A "Right-Wing," "Christian" Hate Crime
Pajamas Media ^ | June 11th, 2009 | Rand Simberg

Posted on 06/11/2009 1:45:42 PM PDT by NonZeroSum

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”?

And Von Brunn is a demoncRAT. Unfortunately, this action by a hateful old geezer will fuel obozo’s push for the national hate crime legislation which is ridiculous. The man committed and will be punished under the existing laws. There is no need for the “hate crimes legislation.”

The actual fact that he is a Christian-hating Socialist is even better. Holocaust Museum Shooter: Christian hating Socialist.

“nor a particularly devoted Christian”

His writings stated that Christianity was a “Jewish plot by Paul to bring down pagan Rome.”

Listened to Dave Ross commentary on WCBS radio today basically associating Free Republic with Nazis and the white supremacist movement and this nut job shooter.

The left can't make up it's mind. They get mad at the right for supporting Israel over the “helpless” Palestinians, then without missing a beat we are antisemitic white supremest...

Oh, they’ve made up their minds.
They hate that conservatives exist,
and seek to justify that hatred no matter how they have to twist logic to do so.

How can it be that conservatives are pointed at for this man’s actions, but Reverend Wright is not pointed at? The shooter has more in common with Reverend Wright and his ilk than he does with conservatives.

DU, KOS and some others are trying to claim he was a FReeper . . .

Another example of how the Truth to the Left is that which advances their goals.

Factuality is irrelevant.

I just heard that this nut job also had the Weekly Standard in his sights —
Wanted to kill some “neo cons” (Jews?) too?
He was NOT one of ours, it seems!
Surprise surprise!

Everything that is evil is right wing you should know that.

* national socialists.
* Baath Party which mirrored the national socialists.
* Islamic Extremist for their 'conservative' beliefs of Islam which their governments are very much Socialists based.

the list goes on and on.

Every single reporter that made this “right-wing” claim should immediately apologize.

Shlep on Fox was really having a party with it yesterday... disgustingly so.

“Neo-cons are not Conservatives!”

I’m pretty sick of them, myself. In reality, they are responsible for Soetoro now. They have been setting the stage for decades. The occupant of the White House is just finishing their work.

What about the recent Jeremiah Wright comment that occurred at about the same time as the attack on the Holocaust Museum???

In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/10/wright-suggests-jews-white-house-wont-let-speak-obama/

What about the Bush assassination film???

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/01/AR2006090100858.html

What about the left-wing term "neo-cons?"

http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j010303.html

What about the Black Panthers?

What about ACORN?

What about Obama's association with Minister Farrakhan?

What about the "vast right wing conspiracy" that dates back to the Clinton era? I could go on and on, but my point is that most of the hate speech I have been hearing for the last eight years plus has been coming form the LEFT!!!

Do you have any source confirming that he is a registered Democrat?

I’ve glanced through his writings (his website is down, but there are cached versions around), and he attacks both sides pretty hard (he goes after “neocons,” but he also viciously attacks liberals, marxists, and Democrats).

As much as some would like to make this guy into a far-left Democrat, I wouldn’t call him a left-wing whacko OR a right-wing whacko. I think it’s sufficient quite simply to call him a wacko.
