‘Maryland Monster’ Nazi Also Maybe Wanted To Attack Weekly Standard

Nutty old Maryland neo-Nazi coot James von Brunn hated the Liberals so much yesterday that some “new evidence” suggests he was going to go shoot up the offices of Bill Kristol’s Weekly Standard, later, because he hated neocons and Jews and Bill O’Reilly so much too.

Some folks simply do not care for the Jews, huh:

FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they’d found the magazine’s address…

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.

Ben Smith has a fancy new word for Jew-hating: “Anti-Semitism.” It means, “Jews + Bill O’Reilly.”

The focus on the Standard, though, appears to be of a piece with his central motivation: Anti-Semitism. In one essay, Von Brunn attacked “JEWS-NEOCONS-BILL O’REILLY,” and the suggestion that neoconservatism is a specifically Jewish conspiracy is common on the racist fringe.

    Obviously, this means he’s a LIEbrul.

    /jonah’ed

  2. Mark Sanford says at 3:00 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Am I the only one who thinks that his choosing the Holocaust Museum instead of Bill Kristol is doubly tragic?

  3. johnnypantalones says at 3:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    But…but….I don’t understand! I thought we had all decided already that this dude took his marching orders directly from Fox News? Are you saying that a crazy anti-Semite might not have been pushed to violence by the right wing hate machine?????

  4. x111e7thst says at 3:05 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Jews+Bill O’Reilly <= Falafel+loofah

  5. ALIVE! says at 3:06 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Wait, neoconservatism isn’t really a Jewish conspiracy?

    I know I’ve read a joke in a ‘respectable’ (not racist fringe) news source that the definition of “neoconservative” was “Jewish conservative.” Can’t remember where, but I’m not imagining that.

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 3:08 pm, June 11th, 2009

    This should make Bill O’Reilly’s day. When it’s all about you, you can never have too much reinforcement.

  7. mdotsota says at 3:09 pm, June 11th, 2009

    When will it not be too soon for the Human Dildo picture of Kristol to be used again?

  8. cheeto_jeebus says at 3:10 pm, June 11th, 2009

    It’s all so convoluted, I’m sure it would help if you could show us the connections these crazy jitbags are making. Maybe some brightly colored blocks or maybe a ball of string would help me visualize this shit?

  9. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:11 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Some people just like shooting other people.

  10. snideinplainsight says at 3:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    “but he was an elderly man, he wanted to go out with his boots on like the John Wayne movie ‘The Shootist.’”

    It would have been a laugh riot (RIOT!) to tell that guy that John Wayne was actually a Jew too.

  11. JimNewell says at 3:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    mdotsota: Ha ha. I considered, but maybe thought it would be inappropriate in a story about someone trying to murder him. Next time!

  12. OReillysVibrator says at 3:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    My namesake’s owner was targeted?! I’d hate if anything happened to him (until I can think of a handle I like more).

  13. BlueStateLibtard says at 3:12 pm, June 11th, 2009

    O’Reilly, Kristol, Jews, Fox, Wonkette posters, Hannah Montana…Oh just say that crazy old coot was against EVERYONE and leave it at that, who cares.

  14. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:15 pm, June 11th, 2009

    ALIVE!: Coulter said it in an interview.

  15. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 3:16 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Look, the Weekly Standard shares the same address as the American Enterprise Institute which is known to have one of the best cafeteria’s in the city. The Washingtonian told me. He probably just wanted to grab some chicken shwarma and chocholate chip cookies while he was in town shooting up musuems.

  16. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:17 pm, June 11th, 2009

    So does this mean the Holocaust shooting wasn’t a BIG WIN for progs?!?? Damn, I’m gonna have to take down my 6 dozen gloating Kos diaries on the subject…

  17. thejesusandmarycheney says at 3:19 pm, June 11th, 2009

    ALIVE!: Well, as Marcus Epstein tell us, it was the influx of liberal Jews that perverted conservatism by introducing such awful notions such as reverence for that plagiarizing syphilis-riddled Martin Luther King and equality of Negros and Whites.

  18. chascates says at 3:24 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Mark Sanford: This will become one of the top five in the list of ‘what ifs.’

