QuoteA white supremacist who killed a security guard at a Holocaust memorial museum in the US has links to the British National party, which gained two MEPs in last week's European elections.
Yesterday it emerged that Von Brunn, a longtime antisemite, had attended meetings of the American Friends of the British National party (AFBNP), which was set up to raise funds from far-right activists in America.
Mark Cotterill, who ran the US-based organisation before it folded in 2001, said: "He did attend meetings. I have just checked my database and he is down as 'meetings only', so he was not a major donor, although he may have put some money on the plate when it was passed round."
The AFBNP treasurer, Todd Blodgett, also told the Washington Post that he and Von Brunn had attended fundraising meetings in Arlington County. The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, spoke to at least two AFBNP meetings and said the money raised by the organisation made a "significant contribution to the BNP's [2001] general election campaign".

The families of the half dozen Iraqi vets who have killed themselves might disagree - but I am sure you know better than they.

The fact that you would try to use a Wright/Obama slam to assert that two murders are not significant is pretty pathetic.
Perhaps if another soldier commits suicide, you could use his death to claim that Obama pals around with terrorists - that's always good for a point or two with fellow conservatives.
What is Pathetic billvon is the attempt to link the last murder to the right wing. First off, this guy was a nut case but, if you have to link him maybe you should look at what he has wrote and posted.
He hated Bush
He hated Newt
He hated Jews
He hated Neocons
He tried to take over the Fed Reserve
Looks really right wing to me
I will agree with one word in your post however

>the topic, thread, or report.
I was answering you. You said that the returning veterans are re-integrating into their communities in a calm and safe manner. Unless you consider suicide a "calm and safe" thing to do, you were wrong there.
I know that you will never, ever admit that. So to bring it back to the issue at hand -
The report mentioned several issues, including:
“Heightened interest in legislation for tighter firearms...may be invigorating rightwing extremist activity, specifically the white supremacist and militia movements.”
There has indeed been at least one killing connected with the overheated "Obama will steal my guns!" nonsense. So good call there.
"[L]one wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States."
Good call on the lone wolves; no terrorist cells yet.
“Rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat."
No evidence of that yet.
"The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment."
True; there have already been two attempts on the president's life, one of which came from a white supremacist movement.
