2. Typical RW nut.

3. From the news reports it sounds like the guy is a Timoth McVeigh type.

Here he is:



This is the most Norwegian-looking Norwegian I've ever seen. Also, note the popped collar on his polo shirt. This would indicate that, in addition to being a murderous right-wing extremist, he's also a douchebag.

4. KO said the Norwegians are describing today as their Oklahoma City

Fugging RW children murdering scumbag.

[Edweird]

7. To his credit: no spray tan and no 'fish face', but that whole shooting kids thing

totally wipes out any points gained from that.

5. Uh-oh, that's not going to sit well with some conclusion-jumpers I've seen here and there.

6. That would include Glenn Greenwald on Salon.

He went off on a rant about how Norway has troops in Afghanistan (as part of the NATO operation) so of course they'd eventually get bombed by terrorists.

I do recall that after the Oklahoma City bombing, long before 9/11, many politicians and media types also assumed it was the work of foreign extremists.

All countries and societies have a few of their own evil, murderous nutjobs.

12. Yes, Diclotican. I hope he checks in with more information.

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Sounds like we have 2. I hope Diclotican checks in.

9. McVeigh never saw the faces of his victims. This asswipe picked them off through a gun scope.

I hope they draw and quarter his ass.

10. ...wrote that the fight is between nationalism and internationalism...he calls himself a nationalist

"Anders Behring Breivik has been active in various right-wing forum in Norway and he has among other things, wrote that the fight is between nationalism and internationalism. According to VG, he calls himself a nationalist. He has also written a number of Islam-critical posts. According to a childhood friend who talked with Distinction, he was right wing in the upper 20s."
