The left finally has its bogey man

The shooter at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin appears to be everything that the left and the media have been dreaming of since 9/11. White racist affiliations, hateful band member and lyrics. Now all they need is to find a Romney bumper sticker on his car and a Rush Limbaugh poster in his home and their dream will be complete.

Meanwhile, this maniac shot and killed six people because of what he thought they represented.  Sikhs are not Muslims. As a matter of fact, they don't get along with Muslims at all. Totally different religions and belief systems.

Wade Michael Page, the tattooed white supremacist and former Army soldier police say gunned down six Sikhs in a Milwaukee-area temple before a police officer killed him, spread his message of hate through several rock bands for more than a decade before mounting his bloody rampage Sunday.
Playing guitar and singing in various bands -- including Definite Hate and End Apathy -- in the obscure skinhead punk scene, the 40-year-old Page spewed his lyrics at ear-splitting volume in small underground bars and on independent record labels. In an April 2010 interview with Label 56, the label that carries End Apathy's music, Page described the message behind his songs.
"He was involved in the scene."

"The topics vary from sociological issues, religion and how the value of human life has been degraded by being submissive to tyranny and hypocrisy that we are subjugated to," Page said.
White power lyrics, which frequently discuss genocide against the Jews and other minorities, are so violent and twisted that the music is typically available only over the Internet, according to experts. In a song called "Self-Destruct" by End Apathy, Page growls his dismal vision of life in the U.S.
     "You betray your dignity for this miserable life,
     Refuse to think for yourself, you want to be led."
On End Apathy's MySpace page, band members call their music, “a sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress.” Other bands on the Maryland-based music label include Force Fed Hate, Final War, Absolute Terror and Spirit of the Patriot.
Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's intelligence project, said Page had been on the group's  radar since 2000, when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance, a well-known hate group. She said the group has evidence that Page attended "hate events" around the country.
"He was involved in the scene," Beirich said.
