Scrawled on a notepad found in the car of Holocaust Museum shooter James von Brunn Wednesday:

“Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do.”

Spoken to reporter David Squires by President Obama’s former mentor, counselor and pastor the same day:

“Them Jews ain’t going to let him [President Obama] talk to me.”

Leftist bloggers and the government-run media would have you believe that von Brunn has more in common with “right-wingers” (libspeak for “conservatives”) than with any other group.

But these quotes are evidence of a certain like-mindedness between the shooter and the neo-Marxist pastor of the church Barack Obama used to attend before his inauguration as this country’s 44th president.

Both Wright and von Brunn are racists who hate Jewish people. Both adhere to variations of socialist doctrine. Conservatives recoil in horror at both racism and socialism. These are not our people. Those pointing their fingers at the right over the madman who killed Stephen Tyrone Johns, the good man who tried to be helpful to von Brunn by opening the museum door for him, should look closer to home.

Last May, in the heat of the Democratic primary and coming off of a disastrous showing in the Pennsylvania primary, Barack Obama reversed course and publicly denounced his controversial pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, after refusing to do so the month before. In his now famous Philadelphia speech on race relations, Obama said he could no more disown Wright than he could disown the black community. Wright then made an appearance at the National Press Club on April 28th, one week after the Pennsylvania primary, in which he refused to recant his controversial sermons, the revelation of which had brought pressure on the Obama campaign. Soon after, Obama would disown him, using the pretext of Wright’s affirmation of his sermons as the reason for his change of mind.

Wright disappeared from the campaign after that, disproving speculation that he was out to destroy Obama’s campaign out of anger at his former charge’s repudiation. At the time, I questioned whether it was all a set up. Did Obama and Wright conspire together to get Wright and the controversy surrounding Obama’s 20-year attendance at his Trinity United Church out of the news in advance of the crucial North Carolina and Indiana primaries? Now, there may be proof.
