Scott Roeder (the alleged assassin of George Tiller) and James von Brunner (the apparent murderer of a Holocaust Museum security guard yesterday) are similar characters–older white men who have long nutured antipathy to the federal government, fixated on people who threaten their visions of social purity, be they abortion providers or Jews or blacks. Stephen P. Morgan, the much younger white man charged with murdering a Wesleyan University student last month, was likewise fixated on Jews. It is possible, even likely, that reports of Roeder inpelled von Brunner to go and do likewise. But it’s also plausible that these luckless, hate-filled, obsessed men have been pushed over the edge by the realization that they are living in Barack Obama’s America. Observers have jokingly identified a disease that afflicts Obama’s political opponents—Obama Derangement Syndrome. These guys suggest it may be a real condition–and that there are any number of others out there suffering from it.

Updatum: From von Brunn charging documents, a note found in his car:

You want my weapons — this is how you’ll get them. The Holocaust is a
lie. Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what his Jew owners tell him
to do. Jews captured America’s money. Jews control the mass media.
