Norway massacre

What a tragedy.  And what makes it all the more appalling is that the attacks were perpetrated by a man who purported to seek a return to the glory days of white, Christian Europe.  He shares much in common with another homegrown terrorist, Timothy MacVeigh.  Right before beginning his massacre, he posted a 1500+ page manifesto online (summary here, and I believe that the full text can be found via a link here), which draws from the same underpinning sources as the right-wing "Christian worldview" -- which might explain why Pat Buchanan approves.  Another source on which he apparently, and unsurprisingly, drew was the anti-Islamic venom of the likes of Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller (warning: don't spend too much time on these sites, they are bad for you [or, see this fun takedown of Spencer to balance them out]).  All in all, a tragically sad story, but perhaps not so surprising; violence like this is an inevitable consequence when unstable people are continually exposed to hateful rhetoric.  :-(
