"Why is this crazy man being associated with Ron Paul?" Here are a few possible reasons: 1) Because right before he went on his rampage, he turned over control of his website to Steve Reimink, whose live-in girlfriend was the Michigan coordinator for Ron Paul's campaign in 2008:

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.

2) Because he himself was/is a Ron Paul supporter. His most infamous posting on the Ron Paul site was titled: "HITLER'S WORST MISTAKE: HE DIDN'T GAS THE JEWS." 3) Ron Paul, racism, and anti-semitism have long been intertwined, as this TNR piece shows.

Thanks for the comments. If you liked or hated this post, you might be interested in my posts on each earlier End the Fed rally at the Minneapolis Fed as well as another with ACORN (with video) and an update on support from Minnesotans in Congress for Ron Paul's Fed-audit bill.

With all respect due to Mr. Steller, this is the most cowardly, scabrous, yellow piece of “journalism” I’ve ever seen, even here. This is almost too stupid for “Dump Bachmann”.

Blog response forthcoming.

Wow, this article is terrible. I agree, not journalism at all, just an attempt to associate those protesters with some loonbag murderer. Absolutely pathetic.

Why is this crazy man being associated with Ron Paul? That’s all this is doing!
It’s EXACTLY like saying that someone who voted for Obama is affiliated with him. Ridiculous.
This is not journalism

[...] This story is why you separate and castigate those extremists within your cause or organization. They become the face of your cause, and define you. Next time you hear people saying ridiculous things like, “IT’S TIME TO GET THE GUNS!” ask them to keep their opinions to themselves. [...]
