Extreme Rightist Violence Upsurge

[chequita guevara]

Not only is Che guilty of trying to score political points with this tragedy,

Not only are you a scum bucket, but you're a ****ing moron as well. There is an explosion of activity and an expansion of the extremist right wing since Obama's election. Hell, DHS has been warning of this for months.

But go ahead and cover your eyes and pretend Stormfront and its ilk isn't growing like a weed. When you're forced to wear a pink triangle on your way to the ovens, you'll still be saying, well, they do have a point.

Glad we can have a respectful conversation about the loss of a human life and about hate crimes in general.

And to hell with your reference to gay Holocaust victims - that was out of line.

[chequita guevara]

To hell with you. You're a ****ing moron who thinks that the rise in extremist right wing violence in the United States in the past few months are apparently unconnected incidents, and that anyone pointing out those incidents actually are connected is doing so for cheap political gain. You're a self-righteous ******* who thinks his **** don't stink.

Or are you so stupid as to think that GOP = neo nazis? Cuz that's who you were defending from my cheap political shot, the neo-nazis.

Anti-semitism is normally a leftist affair in the US.

It is in the Von Brunn case as well. James W. Von Brunn is an avowed socialist, not a right winger, and has wriiten various screeds for socialism, as well as for various racisms and anti religions. He also opines that Christianity was a Jewish plot to overthrow the Roman Empire.

Weekly Standard may have been shooter target

FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they'd found the magazine's address

A senior Standard staffer confirmed the visit but declined to discuss it in detail. An FBI spokeswoman, Katherine Schweit , also declined to comment on the investigation.

Two other sources said two FBI agents arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m. Thursday at the 17th Street offices of the magazine. They told staffers that they had found the address of the magazine on a piece of paper associated with the shooter, James von Brunn, and asked whether the Standard had received any threats.

The magazine is about a mile north of the Holocaust Museum, and there's no other indication that von Brunn had targeted it. Von Brunn's published rants included attacks on "neocons," and the Standard has been at the heart of the neoconservative movement.

The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view of the racist shooter in contemporary left-right terms. Von Brunn's white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a "right-wing extremist," but the substance of his views -- which included everything from believing that President Bush may have been in on the September 11 attacks to denying that President Obama is an American citizen -- are too far on the fringe to fit into conventional political classification.

The focus on the Standard, though, appears to be of a piece with his central motivation: Anti-Semitism. In one essay, Von Brunn attacked "JEWS-NEOCONS-BILL O’REILLY," and the suggestion that neoconservatism is a specifically Jewish conspiracy is common on the racist fringe.