  19. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:26 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Shoot or thank for championing that just going in and shooting everything up is the best way to solve all problems?

  20. Mr Blifil says at 3:29 pm, June 11th, 2009

    The FBI neglected to mention the note with the Weekly Standard’s address was taped to a fully stocked beer cooler.

  21. MARCdMan says at 3:29 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Couldn’t the doctors have just clamped this jerk’s carotid arteries, say he stroked out on the table and harvested his organs?

  22. Barry White Zombie says at 3:31 pm, June 11th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: but… John Wayne was a Nazi.

  23. Hooray For Anything says at 3:34 pm, June 11th, 2009

    How you like that DHS report now, bitches?

  24. snideinplainsight says at 3:35 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Barry White Zombie: You know, the Wayne/Jew thing was something my grandfather told me when I was like 6. Now, in the age of the internet, I may have to reassess this -

  25. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 3:38 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I always knew Marilyn Munster was hiding a dark secret.

  26. Rary Guppert says at 3:45 pm, June 11th, 2009

    from his note:

    “Obama created the Jews. Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do.”

    should i bother to be confused by this notion that you could create something 4000 years older than you, and then be owned by it after you create it? or should i just say the guy’s nuts and quit wondering about it?

    anyway, since there’s really no way to confirm or deny it, i’m gonna claim to have created the jews too. i might actually put it on my business cards. “Dr. Rary Guppert: Created Jews. Available for parties, banquets, retreats, and other occasions.”

  27. gurukalehuru says at 3:49 pm, June 11th, 2009

    They should give him one of those jew judges, and a jew/negro jury, who will ship his ass off to one of them jew jails and put him in with a bunch of negro cellmates.

    I hate Maryland Nazis.

  28. Lazy Media says at 3:57 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Prediction: there already exists a Freep post noting that National SOCIALISM is Socialist, and therefore leftwing, and that this nutjob was therefore a liberal, bedwetting communist.

    Bank it.

  29. Why would he be threatening them? Nothing was mentioned in the address. In all seriousness, he probably wanted to go there afterwards to crow about his victory.

  30. McDuff says at 4:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    I’ve heard of “suicide by cop,” but “suicide by Jew” has to be a first.

  31. Lazy Media says at 4:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    ALT TXT: Watch yer cornhole, bud.

  32. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 4:01 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Someone should IMMEDIATELY point out that there are left-wing, bunny-rescuing ‘terrorists’, too, so we can keep this thing fair and balanced.

  33. Lazy Media says at 4:04 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Maus: Klan types hate neocons, and believe they’re all Jews. They do not read The Weekly Standard. The Klan, unlike yer regular rightwingers, hates Israel and anything to do with U.S. power projection.

  34. mrpuma2u says at 4:07 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Maus: ‘zactly. Dude was prolly going over to see if Kristol had any brewskis, and was gonna crack a few and revel in the afterglow of a good jew-shootin’ and swap stories and such.

  35. Oldskool says at 4:09 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Now it’s obvious he was so motivated by blowhards he wanted to off one or two of ‘em.

  36. scarlett says at 4:16 pm, June 11th, 2009

    It’s the Clinton’s fault!

  37. bitchincamaro says at 4:22 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Mad Farmer Manifest: May Patty Hearst live long, for this exact reason.

  38. Lazy Media: Zactly. More of a Pat Buchannen style of Old instead a newer Kristol Pepsi type. SPLITTER!

  39. Cherry Garcia says at 4:30 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Rary Guppert: Wouldn’t this mean that he is acknowledging that Obama is God - cause in the Bible, God created the Jews or something like that.

  40. sati demise says at 4:34 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Rary Guppert: umm, sorry, but you have to be the Anti-christ.
    which is Nobama.

  41. IceCreamEmpress says at 4:35 pm, June 11th, 2009

    should i bother to be confused by this notion that you could create something 4000 years older than you, and then be owned by it after you create it?

    Look, you couldn’t do it. And I couldn’t do it. BUT OBAMA CAN! (Apparently, he was using the royal “We” throughout his campaign.)

  42. Violenza says at 4:41 pm, June 11th, 2009

    That picture makes me so sad for Bill Kristol every time, with his big ol’ belly pokin’ out like that.

