Count on the radical left to connect nonexistent dots
Posted by AWB in Politics, The Radical Left
The tragic shooting at the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday by 88 year-old white supremacist James Von Brunn, has captured media attention all over the globe. As always, you can count on both the leftwing kooks at MSNBC as well as the leftard bloggers to tie this person to the Republican party.
The always rabid folks over at Huffington Post blogged this entry at yesterday at 6:00 PM.
Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency.

Indeed a “birther” mindset is more a symptom of extremism than a cause.
That said, the extent to which the birther ethos has been driven into the political narrative by legitimate figures, and subsequently picked up by extremist elements, is noteworthy. In an obvious reference to questions about Obama’s birthplace, Rep. Bill Posey, R-FL, has introduced a bill in the House requiring presidential candidates to file a copy of their birth certificates. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-V.A, has joined him as a co-sponsor of that measure.
Then Alan Colmes, who runs the blog Liberaland at Alan.com seems to have used HuffPo’s blog entry as show prep plagiarized their post. He posted the following at 8:16 PM yesterday.
As such, he was also part of the birther movement claiming there is no valid birth certificate for President Obama. The sad part about this is that we have elected officials trying to give this craziness credibility. Congressman Bill Posey of Florida introduced a bill that would require presidential candidates to file copies of birth certificates, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia is a co-sponsor. Interesting company they keep
Colmes and HuffPo persecute two Republican congressman via an association that never existed. Amazing. HuffPo then associates Fox News’ reporting with inciting the violence.
Outside political circles, but still within the national spotlight, the view is much more widely articulated. As late as two weeks ago, for instance, Fox News was running a headline on its website, asking: “Should Obama Release Birth Certificate? Or Is This Old News?” On Wednesday morning, moreover, talk show host Rush Limbaugh sardonically compared President Obama to God, noting that, “God does not have a birth certificate either.”
Remarks like these aren’t inherently violent. They can be picked up, however, by individuals who are.
Back in April, CNN’s Rick Sanchez blamed Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and conservatives in general for gun violence and murders in America. Now they’re blaming conservatives for the actions of white supremacists. What next? I suppose they’ll blame conservatives for Obama’s failures.
