UPDATE: Suspect is an 89 year old white male, with ties to white supremacist group.
Another senseless act of domestic terrorism by another radical right wing extremist group. These groups sure do create and foster a lot of "lone wolves".
It's time for a major crackdown on these groups and their hate-filled incendiary rhetoric that is designed to incite people to acts of rage and senseless violence.
Lets not forget about the person who shot the soldiers last week. Let's shut down those anti-war groups.

Conservatives think "I hope it's not another right-winger."
That kind of tells you something.
Right wingers are prone to violence. Or at least MORE prone to violence than all others. Napalitano was exactly right yet was ROUNDLY denounced by this same lunatic rightwing fringe, which is now feeling more empowered and striking out. They are lone gunman but alot of these rightwing nutjobs are also banded together and could strike as a group who coordinates their attack. I hope the FBI is ready for this. And maybe the National Guard.
The real threat outside of rightwing violence is a rightwing government like the last one who capitalize on this and remove our civil rights and liberties.
Another Bush/Cheney regime would/could benefit from rightwing domestic terrorism

I don't think that guy had a political agenda any more than John Hinckley had a political agenda (the rumors about the Hinckley family's long time friendship with the Bush family spurring on Hinckley to assassinate Reagan so Hinckley's father's best friend would be POTUS lack credibility).
However, political violence in the US is hardly unique historically to right wingers. One thing that scares me is that the Tiller murder and the Holocaust museum shooting spree could lead to groups on the extreme left doing "reprisals". When that sort of political violence breaks out, it's not good for democracy.

I am so upset about this security guard's death. I was just at the Holocaust Memorial last Friday with my parents and twin sister. I remember him specifically because he had to wand my twin sister because of her belt and my dad asked him where the bathroom was. My family saw his pic on CNN tonight and gasped because we immediately recognized him. My heart goes out to him and his family.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I too have been through that security checkpoint and Iguess these people are offended by the Holocaust Memorial Museum as it is an accounting of the crimes committed by those they idolize.
Sick, twisted people.
