Hate Websites Remove Online Traces Of Von Brunn

Washington Post:

Shortly after authorities identified their suspect in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting Wednesday, the world began searching for traces of James W. von Brunn online. Those who Googled immediately were able to find him: a personal Web site claiming Jewish "conspiracies," diatribes posted on message boards. But those who started their hunt just a few hours later would have found only empty holes -- information that was scrubbed away as Web sites figured out how to address the fact that they had once hosted the words of an accused murderer.

Oh I'm sure Google has it cached somewhere in their plethora of computers.
Scary, but true.

[cyoohoos]

Wow. They won't even stick up for their own.

[HOPEFOCUSED]

Run, run, run, you people of small minds and hate . . . . run, run, run, far away, never to be seen or heard from again. Do us all a favor and just disappear. We're tired of hearing and seeing your hate-filled faces.

YEP! Well said. Hate has no place in our society. Good for HUFPO for bringing it up!

I feel safer now.

What these extremists will find out is that everything they ever wrote on the web
is part of the permanent record somewhere. All this hate stuff gets archived
along with the normal good communication.

[AnalyzeIT]

You'res so correct. There is a way to find out.

What we delete - the "powers that be" keep.

[MadHeart]

Well, they did that in the Tiller assassination, too. As usual, rightwingers don't want any responsibility for the hate-fueled content of their websites.

Pontius Pilate would be proud!

take care, blessings

[HyperInfluential]

Except this time it's like Pilate washed his hands directly into a CSI evidence bag. Nothing on the internet "goes away". Except possibly that one Paris Hilton video, but I don't think the Freepers have that kind of cash.

[pghnappyrhino]

par for the course.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Haha, good thing it's all cached.

[Anonani]

Too little....­too late.

[AnnfromCA]

After all, they have an "image" to protect.

Life is odder than fiction.

Don't worry, the evidence is still there

There's a certain irony in the fact that after Van Brunn, the Holocaust denier,'s terrorist act his compatriots are denying him and his statements.

The First Amendment is going to get a real test here. Glen Beck and Rush are doing the "there's a fire in the theater" thing. But it's worse, because they are instigating treason.
