Who also appears to have spent time in federal prison for attempted kidnapping.

With the US Military infiltrated by thousands of white supremacists and militia members and these two incidents (this and the Tiller shooting) occurring one right after the other. It is time for Napolitano and the Obama Administration to stop sucking right wing ass. It is time now for these nutjobs to be treated as what they are: terrorists. They are a threat to the public safety, which is not conjecture. That is empirical. Before one more person has to die, it is truly time for a full frontal assault on what amounts to active sedition.

And then there is this guy:

A Tennessee and even a Knoxville connection.

Another month, another U.S. terrorist strike fueled by the extreme right/"libertarian" hate media.

Red vs. blue?

Wow.

We wandered into the museum, through the same doors and into the same foyer where shots rang out this afternoon. My wife had given us visitor passes that she receives as a member of the Museum. The lines were long, and it was not obvious which line we needed to stand in.

Pop was having none of it. He walked away from me and wandered up to the museum staffer standing at the head of the long line leading to the elevators that takes all visitors to the museum exhibits. I thought for a moment that Pop was going to ask directions. I was wrong.

He thrust out his arm in the direction of the staffer, displaying the number the Nazis tattooed on his arm at Auschwitz just a few inches from her face. Without making eye-contact and barely breaking stride, Pop kept walking. Understandably, the staffer barely blinked. She didn't make a move to stop him.

(By way of ACK.)

Heaven forfend that anyone suggest that any of these events lately are in any way, uh, related or something.

Another month, another U.S. terrorist strike fueled by the extreme right/"libertarian" hate media.

I don't listen to Limbaugh or like him. I don't watch Fox. I prefer NPR to HHH and PBS's News Hour to anything else.

However, if you look at this killer's background, he was an anti-semitic racist long before Limbaugh, Fox, and the others.

You can argue that the radio talkers and others have pushed irrational hate and fear more into the mainstream, but the Turner Diaries crowd and Aryan Nations populace is an entity mainly unto itself.

Granted, it wants to become mainstream, but I don't think these people get most of their inspiration from the Republicans or conservatives.

Distinction noted, Gary. But it's a very minor outlier in the data. Though these types of idiots have been around basically forever, this kind of event would be extremely odd if it hadn't occurred in the current rash of similar (in deed) domestic hate attacks. Perhaps this guy was encouraged to go with the flow. When one idiot in California some 20 years ago started shooting at other drivers to take out his road rage, the practice became a bit of a popular rage itself. Mob mentality or whatever. Of course, maybe not in this case. YMMV, etc.

I think these nuts come out when Democrats are in power, because talk radio ( and lesser known, but more sinster "news" outlets) create a view of an "impending sense of doom."

Talk radio (and even objective news media) thrive by not letting a "crisis" go to waste, whether it's real or created solely for the purpose of giving the talkers and listeners something to foam at the mouth about. In that way, it may motivate a few into doing something besides writing their Congress person, going to vote, or sipping tea.

By the way, my wife and I toured the Holocaust Museum just last Friday.

As far as security went, it was the tightest except for the White House tour. I was surprised when I heard about the shooting and heard the number of injured.

When we were there, kids were sitting right out in front of the doors, waiting to go in, and it was crowded inside. Our tour time was for 1:45PM. I told my wife we probably passed by the guard that was killed.

I believe the killer was aiming for the guards. At the time we visited, the two lines at the detectors and bag checks were about six or five people long.

If the killer had just been shooting randomly, he would have hit more people.

I have no doubt he wanted to murder the guards.

Caught lying about the pay czar to whip people up, got called on the carpet. Let's see what he says or if he corrects himself.

I'm tired of crazy people killing folks.

I'm tired of crazy people killing folks.

Was he crazy? I doubt it.

Full of hate and self-righteousness acted out daily through ridiculing and tearing down others? More like it.

But he's not alone in that respect.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, which resulted in the death of one security guard, several items were unearthed online that appeared to be written by von Brunn: a piece titled "Obama Is Missing," which questioned the president's citizenship,

Myself and a few other legislators have signed on to a suit to make available to the public Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Soetoros) birth records and other vital information.
