KS Shooting Suspect Frazier Glenn Miller’s 2010 Interview: He’s a Fan of Ron Paul

“It’s the Jews, stupid”
US News • Views: 19,490

YouTube

In a 2010 interview on The David Pakman Show, white supremacist murder suspect Frazier Glenn Miller talked at length about his twisted ideology of hate, and revealed that he’s a huge admirer of Ron Paul. (Which shouldn’t surprise anyone, by the way.)

At this time, Miller was running for the US Senate in Missouri, under the slogan “It’s the Jews, Stupid.”

Other people Miller cites approvingly: Pat Buchanan, Louis Farrakhan and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And it’s obvious what all these people have in common — hatred of Jews.

Frazier Glenn Miller originally appeared on The David Pakman Show in April 2010. In November 2013, he exchanged a series of emails with host David Pakman. Emails are available here: davidpakman.com

Just in case anyone thinks Ron Paul is just a kindly old grandfather, don’t take his statements at face value. He is racist to the core. I think everyone may have already seen this, and know it, but just in case…

Very little shocks me about this. I’ve found over the years a remarkable number of Paul’s fans are more than a little racist. I’ve also found that the amount of excuse making for Ron Paul on various of his “liberal” fans for that is equally remarkable.

Yeah, I listened to his nonsensical rant about how Jews control everything and just like every time I hear this bullshit I wondered where my portion of all this vast wealth and power is. But I guess I don’t have to have any of this to be guilty because all Jews are collectively guilty for everything that any of them does. These Jew-haters are also happy to point out that “the Jews invented communism”. Sure, Marx may have had Jewish ancestry but just how did all of us collectively invent communism?

This crap really pisses me off and my heart goes out to moderates in the Muslim community that are also treated as guilty parties every time a jihadist somewhere causes mayhem, violence and death.

Well yes. The shooter had very obvious reasons.

I can understand why relatives of the victims might feel that way though. The victims of this hate crime didn’t do anything at all except go to their local community center. Their relative is dead for seemingly no reason at all.

I got it fed to me on another list with links to the corner and infowars (Alex Jones).

My favorite clue-by-4: “This man telling you that BLM’s attack on Bundy is really driven by Reid’s solar energy desires is also telling you the government was behind 9/11, the OKC bombings, Sandy Hook, and several devastating tornadoes and hurricanes; he says the moon landings were faked and thousands of astronauts have been murdered to keep the secret.”

“For no reason” is a very sad dodge. I mean, I guess it helps people to cope with it, but it’s very, very counter-productive. It removes our responsibility to deal with the problem, and chalks it up to base randomness, which really isn’t at all the case.

This man said certain things in certain ways using certain language. He supported certain ideologies, and rallied behind certain symbols. All of these things are well-understood in this day and age. We know what they are. We know what they mean. We know what people that support them do, or at the absolute least wish they had the “courage” to do.

And yet we continue to permit them. We continue to treat it all as innocent assholery, right up until people die because of it. And then we ask why they died “for no reason”.

It wasn’t “for no reason”. It was for a pretty damned clear reason, we just refuse to do anything about it.

The question that people should be asking. If this guy had a felony record (and served 3 years in prison for prior firearms violations and for ignoring court orders), how did he manage to get his hands on more firearms?

That will be an interesting investigation. Will probably turn up an illegal sale, a straw sale, or a private sale with the seller being “clueless” in some way. Still indicating that some rules require further tightening.

I am also curious what set this guy off at this point since his attitude and rampant anti-Semitism has been there for decades at this point. Emboldened by other events, some sort of personal health issue, who knows.

Reading the article: “He even unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primary for North Carolina governor in 1984 and as a Republican for a state Senate seat in 1987, the SPLC said.” Looks like his Democrat/Republican leanings were buried about equally in the article, and Instapundit lede into the story biased and misleading. A bit ironic given the complaints on this site about misleading ledes by other publishers.

Except he *didn’t* run as a Democrat. One confused DailyKos diary does not evidence make.

In 2006, three candidates vied for the Democratic nomination to MO-7, none of them Frazier Glenn Miller: sos.mo.gov

Miller ran as an independent write-in candidate in the general election and got 26 votes:ourcampaigns.com

What Miller did was heinous enough - it’s more than a little gross to turn this into a partisan thing. It boggles me to see this blog turn into an MSNBC of the right - I thought this was written by a libertarian, pro-gay marriage transhumanist, not a “whack my enemies with whatever is convenient, right or wrong” blog.

To be fair, the authorities didn’t want to be accused of jumping the gun when the case goes to trial. In addition, the definition of a hate crime varies (state code vs. what’s reported to the FBI, etc.), so they might have wanted to double check the state’s code to make sure they weren’t accused of biasing the jury with pretrial statements.

Trying to call him left wing is typical of the No True Conservative Scotsman fallacy that hacks like this guy do time and time again. Really, these people rail on the left for embracing diversity and yet they want to blame us for white supremacism because the Democratic Party was a white supremacist party in the 1870’s but yet they want us to ignore the fact that Nixon and Reagan both heavily courted the old Dixiecrat vote. You’re not going to see many liberals or leftists with a CSA flag on their car. Rightists OTOH…….

Son of ‘Race Traitor’ [F. Glenn Miller] Killed After Shooting Officer [2008]

Frazier Glenn Miller, who once went to prison for refusing to shut down his paramilitary White Patriot Party, wrote in a blog post that he doesn’t know why his son shot the “white man” who had pulled over to help him after a traffic accident.

But that didn’t stop Miller from naming a scapegoat: the Springfield, Mo., Police Department.

