Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist

I was reading this guy's website and to attach any political tag to him would be inappropriate. He was just paranoid schizophrinic. All the Conservatives I know are quite sympathetic towards Jews. In fact you were more likely to hear the anti-semitic stuff from the anti-war movement in the last ten years than you were from the right. It was common to hear them talk about how the neo-cons had hijacked the Bush presidency, etc. Chris Matthews used to recite the names of all the Jews in the Bush Administration (Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith) and then ask rhetorically of some guest, "Aren't these the guys that are really in charge?"

I grew up in the evangelical sub-culture and anti-semitism was not present. Anti-Catholic bigotry was not uncommon but the Jews were viewed as "the chosen people". The holocaust was seen as proof of this. Catholics, in my experience, take quite a different view of the Jews. There's a definite, "They killed our Lord" mentality. This is what you see with Matthews and Pat Buchanan. My point is that Jew hating is pervasive and is not specific to any political movement. It's all around.
