Anti-Israel Extremist @MaxBlumenthal Cited by Overland Park Jew-Killer

Posted on | April 15, 2014 | 73 Comments

Two days after “raging anti-Semite” Frazier Glenn Miller murdered three people at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas, liberal media have suddenly lost interest in Miller’s crime. Donald Douglas explains we need not wonder why:

Legal Insurrection points us to the Kansas murder suspect’s posting at [Vanguard News Network], where he extolls far-left anti-Semitic Israel-hater Max Blumenthal, “Jew journalist Max Blumenthal exposes and explains this attempt by a foreign government Israel, to buy the presidential election for the neo-con, war-mongering republican establishment.”

Oops. In 2006, Daily Kos bloggers had a panic because Miller ran for Congress as a Democrat. More from Professor Douglas:

And don’t forget, Max Blumenthal is a Democrat (his first book was a literally unhinged attack on the Republican Party). Indeed, his father Sidney Blumenthal, one of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s closest aides and confidantes, launched a major campaign to defend son Max against “liberal” (liberal!) attacks on his rabidly anti-Semitic book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel.

Now that Miller’s clear connection to the Left has been documented, the media narrative — which originally focused on the killer’s “right-wing” ideology as a motive — will shift to a more generalized “extremist” description, so as to obscure Miller’s anti-GOP, anti-Israel, anti-“neocon” orientation. Miller will cease to be a subject of national interest, much like Jared Loughner’s Tucson massacre faded from the headlines once it was learned that Loughner was obsessed with the 9-11 “Truther” conspiracy theory video Zeitgeist. The motives of murderers are of interest to the national media only if the story can be framed as a narrative to advance the liberal agenda.

    Unfortunately fundamentalism and fundamentalists are louder and thus heard, and the heavy hammer of dogmatic autocracy breaks the ground in blood, sweat and tears, slings and arrows combine with dirty bombs, heavy artillery and weapons of mass destruction.

    … The mystic persona of the great triad monotheistic religions: Sufism, Kabbalah and Christian Mysticism, however, are alive and well. …Which aspect will cover the coming age? Will flowers still bloom? Will there be a finger to point at the moon?

    Streicher cited Martin Luther, but it didn’t save him from the gibbet. If one wished to argue it, however, I would not contest some one contending that Blumenthal should be on the neighboring rope when they hang Miller.

    I love the way right wingers leave out their own culpability in things like this. He was also inspired by the very pro-life Christian Identity Movement that gave us bomber Eric Rudolph, although I’m sure some ashamed conservative is now making the argument he’s a “leftist” too, just like they have with the Unabomber, Tim McVeigh, etc.

    And if I’m not mistaken “neo-cons” aren’t exactly favored by grassroot conservatives, and especially isolationist, Ron Paul libertarian types who the shooter also seemed to admire. They’re not big on Israel either, or did you guys forget Pat Buchanan is one of yours, too? Go to just about any conservative blog there is, especially Breitbart, and you’ll always read harsh criticism of Israel coming from the right. What modern conservatives have managed to do(or have attempted to do) is shift anti-semitism from its right wing origins and where it remains to this day(hence why 75% of Jews vote democrat), to the left because of criticism of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians.

    As usual, you have no clue as to the origins of antisemitism, which is most definitely not part of evangelical, dispensational, and conservative Christianity, but rather part of mainstream, liberal, Christian denominations. Most American Jews don’t understand the theological split; Israeli Jews do.

    Ah the old “right wing” chestnut just never gets old for you on the Satanic Left. “Jews” vote leftist because they are leftists. Among the orthodox the vote goes heavily the other direction. The others are so called “reformed” which means they aren’t Jews in real way. They are ethnically Hebrew, but that’s as close as they get to being “Jews.”

    Like it or not, Hitler and his ilk were strong leftists. It was only after Germany began Operation Barbarossa that the left turned against Hitler for attacking their soviet homeland. Clearly your ilk has never recovered from it or been able to accept the truth of where Hitler lies on the statist spectrum.

    Hint: Hitler was a very strong statist, not an anarchist as you ignoramuses think. One day, you might actually be able to face reality. I’m not going to hold me breath, but one day you will, even if that reality is in front of God who will laugh at your attempt at evasion before His omniscience.

    Anti-Semitism was an old, old European bacillus, but one which infected far fewer people here; the Klan was anti-Semitic — they were also anti-Catholic, I’d point out — but they simply weren’t all that big, and pretty much faded away a couple of generations ago.

