Von Brunn - Ron Paul connection?

[proud2BlibKansan]

The registration for James Von Brunn's now-defunct white supremacist website, HolyWesternEmpire.org, was transferred out of Von Brunn's name on June 1, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The information, which SPLC obtained through a search of online records, suggests that Von Brunn was at the time planning the attack on the Holocaust Museum of which he is now suspected, and may have wanted to ensure that the site continued.

Heidi Beirich of the SPLC told TPMmuckraker that on June 1 the site was transferred from Von Brunn's name into that of Steve Reimink, of West Olive, Michigan. Searches of online records by others confirm that the site was registered to Reimink at the time of the shooting yesterday.

Reimink's email address begins "steveo1488." Both 14 and 88 are numbers of particular significance in neo-nazi culture. Von Brunn also at time used the number 88 after his name.

A woman named Patti Thompson, who is listed as a coordinator for the Ron Paul campaign in Michigan, shares the phone number that's given for Reimink in the domain records for the site -- and who appears to be his girlfriend.

This is very interesting to me because we have a large and vocal Ron Paul group here. I have been on their email list for a couple years. Since Obama was elected, many of them have gone off the deep end into racism and strange causes. It's been fascinating to watch them evolve from a group that promoted the constitution to a group of narrow minded bigots. The majority of them hate Obama, think he is a Muslim and not a US citizen, think the Minutemen are to be admired, oppose all gun control, oppose abortion and despise undocumented immigrants. They also went nuts over the Homeland Security watch list that mentioned fringe groups and militias.

Very interesting connection indeed.

1. I wondered how long it would take

for a Paultard to slip in there. A lot of them are like LaRouchies, only Republican.

2. Their racism has been pretty obvious for some time now.

This really doesn't surprise me.

10. I don't think I ever heard Ron Paul say anything inflamatory...I don't

like his politics but I don't think he is a rabid person... unlike many of the repugs and faux news..

12. IIRC, he had a newsletter back in the '80's or '90's

There were some racist articles in it and I believe he wrote them. This subject came up on this board when he was in the repub primary back when it all started up. It served as a reminder that he was not all sunshine, legal weed, and unicorns.

7. The Paultards were all born in the shallow end of the genepool and drowned in the deep end long ago.

You have to be particularly dense not to realize that Ron Paul is a crazy Nazi nutbag.
