More evidence, via Politico, to suggest that the wacko white-supremicist who killed a guard at the Holocaust museum this week was preparing to act out on his hatred against CONSERVATIVES.
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.
So let’s see what we know about this von Brunn charactre so far:
- Hates Jews
- Hates Christians
- Hates Israel
- Hates “Neo-Cons”
- Hates globalisation
- Hates George Bush
- Hates John McCain
- Hates Bill O’Reilly
- Hates the Weekly Standard
And the media, as well as the magnificent idiot who runs LGF 1.0, are still rolling with the “crazy Right winger” line? Please, somebody with more patience than I, would you clue these guys in?
UPDATE: Via Hot Air, it is also possible that another one of von Brunn’s targets was none other than Fox News.
Law enforcement sources told WTTG/MyFoxDC.com that during a search of a car that is believed to belong von Brunn, investigators found a notebook with information about six to nine locations in the D.C. area, including the National Holocaust Museum. Other locations on the list included the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Washington Post, and a FOX News location.
So he hates Fox News too. How long does anyone think the credibility of the “right wing extremist” label is going to last?

You know, I perused the hate list first and figured the thread was about rev Wright.
Not exactly someone I’d like to have as a neighbor. That’s a lot of hate.
The left-wing and/or Islamist attacks on America have stepped up since Obortion’s inauguration it must be that the left feels comfortable to attack conservatives & military personnel based on the message that they are getting from Obortion’s rhetoric.

His next neighbor is going to be a very unpleasant one windybon.
If there is any doubt – the guy was a registered demonrat in Maryland!
Give it up libs – you lose this one. He was one of yours!
Uh…. being racist isn’t a conservative trait and, specifically, being part of a ‘white supremacy’ group doesn’t make one conservative. Most of those groups want the government to enforce their will.
That’s, uh…. liberal.
Overall, the guy is a nut. Specifically, he is a racist nut.
Being racist, despite what Ben Smith says, is not part of the Conservative ‘rubric’

Good point. But then again the left will say that about conservatives.

Won’t be credible but that won’t stop MSNBC.

Not a problem. In my opinion we have here the best assembly of conservative minds that 1.0 had to offer back in the day. And this site is only going one way,… upwards and onwards. 2.0 baby.

von Brunns’ manifesto, aka mental masturbations, are offered at a lefty atheist site

Thanks for the link to it.
I normally use a combination of Google, Fox News, Newsok.com (local news) and a couple assorted blogs.

It probably keys on popular stories and trackbacks. I can’t imagine they have some dude in a cubicle searching the sites manually.

If they do, and they pay 15 an hour, I’ll do it.

Now that would be a fun job for a blog wonk.

Since you are a Stars Wars aficionado, do you recall the short called Hardware Wars? I saw it as an intro to a late night weed choking screening of Yessongs at a local theater. It was funny then, but I watched it recently and it didn’t have the same impact. Less resin on the brain I think.

re: #42 by song_and_dance_man
I love Star Wars.
Is the Hard Ware Wars thing the short film with toasters and other kitchen appliances fighting it out? (I recall seeing something like that on TV around the early 1980s.)
I bet you could find it on You Tube.
Do a web search for ‘Chad Vader,’ those video shorts are funny, too.

You know, I hadn’t. I’ll have to take a look at that on my dekstop computer later. My laptop has linux and I still can’t play video or audio without issues.

Its because of posters like you that we are what we are. We even have Liberal admin like Chen, and I love his posts. I love diverse views. Even if I disagree, I want all views here. It makes us stronger!
re: #44 by CloudyDay
Yup. That’s the one. I also like Star Wars.
Do you, by chance, recall Paul Rodriguez’s outrageously funny comedy bit on Star Wars? I can’t recite it but it was called Barrio Wars with characters like Hans Cholo, CmePito, R2Puto, Obi dontcha know me, Chewcaca, Princess Lucia, Darth Vato, Luke Skydude and Yodalay.
I must look for it someday.

