PARAMUS, N.J. — The suspect in two firebombings of New Jersey synagogues is a virulent anti-Semite who was so intent on sowing fear and destruction that he rode his bike to both locations when he couldn’t get access to a car, authorities said Tuesday.

Anthony Graziano, of Lodi, an unemployed recent high school graduate, was arrested and charged in the Jan. 11 attack on a Rutherford synagogue and the Jan. 3 firebombing of a Paramus synagogue. He was being held on $5 million bail. It wasn’t immediately known if he had retained an attorney.

Yes, I'm aware of speculation that he's an of a certain Republican Presidential candidate, which is irrelevant. He's clearly a neo-Nazi, any candidate should not only condemn his actions, but reject his support. We know one who refuses to do the latter.

"He's clearly a neo-Nazi,"

Don't be so sure. He could easily be part of the OWS crowd, which made no secret of their virulent anti-semitism.

Maybe the Paul 2012 campaign will hire him a lawyer.

What’s funny about leftist Jew haters is that they claim to NOT be antisemites for two reasons - one, Arabs/Palis are “semitic” as well, and they don’t hate them. Two - they are anti-Israel, not anti-Jew.

Possible, could be both. Godd he's off the street.

Someone better hire him a lawyer, the first firebomb went into the Rabbi’s occupied living quarters. Fortunately all escaped, but he’s got a serious problem.

The anti-Jew, anti-Israel rants are starting to become prevalent all over the web, even on the comments of mainstream media outlets.

Many, if not most, include their support for Ron Paul. But it is getting to the point where it has become exactly the viral meme that lives on its own. It will infect the most vulnerable, like this guy and anyone who is in need of a victim to blame. And it may be that those who already hate the Jews will gravitate to RP because he does not support the US supporting Israel.

It is, of course, racist to blame the POTUS. Somehow, it is not racist to blame Jews. It is also ignorant to blame the Left, but not ignorant to blame Israel. The entire fault is that of the object of their hatred.

Of course, we can be sure to find some brilliant explanation that will shift the cause for this to Republicans, Christians and, of course, Bush.

Were there any injuries? Burns can be real nasty and take a long time to heal.

My wild arsed guess, this kid was mixed up in a group of (predominately Arab-American) mixed martial arts cage fighters based in Woodland Park (formerly West Paterson, NJ) and was looking to get some street cred with them. I’m sure the police are going to be looking in to this, cause they are known thugs and the links are immediately apparent through quick web searches.

You could push me over with a feather. I would have thought his name was Khalid Mohammad or something like that.

Guess all groups have their lunatics.
