A key leader of the Washington-based Family Research Council, the pro-family organization attacked by “gay” terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins, II, last year, says he is asking the government to stop utilizing the organization that likely influenced Corkins’ decision to attack innocent workers at FRC’s Washington office.

Retired Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, the executive vice president of FRC and also a member of the board of WND.com, also is asking the U.S. news media to stop citing reports, statements and claims from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which he said legitimizes the organization.

The reason is that Corkins, who has pleaded guilty to a charge of domestic terrorism, confirmed to the FBI that he obtained information about the FRC from the “hate group” listing posted online by the SPLC, and that’s how he picked his target.

According to the government’s sentencing memorandum in the case against Corkins, who is now expected to be sentenced sometime in June, the “mass killing of innocent civilians” was averted narrowly by “the heroic intervening actions of Leonardo Johnson, a building manager/security guard who was seriously injured as a result.”

It happened when Corkins came to the FRC office intending to shoot everyone he could, but was stopped by Johnson, who wrestled Corkins into submission even though he had been shot in the arm.

See “Jihad in America: The Grand Deception,” which reveals the threat that is hidden in plain sight for Americans.

Among the counts to which Corkins has pleaded guilty is an “Act of [Domestic] Terrorism while Armed.”

During an FBI interview of Corkins after he was taken into custody, an agent asked Corkins, “What was your intention … You’re … a political activist you said?”

Corkins responded: “Yeah, I wanted to kill the people in the building and then smear a Chicken-fil-A sandwich on their face.”

FBI: “And you, what was your intention when you went in there with the gun?”

Corkins: “Uh, it was to kill as many people as I could.”

Key to the case, according to the government’s document, was that “He had identified the FRC as an anti-gay organization on the Southern Poverty Law Center website.”

FRC officials repeatedly have explained they adhere to a biblical perspective on homosexuality, but are not “anti-gay.”

“Consistent with his statement to the FBI, a … search of Corkins’s family computer revealed that on the afternoon of Sunday, August 12, Corkins used the computer to visit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, as well as the websites for the FRC and the second organization on his handwritten list. The FBI later recovered from Corkins’s home several printed Mapquest and Google maps, dated August 12, 2012, for directions to the FRC and the second organization, as well as the pad of stationary paper used by Corkins to create his handwritten list of targets,” the government explained.

A video that has been assembled, from security cameras and other sources, of Corkins’ attack on the FRC, as well as his videotaped confession, is to be released tomorrow, FRC officials said. FRC President Tony Perkins is scheduled to be on a Fox News program with Megyn Kelly, where it is to be aired for the first time.

A WND message left with Rebecca Sturtevant of the SPLC requesting a comment did not generate a response.

Boykins told WND, however, that the video includes the interrogation by police “where he [Corkins] admits that he targeted us, as an ‘anti-gay’ group, because we were listed on the website of the SPLC, as a ‘hate group.’”

“It tells you the SPLC directly is connected to domestic terrorism,” Boykins told WND. “They are connected to domestic terrorism, in a federal case in Washington, D.C.”

He continued, “We want the U.S. government to stop supporting … and using the SPLC. They’re now connected to domestic terrorism.”

He cited the reports from SPLC that law enforcement periodically references, the classes the SPLC teaches to law enforcement officers, and other influences.

And Boykins said the U.S. media needs to “stop giving them a voice to spew their hatred.”

Such validation simply gives the appearance that “their dangerous actions” are “sanctioned by the U.S.”

“Third, we’d really like for the Congress to take some kind of action to do a legitimate assessment of the recklessness of this organization, and assist with forcing our government to stop supporting them,” he said.

Perkins previously said that the SPLC’s statements about the FRC “gave license” to Corkins’ to attack.

Corkins, 28, confessed he was motivated by FRC’s stance against homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.”

“The Southern Poverty Law Center can no longer say that it is not a source for those bent on committing acts of violence,” Perkins said earlier.

The significance of the Chick-fil-A sandwiches Corkins bought and brought to FRC was that the owner of the restaurant chain was under fire last summer from homosexual activists for stating his support for the morality of traditional marriage.

Prosecutors said Corkins claimed he was at FRC headquarter interviewing for an internship. When a security guard asked for ID, Corkins took a pistol from a backpack and fired three shots, striking security guard Leonardo Johnson in the arm.

Johnson, however, was able to wrestle away the gun from Corkins, preventing further bloodshed.

Perkins said that only by “ending its hate labeling practices will the SPLC send a message that it no longer wishes to be a source for those who would commit acts of violence that are only designed to intimidate and silence Christians and others who support natural marriage and traditional morality.”

That the U.S. government utilizes the opinions endorsed by the SPLC is evidenced in a number of ways, including the fact that the U.S. Army Reserve recently was found to be using a training brief that slams Catholics and evangelical Christians.

Members of Congress were outraged.

“Our nation needs to have an honest conversation about religious extremism and what we can do to avoid religious violence. However, labeling these major world religions as extremists is wrong and hurtful,” said a letter by Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., that was signed by dozens of other members.

It was addressed to Army Secretary John. M . McHugh at the Pentagon.

“We call on you to rescind this briefing and set the record straight on the Army’s view on these faith groups by providing a balanced briefing on religious extremism,” the letter said.

The letter was prompted by reports that soldiers were taught that evangelical Christians are an extremist threat to America along with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, KKK, Nation of Islam, al-Qaida and Hamas.

“Men and women of faith who have served the Army faithfully for centuries shouldn’t be likened to those who have regularly threatened the peace and security of the United States,” said retired Col. Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. “It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization. It also appears that some military entities are using definitions of ‘hate’ and ‘extreme’ from the lists of anti-Christian political organizations. That violates the apolitical stance appropriate for the military.”

See what Christian really is, in “Body of Divinity: The Sum and Substance of the Christian Religion.”

The U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training briefing, given to an Army reserve unit in Pennsylvania, was titled “Extremism and Extremist Organizations.”
