The media is already trying to blame the massacre in Utøya on “Right Wing Fanacism”.

“Not far from of Elverum, 80 miles north of Oslo, a cluster of clapboard buildings, white and red, sits under a low mountain ridge at the end of a dirt track.

It is to here, Asta, that armed police came on Friday night with orders to search a farmhouse and buildings for information about 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, the man charged with killing at least 91 of his countrymen. One of two properties linked to a man accused of bombing central Oslo before commencing a shooting spree at a political youth camp on the island of Utøya, the interest in the farm – which Breivik had registered as a vegetable-growing business called GeoFarm – was obvious. In May, he had six tonnes of chemical fertiliser delivered which police believe was used in the making of his bomb.

The search of the Asta property, as well as Breivik’s home in Oslo, came as investigators started piecing together a profile of the man behind the worst attack on Norway since the second world war. They are attempting to burrow deep into his beliefs and to try to understand what he hoped to achieve.

A friend told the Norwegian newspaper VG that Breivik had been from the far right politically since at least his late twenties, when he began posting a series of controversial opinions on Facebook and the Norwegian site Document.no, which is critical of Islam.

What has emerged so far paints a disturbing picture: a Christian fundamentalist with a deep hatred of multiculturalism, of the left and of Muslims, who had written disparagingly of prominent Norwegian politicians.”

But as we’ve seen in the past it’s likely not the whole picture. Just as the media tried to paint Jared Lee Loughner as a “rightwinger” he wasn’t. And Timothy McVeigh, whom the left use to this day as an example of “rightwing radicalism”, when McVeigh was anything but a right winger and an atheist to boot.

Via Pam Geiler it appears that Breivik’s Facebook page was hacked and altered to make it appear that he’s a rightwing Christian fundamentalist. Here is the original.
