7 Killed in Shooting at Sikh Temple - Continued

UPDATED: CBS News is reporting that the Wisconsin shooter has been identified as Wade Michael Page, who served in the U.S. Army for about six years.  As Joe Jervis at Joe My God notes, the right wing loon sites are becoming fearful that their constant messages of hate and bigotry may yet prove to be connected somehow with Page:

Right wing sites are falling over themselves in fear that a link between the shooter and themselves will be found. After the shooter was identified as former military and a possible white supremacist, Michelle Malkin's Twitchy site deleted a post denouncing "leftists" for linking the shooter to conservatives. Over at Free Republic, a 650+ comments thread variously blamed the shooting on a liberal "false flag" conspiracy and a federal plot to discredit the white race.

This morning CNN is reporting the following on this tragedy that took the lives of six people, plus the gunman:

(CNN) -- The gunman who shot six people to death and wounded three others during a rampage at a Sikh temple in a Milwaukee suburb was an Army veteran who may have been a white supremacist, according to a law enforcement source involved in the investigation.

One comment on the CNN report sums things up well:

Everyday immigrants are under attack by the Republican Party and their supporters. You have FOX News, Michelle Bachmann, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, the Minutemen, the Tea Party, and the list goes on and on.  These people paint them as an invading hoarde of aliens that is destroying America and feed the sick minds of their base. But when this sort of thing happens they scream don't blame us.  Well I do blame the Michelle Bachmans and the Glen Becks of the Republican Party.

In today's GOP, unless one is white, heterosexual and a conservative Christian, you aren't viewed as even fully human.  It's little wonder that some like this shooter resort to the violence that they are subliminally told is the proper course of action.   Racists, white supremacists, religious extremists and the ultra greedy who have no compassion for others now make up the base of the GOP.
