In its obvious zeal to create a one-party state, the Democrat-Media Complex (the natural coalition of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media) last week seized upon the horrific murder of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington as an opportunity to ascribe blame to the American conservative movement and to further marginalize the Republican Party.
In record time, the media's blind partisans and their feral friends in the left-wing blogosphere used the alleged "lone wolf" act of James W. von Brunn - an 88-year old self-avowed racist and anti-Semite - to try to affirm the controversial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report that posited " right-wing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president" and are a becoming a growing domestic terror threat.
The networks, CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times - the usual obnoxious suspects - toed this specious ideological slander, even though it smacks of the kind of profiling that the left rejects. Even Shepard Smith of Fox News jumped to the same conclusion by offering a surge of nasty notes in his in-box as proof. (You should check my e-mail, Shep!) If a newsreader on Fox News thinks it's true, triumphal lefties crowed, then it must be!
While Mr. von Brunn is afforded the descriptor of "alleged" perpetrator before a court of law convicts him, the conservative movement is granted no such due process. In a country where the individual is "innocent until proven guilty," conservatives have been forced to actively disassociate themselves from an ideological lineage to white supremacists, anti-Semites and other racist miscreants. And these days there's less and less media space for them to fight this unfair accusation.

If there is anyone left who doubts media bias, let this be the test.
Very hard left. obviously.
He was a registered democrat.
Andrew never even mentions the man calls himself a Pagan Socialist. How can you leave that out?
Don’t confuse them with facts, logic or history.
Of course he’s a left winger. Look at his enemies. Besides, he did what he did at a convenient time for teh left.
“Don’t confuse them with logic.”
But we CAN accuse them of snarkiness.
There was a nasty trick done years ago, of tying a pack of firecrackers to the tail of a dog, then lighting the fuse. As the firecrackers started to burst, the dog would run away in great fright, trailing the bursting firecrackers behind, and before the last of them had been set off, the dog was thoroughly traumatized.
Much the same kind of trick has been done by the leftists in tying the “lone wolf” James von Brunn to the conservative movement, when he was nothing of the kind. The conservatives, for their part, are left looking shell-shocked and defensive.
It is time to fight back. Not with these tactics, but by a continual exposure of the truth, and the money trail that runs through all the “dirty tricks” the leftists have gotten behind over the past decade.
Conservatives are shamed by breaking their own moral code. Leftists are shamed when they are shown to have been in it primarily for the money.
And there are a lot of wealthy leftists.
No doubt he believed he’d been given orders. Just look at what Obama had done in the weeks preceding this event ~ trashed Israel, praised Palestinians ~ what else would Von Brunn believe other than that Obama had told him to go kill Jews.
To be accurate, the headline the next day should have read, “Lifelong Democrat, and Bush Basher Targeted Blacks and Jews.”
