<!--start-->In an utterly disrespectful display of vicious political point scoring, bloggers and commentators have jumped on yesterday?s[6/10/2009] tragic shooting at the Holocaust museum in Washington DC, insinuating that it justifies the Department of Homeland Security?s recent classification of gun owners and veterans as dangerous right wing extremists.
One case in point is Washington Post blogger Ed O?Keefe?s column, which is today titled"Does Holocaust Shooting Validate Homeland Security Report?"

?Did that controversial Homeland Security report on right-wing extremists get it right?? O?Keefe asks, referring to the recently leaked Homeland Security intelligence assesment that characterized millions of American citizens as potentially violent terrorists who are a threat to law enforcement.
All the usual politicized groups that masquerade as ?civil rights? organisations, while at the same time lobbying for the complete elimination of liberties have pounced on the incident in their droves.

?I think this latest round of killing once again shows how ridiculous the criticism from the right of the Department of Homeland Security report was. That whole brouhaha was absurd,? said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the group cited as a research source in the recent MIAC report, which characterized Ron Paul supporters as extremists.
?We felt the DHS report was pretty right on,? said Deborah Lauter of the Anti-Defamation League. ?Clearly the election of Obama, the current financial crisis, and the discussion of immigration reform ?those things have certainly fueled the right wing extremist movement in this country?.There are clear indications that the rhetoric is manifesting. We hope it?s not the tip of the iceberg.?

The left and the right are so obsessed with bickering and winning pointless moral victories over each other that the absolute destruction of everything America stands for becomes a secondary concern.
Highlighting how completely isolated from reality they are, those attempting to exploit this awful tragedy to score political points, whether it be from the right or the left, is so far beyond contemptible, it defies belief.Meanwhile, the corporate and financial elite are happy to play both sides off against each other while they carry on, almost completely undeterred, with their freedom destroying Social Darwinist agenda.
