Yet Another Right Wing Gunman

A second right wing gunman in as many weeks has to draw some attention to the fact that the militant right wing being propped up and incited by Fox News and right wing hate radio and its talking heads is a serious matter.

This is the third such gunman in a year's time.
  • Last week was the murder of Dr. Tiller by a right wing anti-abortionist.
  • Last summer was the shooting deaths at a Tennessee church by a right wing Warrior, who while being arrested quoted lines from a Michael Savage book and who had in possession at his home numerous right wing extremist books from Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity to name a few.
  • Also last week we learned of former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough's connections to a Florida right wing, anti-abortionist and convicted murderer.
Today's gunman was part of the "birther" caucus of the Republican Party. That's the fringe Republican/conservative/wackos who believe President Obama is not an American citizen. It's become so Republican mainstream to perpetuate the "birther" movement that two Republican congressmen have bills that would require presidential candidates to present their birth certificates before they are allowed to run for the office. Now today we have a right winger shooting up a Holocaust museum who also just happens to believe the President of the United States is a foreign born enemy. Wonder where he's getting credence for such thoughts? Von Brunn is surely a guy Rep. Michelle Bachman would be very proud of.

And just listen to Shepard Smith from Fox News connect the dots by reading some emails they recieve daily at Fox from right wing extremists.



And here's the Leader of the Republican Party pushing the "birther" movement live on his radio show.



This is violence being incited by the right wing. We first saw it at McCain-Palin rallies and now it's reached a threshold of cold blooded murder. Be proud GOP, be very proud.
