Just to clarify: this disturbed young man also cited an Ayn Rand book and _Animal Farm_, as well as Plato. This is an admixture of ideologies which is neither left nor right, but the jumblings of a sick mind. ANYONE using political labels at this point is ill-informed and should delay pronouncements.

This applies to Freepers as much as it does to the media.

I understand, and I also note the media is combing through his various rantings to find anything anything that sounds remotely "conservative" -- while ignoring the obvious.

The obvious point is that people like Ayn Rand, George Orwell and Plato never advocated violent revolution.

But violence and revolution are the core of what International Socialism (Karl Marx) and National Socialism (Adolf Hitler) are all about.

Of course, I'm not saying the shooter isn't nuts.
But tonight the mainstream media is staying up late trying to figure out how to blame this on Rush Limbaugh, or Glen Beck or Mark Levin, for Christ's sake.

Or Free Republic. Think about that...
