If this guy had it out for conservatives, perhaps he’s just an ordinary doctrinaire anti-semitic liberal.

Of course they don’t mention it. The spin here is that he is “ultra-right-wing”. Obviously spurred on by Rush Limbaugh and the like.

I have yet to meet a “conservative” anti-semite.

All anti-semites that I’ve met have been “liberals” who hated Bush, etc.

You can add “journalism student” - no wonder the marxist media is in CYA mode.

Von Brunn's white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a "right-wing extremist"

Only to the serial liars on the left and the fools who believe them.

Here's a pop quiz for the hacks at Politico. Who said the following:

"Let us not seek the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us seek the secret of the religion in the real Jew. What is the profane basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly cult of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.

Very well, then, in emancipating itself from huckstering and money, and thus from real and practical Judaism, our age would emancipate itself.

An organization of society which would abolish the preconditions and thus the very possibility of huckstering, would make the Jew impossible. His religious consciousness would evaporate like some insipid vapour in the real, life-giving air of society...

We discern in Judaism, therefore, a universal antisocial element of the present time, whose historical development, zealously aided in its harmful aspects by the Jews, has now attained its culminating point, a point at which it must necessarily begin to disintegrate.

In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism."

Was it...

A - Rush Limbaugh
B - Adolf Hitler
C - Karl Marx

Hint: It's not A or B.

There is a local talk radio guy here who claims to be independent/moderate (Alan Handelman). Yesterday he was begging callers to tell him what set off the shooter. It was pretty obvious he was wanting someone to say Rush.

Makes sense to me.

The dude was a Ron Paul supporter. Not because Ron Paul is a white supremacist, but because Ron Paul agrees with the von Brunns of the world that the USA should be isolationist and avoid foreign wars.

However, Ron Paul's isolationist views come from an honest difference of opinion and aren't based on hatred for Jews like the von Brunns and David Dukes of the world.

But let's be clear and hammer this point home. von Brunn, David Duke, Ahmedinejad, Hitler, Arafat, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem all have one thing in common: all of their beliefs are predicated on their hatred of Jews. Jew hatred is their core, undying, immutable belief.

How do you negotiate with people who harbor such deep hatred for Jews? Until liberals (like Obama) acknowledge the deep anti-Semitism that runs rampant throughout the world, especially the Muslim world (well documented by MEMRI), they will remain naive and blind to the real problem. But to the liberal mind, only the Klan and Nazis hate Jews... it is incomprehensible to them that there are exponentially more Islamic extremists hellbent on killing Jews than there are white supremacists out to do the same.

The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view...

LOL...

Translation: This blows the template the media was ready to go with.

Translation 2: This will be a non-news story by tomorrow.

Von Brunn's published rants included attacks on "neocons,"

BUT BUT BUT the media's been saying that it the neocon movement that is CREATING these kind of violent FOLLOWERS.

Interesting. Wonder if MSNBC will point this out? Or any of the Leftist outlets?? Nah. They want a double-standard to apply so the lemmings will blame the GOP,conservatives and Christians when voting!!!

FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they'd found the magazine's address

Nice English skills.

The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view of the racist shooter in contemporary left-right terms. Von Brunn's white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a "right-wing extremist," but the substance of his views -- which included everything from believing that President Bush may have been in on the September 11 attacks to denying that President Obama is an American citizen -- are too far on the fringe to fit into conventional political classification.

ONLY because the Left insist that Fascism is from the Right, not the Left (as it is).

There's plenty of antisemitism among the so-called anti-war movement, they are decidedly pro-Palestinian war and even support the use of suicide bombers against Israelis.

9-11 truthers found a welcome home in the Ron Paul 2008 campaign. He may not have given them full support, but he didn’t chase them off with a stick either. And he did court them.

notice how the left/media do not mention that the shooter is left wing or he is a registered Democrat.

I've seen this repeated numerous times today in comments, but have seen no source for the claim - do you have one?

The fact is, I think it is a meaningless exercise to try to place this guy (or others like him) into any "mainstream" political party or category. Reading through his "book" (it's on his website, www.holyromanempire.org, which is offline, but available through www.archive.org), it's clear that this von Brunn nutcase is not right-wing/conservative (he rants against freedom and democracy), but also that he is not left-wing/liberal (he repeatedly rants against Democrats and liberals/liberalism). Von Brunn and many of those like him view the entire political spectrum as nothing more than a Jewish conspiracy to create disharmony among white people.

As convenient as it is to try to call this guy a liberal (and as convenient as it is for the DUmmies to try to call him a conservative), the fact of the matter is, nutcases like von Brunn exist outside of the political spectrum. He's not a left-wing nutcase. He's not a right-wing nutcase. He's just a nutcase-nutcase.

Michael Weiner/Savage called Ann Coulter a Jew hater. He believes her to be among the worst type of anti-semite, neo-nazi type.
