Holocaust Museum Shooter: Christian hating Socialist
A review of his lengthy associations reveals Von Brunn hardly fits the stereotype of a Religious Right, GOP precinct captain. He denounced the Christian faith as a dastardly Jewish conspiracy, a “HOAX” invented by the Apostle Paul to “DESTROY ROMAN CULTURE” from within by undermining its pagan virility.

Like others on the racist fringe, the shooter proclaimed clearly: “SOCIALISM, represents the future of the West.”
[Of course, the government-led media were feeding the sheeple reports that this deranged lunatic was a "right wing" conservative. Authentic journalism is absent the MSM.]

Todd Palin Calls Out David Letterman, Again
Todd Palin: "Nice attempt by Letterman to draw the heat away from himself; however, Willow was the only one at the Yankees game and the only Palin child included in the photo opportunities with the Giulianis, as was obvious.
