Weekly Standard may have been a target of DC gunman – Update: He also may have targeted Fox News. And he might be a democrat. Update 2: Chris Matthews tries to pin this on Sarah Palin!

More evidence that this lunatic isn’t a conservative or a republican. Politico reported that the FBI found the address of the conservative magazine Weekly Standard in Von Brunn’s car.

Two other sources said two FBI agents arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m. Thursday at the 17th Street offices of the magazine. They told staffers that they had found the address of the magazine on a piece of paper associated with the shooter, James von Brunn, and asked whether the Standard had received any threats.

The magazine is about a mile north of the Holocaust Museum, and there’s no other indication that von Brunn had targeted it. Von Brunn’s published rants included attacks on “neocons,” and the Standard has been at the heart of the neoconservative movement.

The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view of the racist shooter in contemporary left-right terms. Von Brunn’s white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a “right-wing extremist,” but the substance of his views — which included everything from believing that President Bush may have been in on the September 11 attacks to denying that President Obama is an American citizen — are too far on the fringe to fit into conventional political classification.

Update: It’s not confirmed, but Von Brunn may be a Democrat. Gateway Pundit has a mini-profile of the mad man, who may also have targeted Fox News.

Update 2: Chris Matthews asked if Sarah Palin is talking the language of right wing nuts. You know, while trying to pin this savage act on conservatives.

    I thought that Glen Beck did it. I read that in the internet.

    And the left is still clueless that Team Obama and their “I don’t care what the little people may want, I won, I’m king of the world and it will be remade in my image” attitude is creating a very real, dangerous, simmering boil among otherwise gentle natured people. They don’t want to believe, in general, that action creates REaction, but they should wake up to it—-the daily barrage of oppressive hate in the form of Obama and the fawning media are creating dangerous times. I know so many people who are otherwise just not engaged in the idea of politics who are building to a shocking anger because of the way these people are remaking the country and basically telling us that we are stupid, and losers, so get on board or go shut up.

    That’s always a dangerous way for a government to treat its citizenry. I just feel the need to be more aware of my surroundings now, and what environment I am placing myself in. I fear that this is just going to become a much more prevalent thing in the near future.