That’s not a good sign. When the left gets disappointed they do bad things.

If you’re a left wing whacko like CJ, until hell freezes over…..
The day CJ admits he was wrong about something like this is the day I vote for someone named Hussein for President.
I like Chens posts, and I love the back and forth it brings. It takes you out of the safe zone and makes you think, not for long. but at least you have to validate yourself.
Hey Savage, you see John Ziglar is back on the air 1260/540 AM from 11 to 1. First week out and he’s been making some serious national news. Gonna be a show to keep an eye on.
Now about all these Star Weird fanatics here, this may be a deal breaker.

Actually I’m video retarded, my wife can verify this. While I can recite the year, writer, group and members of many songs. I cannot stand to watch a video twice, or if I do I do not remember the actors even if they were in the previous movie I watched last. Its a gift.

re: #53 by Sparky
I like John Ziglar. When he was on KFI in LA I called in and had a great moment on talk radio. It was the once a month ask him whatever you wanted. Well, he had just gone up north to investigate a now forgotten issue. I think it was an execution of a murderer. Anyway he was grabbed in the ass by a protester.
So I asked him about that ass grab. He wanted to know why I asked. So I politely asked him if it was just a two finger pinch or a full on palm down finger wrap type of grab on his buttocks. He became interested why I would inquire about the grab, and I ended with… This liberal may have just wanted to know what a racists ass felt like.
I got a signed book for the call.
re: #53 by Sparky
Ziegler’s back? wow, that is kewl!
re: #58 by song_and_dance_man
Sweet, well he’s baggin big time on KFI now. 2nd day on air Sarah Palin interview, 3rd day MSNBC where he tore the lib interviewer a new one and had his mike cut off. Day 4 Rushbo was talkin about him. He has a new movie out too. More will begin to hear about him.

Yeah, but I give him kudos for coming back in good form. Not all bent out of shape, like many .0ers we know.

Right you are! Someone even dedicated an entire blog entry to the topic:

re: #63 by Sparky
So true, he is a gentleman with his politics. Much like Gordan. Always balanced with a reasonable and within their ideal an apologetic response.
UPDATE: I must change that. Chen doesn’t apologize as much.
And for those who think I mean the common definition of apology, that is not what I mean. Look it up.
re: #65 by song_and_dance_man
And to fair to him, when he starts to get 4 and 5 repliers back to back it does become hard to make cogent defense to them all. Viva 2.0!

Kid Icarus and his new hero, Jew hatin’ von Brunn can discuss the evolution of the white race together, then pat each other on the back that ‘at least they ain’t fascists’…oh well, von Brunn claims to be one and Icarus acts like one…again…von Brunn is not on the left…he and 1.0 are drifting on the bottom of the political spectrum where all big government, God-denying, freewill opposing, totalitarian regimes exist!

I have the original Star Wars score on vinyl.
I think its worth like 10 bucks on ebay.
re: #78 by bar
Do you remember the disco-ized version of the Star Wars theme music?
My sister had a copy of it on a .45 in the 1970s, and I used to listen to it when I was a kid. It had the Cantina music in the middle of it.
Cloudy
Well not tell you mentioned it and I went looking.
Is this it?
re: #80 by bar
Yes, that was it! AWESOME!
There aren’t many things I liked in the 1970s, but that was one of the few cool things. Cheesy but cool.
I remember listening to that .45 record in my sister’s room on her stereo when I was a kid.
There was another odd movie song from the 1970s – my sister had the .45 to that one too, but I can’t remember what it was called.
Some band took dialog from various mid-1970s movies and put it together to make a story. I remember a few lines from ‘JAWS’ was in it.
Anyway – thank you for that video, I enjoyed hearing that song again.
Oh. Politico. Snore.
Left wing maniacs who characterize someone who questions the O’s ‘credential’s’ as fringe are myopic. . . and so much worse.
No, I am NOT in league with this white supremacist whacko.
But I do definitely question the O’s credentials.

It was like cops, but with stormtroopers.
