The man accused of opening fire at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC on June 10, James W. von Brunn, left a trail of unhinged writings around the internet.
The anti-semitism of von Brunn is the first thing one notices when visiting these bizarre websites. However, like those of most "white supremacists", many of von Brunn's political views track "Left" rather than "Right." Clearly, a re-evaluation of these obsolete definitions is long overdue.
For example, he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other "neo-conservatives" in online essays. As even some "progressives" such as the influential Adbusters magazine publicly admit, "neoconservative" is often used as a derogatory code word for "Jews". As well, even a cursory glance at "white supremacist" writings reveals a hatred of, say, big corporations that is virtually indistinguishable from that of anti-globalization activists.
James von Brunn's advocacy of 9/11 conspiracy theories also gives him an additional commonality with individuals on the far-left.
None of this will surprise readers of Jonah Goldberg's bestseller Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change , which clearly demonstrates that "fascism" of the kind advocated by the British National Party (BNP) and the likes of James W. von Brunn is just as likely to reflect "leftwing" views as "rightwing" ones.
In fact, anti-semitism is something the New Left and the "Far Right" have had in common since the 1980s, which is why so many former leftists like David Horowitz defected from one side to the other during the Reagan era and beyond. It also helps explain the otherwise baffling alliance between the Left and radical Islam.
That this shooting occurred shortly after President Obama's former mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, blamed "the Jews" for his lack of access to his former parishioner is a troubling confluence of events as well.
:’D Thanks LdSentinal.
Yes isn’t it a coincidence this shooting happens the same day as Wright’s comments surface. I refuse to call him Reverend since there is nothing reverent about him....
But anyway, over on MSNBC someone is trying to blame Limbaugh and the right for creating this atmosphere of hate. So when will the “mainstream” opinion makers start castigating Mr Wright and saying HE is the one whipping up hatred? I’m sure it will happen real soon.
Ha ha.
Smerconish was calling him a “right-wing” terrorist this morning.
oh please.
I know some of those Ron Paul people, but, against Jewish people is a lefty.
Read Jonah Goldberg.
And Romney! (snort)
What I want to know is whether this guy attended the Rev. Wright's "church" or did he just subscribe to the newsletter?
ML/NJ
LGF is the gayest blog on the Internet. Why would you publicly admit to reading it?
You're a moron. When has Ron Paul ever "honored" a murderer?
Ummm, Paul supported invading Afghanistan. You sure do like to talk out of your ass.
I just Googled this joker. It seems like he's one of the few Rudy turds who escaped the enema Jim gave FR during the primaries.
For the train-wreck factor. It’s interesting to look over there and see who CJ’s Fascist of the Day is. Is it creationists? Is it Paulestinians? Is it Vlangs Belaam? Is it Freepers? I think he’s got a rotation up on a calendar in his kitchen.
And he does still occasionally do good work in pointing out stuff about radical Islam.

I meant to question his label of “right wing”. Being a 9/11 truther and hating the Bush administration neo-cons would seem to put him in the Leftist zone.
Well, that will get the news media flushing his memory down Orwell's hole in a hurry!
Another Ron Turd supporter comes out from the garbage dump. Turd went and honored 9/11 Truther Aaron Russo back in 2007.
Ummm, Paul supported invading Afghanistan. You sure do like to talk out of your ass.
I'm not speaking out of your mother. Here's something to chew your nutty brain on:
JW: Could you elaborate a little bit how oil pipelines were the motivation for going into Afghanistan?
RP: It's been known that certain oil companies were anxious for many, many years to be able to transverse Afghanistan to move natural gas. And that effort is still alive and well. Too often, whether it's a pipeline in Afghanistan or control of oil wells in Iraq, oil and economics motivates our national policy much more so than national security.

Now that's funny since I never supported Rudy, but he's loads better than Ron Turd.
As for the enema, I'm sure to look you up as your brains seem to have been flushed down the toilet years ago.
Acting on his new fuehrer obama’s exhortations he obviously feels free to take out conservatives and ethnic groups he does not like.
“Turd went and honored 9/11 Truther Aaron Russo back in 2007.”
Russo is a murderer?
“I’m not speaking out of your mother.”
You really are a despicable sack of caca.

Irrelevant to the guilt or innocence of the Museum shooter.
I never wrote that or said that.

Right back at you.
Irrelevant to the guilt or innocence of the Museum shooter.
Yes, but the alleged shooter is a Ron Turd supporter.

Liar.
“Yes, but the alleged shooter is a Ron Turd supporter.”
Why do you care? Aren’t you an Adolf Hitler supporter?
