Lincoln famously said it is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt. There are a bunch of liberals in the media and the blogosphere today who really ought to heed Lincoln before they presume to report or comment on yesterday's tragic events at the Holocaust Museum.
The conventional wisdom among these folks is that because Holocaust Museum murderer James W. Von Brunn hates Jews, he must therefore be a "right-wing hater" clearly have not read Von Brunn's stuff, or they read only the parts that serve their ideological agendas.
Erick Erickson of Red State points to these facts that are clear from Von Brunn's writings:
- Hated Christians.
- Despised Bush and McCain.
- Posted lengthy rants about “Neocons” involved in Jewish conspiracies to alter U.S. foreign policy in favor of Israel.
- He placed credence in 9/11 “truther” theories.
You should read the rest of Erick's post, too, because he provides multiple links from Daily Kos of statements by commenters that are virtually inter-changeable with Von Drunn's sick ranting. And while you are at it, check out this post by Ben Johnson at Front Page. Front Page is published by David Horowitz. Nobody else alive today in America knows the modern Left like Horowitz.
As for anti-semitism, people who constantly associate that sickness with the Right either are ignorant of history or are purposely spinning things to deceive listeners and readers. Beginning toward the end of the Cold War, there was a regular stream of planes flying back and forth between Moscow and Israel carrying millionsof Soviet Jews to freedom.
Soviet communism, particularly during the Stalin era purges, was at least as anti-semitic as Hitler's National Socialist German Workers Party aka "Nazis." If you doubt me, just Google "Stalin murdered Jews" and start reading the links. You will learn how Stalin's pogroms resulted in the deaths of millions of Soviet Jews. Don't miss the links to "The night of the murdered poets."