    The real anti-Semitism in the United States has grown and festered for roughly forty years, growing from some feelings of sympathy for the Palestinians, to anti-Zionism and anti-Israel ideas, which are at least intellectually defensible, but didn’t take long for that to grow into full-blown anti-Semitism. I have read things from flat out liberals who will try to justify things because the Joooos take care of their own, because — get this! — the trading floors are half-empty on Jewish holidays, because, well just because Jews have divided loyalties, to Israel first, them America.

    Let’s face it: American Jews are the greatest practitioners of what we like to claim is the American dream: study hard in school, to get the best grades, get into the best colleges you can, and work hard there, and then enter the professions, exactly what we say everybody should do, but which the fairly tightly-knit American Jewish community does a bit better at; their culture is a culture which prepares its children for success!

    But, alas! it’s apparently no different here than in Europe, where the very success of the urban Jews — the rural Jews of Eastern Europe aren’t part of this — led to envy and jealousy by Christians, and to the demagoguery of anti-Semitic politicians; der Führer was simply the worst example, but was nowhere close to the first.

    And this is what still amazes me: the two most loyal Democratic voting demographics are blacks (roughly 90%) and Jews (about 75%), the two groups with the worst and the best internal cultures for economic and social success in America.

    Indian Americans/American Hindus (and Asian Americans in general) vote D in similar proportions to US Jews, but they (Indian Americans) tend to have slightly better education, economic success & cultural success (lowest divorce rates etc.)

    The proud Democrat Klan ran that party for over a century. The NYT sneered at the 1924 DNC as “the Klanbake in New Jersey”, while as late as the Truman administration Harry wouldn’t go against the Klan because of their power as Democrat kingmakers.

    Their formal leadership may have publicly moved away from those days, but their base still happily embraces them. If you want proof, look at the bile they dumped on West, Condi Rice, Steele, and Cain. Twitter shows that prime Democrat bigotry is alive and well and moved out of the South into the rest of the country.

    More schooling, not necessarily more educated. I wouldn’t call a liberal arts major “educated” these days. You can lie to them about science, you can lie to them about history, You can lie to them about economics, you can lie to them about public statements, and they just don’t know enough to call bullshit. But they feel very deeply about things.

    And you didn’t understand my comment. I suggest you do a little research about Dispensational Christianity, which in America consists of most Evangelicals v. Substitution Theology espoused by very liberal denominations. Evangelicals do not support fringe, antisemitic groups. As I said before, ask an Israeli which group they prefer and they’ll tell you “American Evangelicals” every time.

    But then, you probably don’t want to do that sort of research because it would harsh your mellow during your rare breaks from bouts of Progressive fantasy induced onanism.

    You miss the point. It’s not so much that this turd Miller is a leftist, per se – he is a whack job – but that he’s a vicious anti-Semite that is more easily linked to the left than the right, if linking him to one or the other is the intended project.

    That puts the onus back on the antisemitism. Well, the great bulk of sophisticated antisemitism these days is found on the left. Sure, you can find a drunk redneck anti-Semite passed out someplace in the back of a trailer, but the real antisemitic action these days is found in faculty lounges, leftist political organizations, among Davos elites, etc.

    Yes, we know that Jews still vote overwhelmingly for a Democrat Party that is aligned with a Muslim Brotherhood-sympathetic left. We just don’t get it.

    while as late as the Truman administration Harry wouldn’t go against the Klan because of their power as Democrat kingmakers.

    Um, no. The second incarnation of the Klan was a fad organization with a membership which grew from nil in 1915 to a six digit sum in 1924. They then went into a demographic implosion which left them with a five digit membership by 1940. The organization formally dissolved in 1944. (What made Robert Byrd’s organizing activity in West Virginia so odd was that it was so out of time – rather like selling War Bonds in 1963 – and in a locale where blacks were demographically unimportant). It was refounded in 1946 and then dissolved into detritus in 1949. There was a minor revival after 1953, but the membership of the successor organizations did not get out of the five digits and it hardly mattered outside Mississippi and Alabama. The Klan could not have been less important during the Truman years.

    Sorry, wrong answer: the more educated you are, the more probable it is you voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 (except for those with post-graduate study, a group heavily dominated by teachers), and the more money you made — an indicator of education — the more probable it is that you voted Republican.

    On the other hand, if you were a high school drop-out, your were almost twice as likely to vote for Barack Hussein Obama, and if you made less than $50,000, you were probably an Obama voter.
