This afternoon, a gunman apparently shot at least one person at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. MSNBC is reporting that the suspected shooter, who also sustained gunshot wounds, is James Von Brunn, a white supremacist born in 1920. Brunn has been approvingly cited on Stormfront, a national white supremacist website. He is apparently the author of a tract called, “Kill the Best Gentiles,” which his website describes as “a new, hard-hitting exposé of the JEW CONSPIRACY to destroy the White gene-pool.” Brunn, a WWII veteran, also wrote a screed on President Obama’s citizenship that was re-posted to popular right-wing blog Free Republic:This guy is a piece of work, an 88-year old WW II vet who happens to be a hardcore Right-wing racist anti-Semitic asshole. Here's hoping both the injured guards and Von Brunn recover fully...there's some justice to be meted out.
(P.S....he's not a Muslim, wingers. He's one of yours...one of those guys who hates everyone not a white Christian male, and who doesn't believe Obama is a real US citizen. Oh, and he's a Freeper, too.)
How many of these attacks have to happen before we start admitting we have a right-wing domestic terrorism problem in this country? Just two months ago, the DHS released a report saying right-wing domestic terrorism is on the rise. The Wingers said it was unfair, unfair, UNFAIR to say that!
And since then, we've had several incidents of domestic terrorism here. It's been two months since that report came out. Just two months.
It will only get worse from here. I guarantee it.
BZZT wrong, you have failed the wingnut test.
ReplyDelete"Terrorist" and good ol' boy christian/veteran are mutually incompatible! Terrorists are ALWAYS brown and/or muslim!
Seriously, though. Am I the only one thinking that this all is going to get nasty very quickly?
It already has, frankly. Two high profile terrorist murders in two weeks?
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm thinking more along the lines of "is this going to wind up as a civil war"?
ReplyDeleteI do agree that it's already fucking nasty enough already.
