Earlier this afternoon, a right wing extremist fired shots in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. The shooter, James Von Brunn, had a previous arrest record for anti-government activities, and has a white-supremacist website.
Again, recall the report by the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year that warned about right-wing extremists acting out their rage, especially now that an African-American is President. They are being spurred on by very loose and inflamatory hate speech by wingnut radio, Fux News, and Rethug politicians. Time to crack down?
UPDATE: Think Progress has information about Brunn being one of those "Obama's birth certificate is missing" crazies, who was cited (until the shooting) by the popular crackpot right-wing blog "Free Republic."
