Left Wing Fanatics have MARTYRED FORTUYN!

I remember reading a muslim cleric stating that homosexuals should be killed. He made an exception for Mr. Fortuyn.That sounds like a Sharpton/Jackson/Clinton technique. Wiggle room, plausible deniability, but implicit suggestions are given.

Notice how wide open that parking lot is....
Knighthawk ....did Fortuyn have a security detail???

That's what I suspect as well--but it could be the leftists. Their interests are mutual in assassinating Fortuyn.Yup, It could be. I think leftists and islamofascists are forging alliances in Europe and America.

When the media describe somebody as "right-wing," that can include a lot of ground (including complete opposites, like libertarians and fascists ROFLMAO
Libertarians are hardly always right wing nor are their opposites de facto fascists.
As for this poor fellow, I don't know much about him but I lament the loss of almost anyone who is labeled as hyphenated right wing. We should never underestimate our enemies.

Fortuyn advocates a ban on immigration and has criticized Islam as a ``backward culture.''Well there you have. List of suspects has been narrowed.

Got away, but was chased.
To: knighthawk
I am truly sorry for this.
To: knighthawk
Thank you. I found a
BBC article on him too. He appears to have been an interesting politician. The media have a propensity, whenever possible, to characterize political views they disagree with as "right-wing," hoping to tar all such people with the taint of Nazism and the like.

It is probably the parking lot of the radio station Fortuyn was leaving.
Damn, I am just furious.
To: Diddle E. Squat
CBS Radio at noon described him as "an extreme rightwing politician."
I am quite confident that they have never described anyone as "an extreme leftwing politician."
