So…how was your weekend?

Obama says again that he’ll end Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but still doesn’t say when.  Andrew Sullivan– who has coined Obama’s gay rights agenda “the fierce urgency of whenever”–  isn’t happy.

Meanwhile, an anonymous White House aide throws this weekend’s gay rights marchers under the bus.

Yesterday, he “defended” Obama critics like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh against Jimmy Carter’s assertion that their criticism was fueled by racism.  Here’s Colbert responding to Beck and Limbaugh’s claims that health care reform would amount to reparations for black people:

Those guys aren’t racist.  They’re just saying a program that helps the poor is actually a secret plot by African-Americans to steal white people’s money.  A racist would say it’s a secret plot to steal white people’s women.

When you see it like that, you realize how insane it is that the White House gave people like Beck and Limbaugh cover by insisting that their criticism was not fueled by racism.  Like, what exactly do they have to say to qualify?  Saying that Obama wants to steal white people’s money and give it to black people isn’t enough?  Calling Obama a “racist” who has “a deep-seated hatred for white people” isn’t enough?

This brings to mind a post Andrew Sullivan made yesterday, an e-mail sent to him by a reader of his blog about what the right-wing hysteria about SOCIALISM! and COMMUNISM! actually means and why they never complained about it under Bush or Clinton.  It’s worth printing in its entirety:

Of course they are screaming ’socialism’. They’ve been doing that since the 50s at least. They’re not talking about economic redistribution of wealth – they never have been. They’ve been talking about redistribution of privilege this whole time. They called MLK a communist because he wanted blacks to have the same rights as whites, and to them that was a redistribution of the privilege that whites had ‘earned’.

In their view, white, Christian, heterosexuals have earned something that gays, non-Christians, and non-heteros have failed to work hard enough at. It’s been a class war from the outset, just not one based around income or net worth – mostly because the whites in the south were economically pretty bad off and blacks in the north were catching up to them.

This picture shows they were pushing the same buttons half a century ago that they are today. Anti-christ, communism – it’s all the same as it is today and is well known code. It’s why the protesters will decry socialism today but wouldn’t have under Bush – it’s all tied to race and other social objectives and has nothing really to do with taxation, deficits, and big government. You probably missed it when you came to the US, but this is pretty old game – particularly to guys like Carter that grew up around it.

The Post-Gazette reported today that a hacker made his way into George Sodini’s Gmail account and from there was able to recover Sodini’s entire online history:

Shortly after George Sodini killed himself following his shooting of 12 women in a fitness club, his diary describing his hatred of women and plans to someday carry out such a tragedy showed up online.  Within a day of the shooting, Web surfers could find benign YouTube videos and Mr. Sodini’s musings about underage girls on online forums.

Finally, someone posted links on the Internet to Mr. Sodini’s receipts from purchases he made online of ammunition and large-capacity magazines for his guns, as well as records of his Google search history — including queries like “mass murderer profiles,” “murder suicide statistics,” and “going to die anyway.”

Sodini’s private thoughts are especially interesting in light of the fact that certain left-leaning bloggers are attempting to politicize this tragedy– quickly labeling Sodini as a white supremacist and a right-wing extremist, and lumping him in with everyone from Rush Limbaugh to the Holocaust Museum shooter.  But his online history tells a different story.

This isn’t a man who spent his time at political rallies or posting to right-wing forums or reading racist literature.  This is a man who spent the overwhelming majority of his time obsessing over his search for female companionship.  The YouTube videos he posted last year, where he tours his house, were exercises for a three-day dating seminar he attended.  The books seen on his coffee table are about dating.

His online search history is mostly about meeting women (with specific searches for white women, black women, Latino women, and teenage girls).  He seems especially concerned about the age of consent in Pennsylvania.  His occasional searches on politics are about where he can find conservative T-shirts and bumper stickers.  I’d be surprised if he ever attended a political function in his life; he just doesn’t seem to be that into it.  The remainder of his searches are about guns, mass shootings, and mental illness.

The online forums he posted to are mostly about dating, with interests in technology, cats, and car repair sprinkled in.  In one forum, he asks other users whether it’s normal for a 48-year-old man to been seen with a teenage girl.  His personal photos are of him, alone, posing next to a bulldozer and around his house.  His personal website has Bible quotes, blonde jokes, and pictures of his cat.

This simply is not the profile of a white supremacist, a right-wing extremist, or a man looking to make a political statement.  This guy isn’t Stormfront.org, he’s Match.com.

Again, I’m not in the business of defending mass murderers.  And I have no problem calling out racism when I see it.  I just want to make sure we’re not squandering our credibility by turning every lunatic into a neo-Nazi Teabagging Ku Klux Birther and turning every tragedy into something that’s somehow Glenn Beck’s fault.  Sodini’s rampage was about mental illness and isolation, not race and politics.  Let’s not pound this square peg into a round hole to fit our own political agendas.

But don’t take my word for it (courtesy of reddit):
