Thom Hartmann: The Fingerprints of US right-wing Christian Terrorism

More details are emerging now about why Anders Behring-Breivik set off a car bomb next to a government building in downtown Oslo last Friday - and then drove to a political youth retreat on a remote island and gunned down nearly 70 teenagers to cap off the worst day of violence the nation of Norway has seen since World War 2. It turns out Breivik was taking his orders from the very same right-wingers who are spewing hate here in America. Breivik's 1,500-page manifesto included several references to well-known American cranks like Pamela Geller - Frank Gaffney - and David Horowtiz. The manifesto also cited right-wing American organizations like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies - the Middle East Media Research Institutie - and Pajamas Media. Basically - the manifesto reads like a "who's who" of radical right-wing bloggers - pundits - and phony experts who've set up shop - not in Norway - but right here in America to spread fear and hatred of Muslims. And if we don't start calling these inciters of violence what they are, the next mass murder may happen here in the US

All of Christian history is filled with murder of anyone who disagrees with them. Jesus Christ was no doubt a great man, but within a short time his movement was taken over by right wing degenerate fake christians, who have murdered hundreds of millions and claiming to do it in the name of christ, therefore defiling Christ. American right wingers are the modern version of this. They are simply Christianic terrorists and aren't even real christians. They defile all that they touch.

@freedom013102 "Christian Zionists are not true Christians." - True Scotsman fallacy. Shut the fuck up.

Christian Zionist cult leaders like Hagee and Robertson are trying to pretend that Breivik isn't one of them-I hope decent people don't let them off the hook. Christian Zionists are not true Christians.

This is a great little segment. I'll have to keep an eye out for The Big Picture. Don't think we get it in australia, but yay internet!

I love it how nobody blames jews and they are always "peace" loving individuals. Mossad was totally behind the norway attack. Norway is anti-Israel and backs palestine. But nobody seems to give a shit about that.

@relic501

Is that the strategy of the Mossad handbook? oh wait did I say something that is anti-Semitic?

@dizzymasekela You are painting with a wide brush on that statement.

America's only real enemies are Republicans.

Jesus freaks and militias(i.e. reich wing gun nuts) are most likely to murder Americans.