The shooting was part of a bizarre string of events on March 28 that began with a car accident and culminated in the death of Miller’s son, Jesse. Early that afternoon, an SUV driven by Jesse Miller, 30, hit a pick-up truck in Marionville, Mo. When Joseph M. Rich, 55, stopped to offer assistance, Jesse Miller killed him with a shotgun he had in his vehicle. Soon afterward, a Marionville, Mo., police officer arrived and ordered Miller to put down his weapon. Miller responded by shooting the officer, who then shot Miller dead. The officer, Andy Clark, suffered a non-life threatening shoulder wound.

Democrat Party (Epithet)

“Democrat Party” is a political epithet used in the United States for the Democratic Party. The term has been used in negative or hostile fashion by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party in party platforms, partisan speeches and press releases since 1940.[1]

Multiple reasons are suggested for the use of the term. A 1984 New York Times article suggested Republicans began to use the term when Democrats used their own party name to imply “they are the only true adherents of democracy.”[2] Republicans “feared that ‘Democratic’ suggested Democrats [had] a monopoly on or are somehow the anointed custodians of the concept of democracy.”[3] New Yorker commentator Hendrik Hertzberg wrote, “There’s no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. ‘Democrat Party’ is a slur, or intended to be—a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but ‘Democrat Party’ is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams ‘rat.’”[4] Political analyst Charlie Cook attributed modern use of the term to force of habit rather than a deliberate epithet by Republicans.[5] Ruth Marcus stated that Republicans likely only continue to employ the term because Democrats dislike it.[6] Marcus stated that disagreements over use of the term are “trivial”,[6] and Hertzberg calls use of the term “a minor irritation” and also “the partisan equivalent of flashing a gang sign.”

What a lot of people on the right refuse to admit is that their hostility to things like socialism was in part rooted in Anti-Semitism. That of course does not mean all Jews are leftists but rather that anti-semites used the fact that early socialists like Marx himself were Jewish as a means of strumming up hate.

Hell Washington rode out there himself during the rebellion. The founders problem as GG just got at was that they weren’t being given any representation in the British parliament. That hasn’t been the problem here. These people have representation which is something the colonists did not have in the years leading up to the revolution.

they might as well give up on this crap since it’s clear to anyone who isn’t working overtime on their denial and rationalizations where the center of racism in american politics is today

Instapundit is the CEO of denial and rationalizations of where the center of racism in american politics is today.

It’s the same rhetoric from the bottom to the top; from those who are all talk to those who kill people.

Yeah you ask people like that to explain if the Dems are such a racist and anti-semitic party why do racial minorities and Jews continue to support the Dems and you get some racially patronizing response about the “Dem plantation” because you know supporting a political party is just like slavery or how American Jews don’t know what’s best for them.

That’s one thing Libertarians seem to be good at— being patronizing.

We here at the Conspiracy Compound (my dog, cats, and I) have received intelligence that the Lubbock County Republican Party has quietly been purging the more outspoken antisemites and Birchers from its ranks, or at least from prominent positions. Several of these people were on the committee that wrote the notorious 2012 Lubbock GOP platform.
This will drive the kooks into the local Libertarian branch, whose chair-crank has said for the record that Russia Today is the only reliable media outlet in the world.

Yep. And god forbid if you don’t think Ron Paul is the best thing ever or the free market always works.

Best answer to the second claim: Microsoft. They dominate the market in the face of competition that not only has superior products but that often gives them away for free. It’s as though Chevrolet continued to flourish when you could get a Lexus for nothing.

re: #70 Ian G.

Can someone explain the “Democrat Party” weirdness that always comes along with this kind of deranged right-wing gibberish? Is there something wrong with saying “Democratic Party” that I’m not getting among right-wing true believers?

I’m guessing the answer is going to be something unbelievably childish and stupid.

they justify it by saying that they want to distinguish between the adjective ‘democratic’ small ‘d’ and an adjective describing party affiliation, but in reality it’s just a way to describe the democratic party in an insulting way that reaffirms one’s identity as an ignorant person who’s childish enough to enjoy referring to other people that way

Well these aren’t reasonable people. These are people who listen to hacks like Von Mises who want us only to focus on theory and ignore real world results. As I’ve said before, my biggest kick with Libertarians is seeing how deeply idealistic and naive they really are. They really seem to think that the country would be fine if we just did things their way.

re: #15 KerFuFFler

Yeah, I listened to his nonsensical rant about how Jews control everything and just like every time I hear this bullshit I wondered where my portion of all this vast wealth and power is. But I guess I don’t have to have any of this to be guilty because all Jews are collectively guilty for everything that any of them does. These Jew-haters are also happy to point out that “the Jews invented communism”. Sure, Marx may have had Jewish ancestry but just how did all of us collectively invent communism?

This crap really pisses me off and my heart goes out to moderates in the Muslim community that are also treated as guilty parties every time a jihadist somewhere causes mayhem, violence and death.

nu, landsman, since einstein and oppenhiemer were both jewish let’s just all of us take credit for winning WWII

The Oafkeepers are taking aim at the Southern Poverty Law Center:

It’s Official: Southern Poverty Law Center Is Now Part of DHS (freep re-post)

Their reasoning (such as it is) has to do with the SPLC honcho being appointed to the DHS’s Working Group on Countering Violent Extremism, an advisory body made up of outsiders.

I thought the SPLC was being blacklisted by the government (or whatever).

It’s hard to keep track of the wingnut memes.

SPLC already beat you to it moron.

re: #73 HappyWarrior

It’s something I believe popularized by Limbaugh. Never really annoyed me that much personally but i do agree that it is childish.

It’s much older than Limbaugh though. I remember seeing in in Republican Party publications from the Nixon era.
