For example, Nazis werent socialists, they killed socialists.

Why do you let yourself be manipulated like that?




Funny that you, of all people, are asking this question to someone else.

Link to any post where Ive swallowed some deranged claim such as "However, like those of most 'white supremacists,' many of von Brunn's political views track 'Left' rather than 'Right'" or "von Brunn advocated the socialist policies espoused by Adolf Hitler".

Everybody wants to put this guy on one end of the political spectrum or the other. This, I think, does a disservice to everyone. This guy was an idiotic, whacked out nut job who most likely had mental problems for a long time. Left or right, Neither side has a monopoly on crazy, I think crazy in itself has no political affiliation.

Think of it, next time you are in a major city and see some homeless person talking crazy talk to himself, I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't vote.

The problem is, the right wing spin machine is trying to persuade its sheep that this guy had leftist leanings "like Hitler's socialists." Naturally the people on the left protest.

Not sure whether the RWSM is trying to deflect from associating the guy with the right's traditional racism or actually, earnestly trying to cobble together an association in the sheep's minds of the guy with the left. They're doing both, I guess.

I Agree. The interesting thing is when this first happened, everybody was identifying him as a fringe right-wing nut job. Now that more information is available, we see its a great deal more complicated. Like a lot of people, someone like this is too complicated to be pigeonholed under a single label.

That machine is amazing. I admire it very much.

It wasn't relating to the recent shooting. I've seen some of your old posts saying GWB generated $ 11 Trillion of debt for the country over 8 years, when the entire public debt by the time he left office was not even $ 11 Trillion.

I don't recall the exact posts, but IMO you have made some posts that show you to be somewhat easily manipulated by the media.

James von Brunn, the man who allegedly shot and killed a guard at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., was a Darwin-lover who hated the Bible and Christians, and defies media efforts to classify him as a stereotypical "right-winger," according to reports.


The Moonbattery blog revealed von Brunn advocated the socialist policies espoused by Adolf Hitler and used Darwinian theory to support his anti-Semitism.


"The anti-Semitism of von Brunn is the first thing one notices when visiting these bizarre websites. However, like those of most 'white supremacists,' many of von Brunn's political views track 'Left' rather than 'Right.'
Clearly, a re-evaluation of these obsolete definitions is long overdue," she wrote.

Wow, so instead of taking this at face value, which is a seriously disturbed man who spent his entire life hating non-whites, you twist this into an atheist, darwin argument. That's as bad as him blaming jews for Obama or however his argument goes. Ridiculous.
