Domestic Terrorism
So, for the second time in two weeks, a right-wing fanatic committed a terrorist attack on a target within the U.S. Domestic terrorism. The first of course was the killing of Dr. Tiller in KS. By the way, the accused murderer has claimed that there are several other assassination plots in the works against the "baby killers", so where are all the right-wingers advocating his water-boarding? Or is that only good against non-white terrorists? Not that I would advocate it in either case...

But now there is this guy, 88 year old James W. von Brunn who walked into the U.S. Holocaust museum and opened fire. The man is a well known hater, neo-nazi, and holocaust denier. This is exactly the sort of right-wing attack that the DHS warned about in that now famous memo a few months ago.

AND some are claiming that anti-semitism is a left-wing problem, because, after all, all authoritarianism, hatred, and dead kittens are all due to progressive thought. The mental gymnastics necessary are impressive. If I was that fit and flexible, I wouldn't need to direct to be outstanding at fencing...
