Blame for Holocaust Museum Shooter Thrown in Wrong Direction

It’s an unfortunate and all-too-common practice to take a tragedy and twist it to fit your own political purpose, but the loon who killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC proves that this has become a political national pastime of sorts.

Lefties — in these two examples from the Daily Kos — have linked the murderer, James W. von Brunn, to Rush Limbaugh (for a pretty lame and weak reason — heck, I’ve made Obama birth certificate jokes as well, so obviously I’m also partly accountable for a museum murderer), and, of course, to the conservative “tea party” movement.

In actuality, as is reported in the Examiner, von Brunn left behind a vast trail of writings, making it clear that he hated neocons, Bush, McCain and other Republicans and was also a 9/11 conspiracy kook.

Hmm, who else hates Bush? This means the gunman has more in common with the aforementioned Kos lefties than Rush Limbaugh or tea partiers — but I hesitate to mention that because, like I said earlier, it’s unfortunate when people do that — unless it’s for reasons of self-defense.

The fact is the guy was just plain nuts, and both the right and left need to admit that and move on — but what are the odds that will happen?
