So far, we've had the guy who killed PA police officers because he thought Obama was taking away his guns, we've had a right-wing anti-abortion zealot kill a doctor in a church... and now, a white supremacist kills a guard at the Holocaust museum. Instead of fighting the thesis of that report, all sane and clear-minded Republicans should have supported it so that they are not lumped in with these fools. But as usual, petty posturing overrode common sense.

Turns out we should have paid more attention to it.

I have a feeling we are just getting started too, especially considering the amount of people who seem to condone these type of acts. You've got losers here calling the first guy a hero. A HERO.

Really? It would label millions as violent extremists? Did you read the report to come to that conclusion?

For example, he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other "neo-conservatives"
Seems this guy is eerily similar to a LOT of the leftists on this board.

That's just the thing... these people aren't conservatives, ok? We're not talking about your run-of-the mill conservatives, we are talking about your extremists who are so pissed off that they could get violent... skinheads, neo-nazis, etc... I have no idea why typical conservatives would want to associate themselves with the report... particularly since the report never used the word 'conservative.'

So what was the reasoning behind the plots to kill Bush? Just more right-wingers, huh?

How many White Americans were killed by Black Americans in the last two days? Use the average annual data from the DOJ website. According to their data, it was 14. Were they hate crimes? Racially motivated? Political? Did you even see one reported in the MSM?

If you want to really open your eyes, look at the total homicides during the last two days (again using daily average). Over 90 according to the Department of Justice.

Approximately 200 people died in car crashes in the past two days, and 90 of them were killed by drunk drivers.

Put it all into perspective and context. These things happen every day, year after year, regardless of who is President. The Wacky supremacist grandpa or the wacky Muslim would have done it regardless.

These things happen every day? We are not talking about the act of the homicide... the issue is the rationale behind the homicide... I think society is far more damaged when Matthew Sheppard is beaten to death because he's gay, Reginald Denny has a brick smashed against his temple because he's white or Byrd is dragged to death behind a pickup truck because he's Black than a random murder.

Your post has no traction vsmoove. There is no right wing about the man. von Bruun was a lunatic who hated everyone equally. His hatred for Jews was matched by his hatred for Bush and Neo-Conservatives.
