Well, this certainly complicates the narrative that James von Brunn was a typical righty activist gone nuts after provocation by those evil-doers like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. In fact, it eliminates that narrative altogether. You see, von Brunn admittedly hated “neocons”, Bill O’Reilly, Fox News, Bush, McCain, and righties in general. He believed the incumbent Republican government was responsible for 9/11.
As Allahpundit says, he must be from the conservative-hating wing of conservatism.
Two other sources said two FBI agents arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m. Thursday at the 17th Street offices of the magazine. They told staffers that they had found the address of the magazine on a piece of paper associated with the shooter, James von Brunn, and asked whether the Standard had received any threats…
The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view of the racist shooter in contemporary left-right terms. Von Brunn’s white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a “right-wing extremist,” but the substance of his views — which included everything from believing that President Bush may have been in on the September 11 attacks to denying that President Obama is an American citizen — are too far on the fringe to fit into conventional political classification.
You know why? Because he wasn’t motivated by one political ideology in particular. He’s a psychopathic, anti-semitic, 9/11 Truther that seems to hate both sides of the political aisle. The man hates Christianity, Judaism, blacks, neocons, Obama, and just about anyone not named “James von Brunn” or “Adolf Hitler”. People need to stop trying to fit him into one political category or another. Plain and simple, he’s a murderous nutjob.
