Well, the big story yesterday was the nut job who attacked the Holocaust Museum, killing a guard. If anything is a “hate crime,” this is, though I don’t think that means he should be punished more harshly. Yes, it’s traumatic for those who appropriately hold the museum in high regard, but he should be punished for the act, not his state of mind at the time.
Of course, the slander has already begun. Not of him, but of “right-wingers” and “conservatives.” The standard media template — that he was a white Christian “right-winger” — has been trotted out, and the DHS report from last January has supposedly been vindicated. I just heard Ralph Peters, who I would have thought knew better, call the guy a “right-winger” on Cavuto.
But what in his bio makes him “right-wing”?
Old, white, suprmeacist, registered Dimocrat...hey has anyone seen Sen. Byrd? Hope they didn’t get him confused...
‘But what in his bio makes him “right-wing”?’
He’s old and white. Oh, and he owns a gun. That’s about it.
His being a ‘right winger’ or even Christian has been shot down today big time as people dug into his background.
He hated and ranted about Israel, Jews, Bush, Cheney, neocons and zionists. He hated corporations. He was a self described socialist, saying it was the ‘future of the west’. He hated Christianity, calling it a ‘hoax’ started by Paul and said it brought down the Roman empire.
The only thing left they have to hang on to was that he was a ‘birther’, except, they forget that the birther movement was started by Hillary Clinton’s people, specifically Democrat Philip Berg.
Is there more at the link?
Reports now indicate that he was a registered Democrat, that he was a Ron Paul supporter, a 9-11 truther, that he was antiChristian, antiJew, and anti-neocon. He also reportedly had the address for the Weekly Standard in his papers and that it was logistically near where he attacked. Investigators asked staff at the Weekly Standard if they’d received any threats recently.
The media talking point is false. It is being spun for partisan political purposes.
Again, the media coverage of this incident stands in stark contrast with the coverage of the shooting at the Army recruiting center.
Weren’t they saying he was a WWII veteran?
They keep doing it because it works.
Well, hell, I’m an anti-neocon too!
Rhymes with "white?"
You’re right.
But even if he were a right-winger, we real right-wingers still pretty much agree that he should fry for this act.
DU, KOS and some others are trying to claim he was a FReeper because someone a long time ago posted some article by him from some obscure Norwegian website.. in which there was no indication of what a racist nut this guy was, just the normal birther stuff...
They fail to note however, that he stood for everything we oppose.. this is a very pro-Israel site and if he tried to rant here, he would have been sent packing quickly.. he would be more at home at DU or KOS.
Yes, I forgot to check the box that said it was an excerpt. Maybe the admin can fix it.
...after he spends a few years in a jail cell with a 400 pound guy nicknamed 'Buffy' who finds him cute..
The man is 88 years old.
Just sentence him to 30 years.
He can come up for a parole hearing in 20...
Or let me kill him.
I’d pay for the opportunity.
I’d commit a crime for the opportunity to be his cell mate.
He was a white supremacist and an Obama birth certificate guy, both associated with the “Right-Wing.” He was also a 9/11-truther and an Israel hater, both popular Lefty Moonbat hobbies. Sounds to make like he’s one of those nuts who went so far right he came back around on the other side. Hilarious that the DUers would make a big deal about some lone loon going off when they provide intellectual cover for Muslim psychos, not too mention common criminals.
It might be more beneficial to let him write his
“manifesto”
and get his true beliefs down so that all can see that he aligns more closely with 0bama, Wright, and Farakhan than anyone else.
Neither “right wing” nor a particularly devoted Christian, and a Democrat to boot.
And they are trying to hang this one on conservative spokesmen in this country?