  43. “Klan types hate neocons, and believe they’re all Jews. They do not read The Weekly Standard. The Klan, unlike yer regular rightwingers, hates Israel and anything to do with U.S. power projection.”

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They tolerate the Neocons and their closet-NWOing because they occasionally (like Beck/Bachmann) endorse Bircher / Alex Jones causes, unlike those democrat MARXIST FEMADEATHCAMPS. At least the standard didn’t want to take away his illegal guns!

  44. hockeymom says at 5:14 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino comes to mind. Except for the part when he turns good. That didn’t actually happen in this case.

  45. zenferret says at 5:25 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Rary Guppert: Available for other occasions? Can you handle a Bris Milah?

    Lazy Media: About the National Socialist distorters, I always point out to those types that Saddam’s elite troops were Republican guards.

    Lazy Media: Only Neo-cons love them some Israel. Older forms of conservative always hated the Jew and with it Israel. The left/right dichotomy on Israel flip-flopped with the rise of the Neo-cons cause they actually started as Democrats.

  46. Neilist says at 5:28 pm, June 11th, 2009

    He hated Bill O’Reilly and Billy “Reality Bites” Kristol?

    Shit.

    There goes the insanity defense: The old coot clearly has all of his faculities intact.

    (Gesh. Was that a line from “For Esmee: With Love And Squalor”? I hate when I start paraphrasing J.D. Salinger by accident.

    Where’s my Remington 1100? I have to go visit Fox News . . . .)

  47. Neilist says at 5:34 pm, June 11th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: Barry White Zombie: “John Wayne was a FAG, man!!!”

    How soon, how soon, they forget the Immortal Classics of the Cinema.

    In this case, “Repo Man.”

  48. imissopus says at 5:36 pm, June 11th, 2009

    My initial reaction to this was something along the lines of Homer trying to decide whether to vote for Sideshow Bob for mayor of Springfield:

    “Well, I like his no-bears policy, but I’m opposed to his kill-Bart-Simpson policy. Hmmm….” (checks box for Bob)

    Not the exact quote, but y’all get the flava.

  49. DoktorZoom says at 5:55 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Lazy Media: Well of course that’s the new right-wing meme: Liberals don’t like everything Israel does, and neo-nazis don’t like Israel, so neonazis are liberals!

  50. Lazy Media says at 6:37 pm, June 11th, 2009

    zenferret: Not so. Regular Xtian rightwingers love Izrul, too. It’s only the true nutball fringers that hate Israel (and some rightwing Catholics). Anti-Semitism is mainly a nutball and Midwest/northeastern richie thing. Southerners (aka most Republicans) mainly think of Jews as the heroes of the Old Testament, and therefore like them, if they’re not New York City pinkos.

    Most people who haven’t lived amongst the Klan don’t realize what a fringy fringe they are, even in their heartland. Think Code Pink with hoods.

  51. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 7:06 pm, June 11th, 2009

    We need Bill Kristol around so that he can continue to give bad advice to the Repubs.

  52. problemwithcaring says at 7:21 pm, June 11th, 2009

    johnnypantalones: Yes, if only those pundit bloggers knew he hated all Jews, your elderly psycho would not have been so unfortunately linked to all the innocent, non-violent wingnuttery on TV, radio and the internet. Are you fucking done now?

  53. keepinitrealyo says at 7:25 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Is it wrong for me to feel disappointed?

  54. johnnypantalones says at 7:31 pm, June 11th, 2009

    problemwithcaring: I don’t recall saying that TV, radio and internet wingnuttery were non-violent, because, you know, that would be fuckin dumb, just that it didn’t follow that because it is frequently violent rhetoric that it was RESPONSIBLE for this particular shooting. Are YOU done misrepresenting my point and getting your panties in a bunch?

    Jim was right to call the peanut gallery out for falling all over themselves to hold up this shooting and yelling “WE WUZ RIGHT!” And now I am being an asshole and gloating about my being right and Jim being right. Welcome to the internet.

  55. revbob says at 8:42 pm, June 11th, 2009

    Do you know anybody besides Von Brunn who went to the Eastern Shore and actually came back?

    AIPAC’s Isreal-first, dual-nationals:

    Federal Reserve liars.
