re: #599 vegimo

You are correct. Charles didn’t “tie” him to the right. He “linked” him to the right, or rather to some Fundamental Christians who associate with the right. What Charles wrote was that “it should be pointed out that what we know so far about his delusional ideas falls much more in line with right wing religious ideology.” Because it was a much narrower classification, as you pointed out, I will retract that Charles’ attempt was misguided. I will restate that what the kid says in his video would reveal him to be a nut. I also think that his references to Jesus, the Antichrist, and other religious themes are more free-form than “in line with right wing religious ideology.”

You should try reading more carefully. What I wrote is very clear — what we know about Ortega’s ideology DOES fall much more in line with right wing libertarian/religious ideology than with any “leftist” ideology. The post is pointing out that the almost instantaneous rush by the right to link Ortega to OWS and the left is just flat out wrong, based on what we know about his delusional ideas.

There are NO leftist groups that claim Obama is the anti-Christ, but there are MANY right wing groups that do.
