Shortly after Anders Behring Breivik carried out his one-man killing spree of his fellow countrymen Friday, the media began to speculate about the killers possible motivations. The terrorists disturbing manifesto (much of it borrowed from Unabomber Ted Kaczynski) prescribed a race-based revolution across Europe against what he considered the elite, multiculturalists and enablers of Islamization.
To the New York Times, this seething hatred all apparently sounded familiar:
[Breivik's] manifesto, which denounced Norwegian politicians as failing to defend the country from Islamic influence, quoted Robert Spencer, who operates the Jihad Watch Web site, 64 times, and cited other Western writers who shared his view that Muslim immigrants pose a grave danger to Western culture.
More broadly, the mass killings in Norway, with their echo of the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City by an antigovernment militant, have focused new attention around the world on the subculture of anti-Muslim bloggers and right-wing activists and renewed a debate over the focus of counterterrorism efforts.
Al Jazeera went so far as to blame hate-monger Glenn Beck, a peddler of faith apparently cut from the same rotten cloth as Breivik and 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta.
The Times also noted that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was right to warn against domestic radicals, in the United States:
In the United States, critics have asserted that the intense spotlight on the threat from Islamic militants has unfairly vilified Muslim Americans while dangerously playing down the threat of attacks from other domestic radicals. The author of a 2009 Department of Homeland Security report on right-wing extremism withdrawn by the department after criticism from conservatives repeated on Sunday his claim that the department had tilted too heavily toward the threat from Islamic militants.

I’m a Conservative and if you are a Democrat or Progressive you should FEAR me .
They had better fear me....My “terror” is the voting booth.
facebook account is seen shortly before and after..old account on top...newest (the one MSM is wetting their pants over a few days old)..on the bottom
Hmm......
A conservative with liberal thinkings.
'nuff said.
Ah yes! De-nile is more than a river!
Keep pushing the meme that Abu Sayeff had nothing to do with it.
Maybe we'll all be 'treated' to another Flight 800 or 9/11.
“Im a Conservative and if you are a Democrat or Progressive you should FEAR me”
Exactly.... And upping the ante, let me point out that it was their liberal policies that caused you to go over the edge! They are a RECRUITING TOOL for the Tea Party!
That seems to have resulted in the creation of a cult following that's now striking out and murdering people in Europe.
The folks at the NYT are so utterly stupid.
“Hmm......
A conservative with liberal thinkings.”
Hmmm, a Christian who is an atheist, who doesn’t go to church, who buys hookers and drinks and goes on a murder spree.
When have any of you known Communists, er excuse me, Progressives, to let a blood letting go to waste?
Blood dancing, blood guilt. Surprised Palin hasn’t been fully blamed yet.
Yep, it is adding up to be shock; a liberal.
They must be joking.
Conservatives all left Europe centuries and decades ago.
Many came here as our ancestors and formed a New Europe.
In Modern Times Old Europe only does two things.
Socialism and Fascism.
Two sides of the same coin.
And FYI - Socialist Old Europe is currently ripe for the picking, which explains how a lone fascist killed so many socialist. Heck, Libya may even invade Old Europe soon.
This kind of reporting used to bother me. It doesn’t anymore because it’s such an over reach of pathetic proportions, and reeks of desperation.
NBC news was equally disgusting tonight. They were citing anti-Muslim attacks across the USA, then showing clips from the head of Homeland Security expressing concerns for another Timothy McVeigh. I also loved the part where they were going after Jihad Watch.com. I wonder... while they were visiting that site if they decided to take a second look at the Ft. Hood shootings? No? Oh, how convenient.
"Norwegian Liberal Men's Commenorative "Let's Roll" Shirt for Their Fearless Rallying to Protect Their Own"
Which is worse - Norwegian Police or their Liberal Men?
There are enough conservatives in this country who carry concealed weapons that a psycho would be unlikely to be able to shoot liberals for for over 90 minutes unopposed.

Good grief...did they put that guy's head in a vice for years...or what???
Kathryn Lopez of National Review found the Catholic Church was also compared to the terrorism-endorsing Muslim Brotherhood by reporter Scott Shane:
