Pentagon Shooter Was Fan Of Ron Paul Think Tank

[True_Blue]

"Information is being released on John Patrick Bedell, the man who shot two police officers at the Pentagon before being killed. His internet postings reveal that he was a libertarian, conspiracy theorist and fan of the Ludwig von Mises Facebook group.

as soon as this happened, Alex Jones freaked out and said they'd try to pin it on him

I'm not even going to link, you know where to look.

2. Him specifically, or on 9/11 truth? (how I heard it, it's the latter)

[NightWatcher]

3. AJ's version of the truth movement (and Ron Paul fandom)

he's claiming that more and more incidents will be blamed on truthers and pointed to him. Well, Alex, if you poke and prod your weak minded fans into doing stuff, you cant be upset when they do it and it gets pinned on you.

1. And Paul still has an "R" after his name, so.....

4. Ugh, cue the guilt-by-association ad hominem attacks

I've actually visited the Ludwig von Mises website and while I disagree with most of their economic policies I've never read anything from them that advocates violence. I've tried to find any but really couldn't. I actually saw more anti-war sentiment on the site than I expected.

Looks like he was a nut who took it too far and decided to embrace violence on his own terms.

5. Other sources say he was a member of the Democratic Party and a 911 Truther

Not sure any of it matters. He was nuts...

6. Exactly, yet, unfortunately, partisanship will drive people to always blame the other for everything

instead of realizing that nuts exist on both sides of the spectrum.

7. AND they say that the republicans are not promoting hate and violence

I think it is a shame that the FBI is letting us down. Boy they sure took everybody out who so much as frowned at bush, but the let the creepoids call for murder and mayhem and let it go. Any other time people from Fox such as beck and rush the fat butt tush would be in jail.
