www.metafilter.com/79016/Adkisson-pleads-guilty-has-nothing-to-say)
"This was a symbolic killing," (http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/feb/09/knoxville-church-shooter-was-hate-crime/) Adkisson wrote. "Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate and House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_People_Who_Are_Screwing_Up_America) I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I knew these people were inaccessible to me.
Today, Jim D. Adkisson pled guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jOAQKzY-aOBqDspFkEAV_ZO65vZAD968BSBO0)

John Bohstedt, one of the church members who tackled Adkisson, said he didn't believe Adkisson was insane, but was manipulated by rhetoric aimed at liberals.
"Unbalanced, yes. Bitter, yes. Evil, yes. Insane, not in our ordinary use of the word," Bohstedt said.
"There are a lot of people who hate liberals, and if we stir that around in the pot and on the airwaves, eventually there will be people (like Adkisson) ... who get infected by the violent rhetoric and put it into violent action," he said.
Bohstedt said he was worried about future violence: "Do you think there are other Jim Adkissons out there listening to hate speech? I do."

Sounds like another liberal wanting to curtail free speech. :whatever:
