Quote of the Week - Crackpot Edition

"The American Right-wing with few exceptions is totally Pacifist. The [right wing] does NOTHING BUT TALK. MORAL: America dies for want of men." Right-wing nutball James von Brunn on his web site, as quoted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, via Balloon Juice.

Yeah, he's a liberal.

Limpballs, et al: Right is Left; Also, Up is Down

Southeast Missouri State dropout (after two semesters) Pig-man "Pills" Limbaugh has done some Orwellian spinning in the past, but his attempt to paint Holocaust Museum shooter James von Brunn as a leftist out-Orwells Orwell. Sadly, the Pig-man is not alone on the far right in trying to cast this latest example of right-wing extremism as something other than what it was; as right/left neutral -- or worse, as Leader Limpballs would have it, the work of a lefty.

Living in an alternate reality is one thing; mangling and distorting history is another. You can have your inane opinions, but there's only one set of facts. The facts scream that von Brunn was a man of the lunatic, far right. He's all yours, boys...

Another Right-Wing Terrorist

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."
