The headline: Lone Gunman Shoots Holocaust Museum Guard
The suspect: An elderly neo-Nazi
That his website is called "Holy Western Nation" tells us pretty much all we need to know about would-be assassin James Von Brunn, who today gunned down a guard at the Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D.C. Von Brunn was well known both to civil rights groups and other neo-Nazi, white supremacist "Christians," a passionate, educated, and media savvy scourge of the South. These filth-mongers, like the good men at Kinist.org and Spirit/Water/Blood.com, pour out hatred of Jews, Blacks, and other non-whites while claiming a homeless Jew of questionable birth as their Savior -- and do so even when calling Jews today "a walking curse."
The disconnect here is the least disturbing element of Kinism; the most disturbing is that even one person in history has uttered such hate without being publicly, sharply, and unhesitatingly rebuked by the Church he or she claims as their own. But Kinism and other philosophies of racial supremacy haven't been silenced and transformed by the Church. Too often, it's the Church -- the covenant people of Jesus Christ -- that has nurtured and proclaimed Kinist filth, wallowing in some white European ideal that speaks against both reality and against the Gospel.
The violence today at the Holocaust Museum wasn't just an example of one crazy person going off on a rampage. It was an assault against Jews past and present, and until the Church condemns not just the violence but the evil philosophy that propels it, it will have to continue to explain how it is that people can seize hold of a Satanic worldview and do so finding comfort and support within its own walls.

Apparently Jews were not the only targets of Von Brunn's hatred:

I need to stress that I'm not a Kinist, but the Kinists I have encountered online have made it clear that they consider people like Von Brunn to be totally pathetic -- among the world's biggest losers. Bundling them together with someone like Von Bunn would be like bundling you together with a radical feminist who worships "the goddess" and advocates deliberately getting pregnant in order to have the "empowering" experience of aborting the baby in her womb. Such a bundling would be entirely appropriate since you are both "feminists," right?
If your writing is to rise above mere polemics and name-calling, you are going to have to do your homework and actually present your opponents' positions in ways that are at least recognizable to them.
I think there are good reasons to disagree with Kinists, but even though the bottom line for me is that I can't agree with them, I frequently share their exasperation that their opponents do not really interact with what they are saying. I know they make things unnecessarily hard for other people through their frequent use of deliberately provocative, over-the-top rhetoric, but if we are to really engage the enemy we really need to have them in our sights. Spray-and-pray is only good for wasting ammo.
