Walder Jr., 31, who also goes by &#8220;Bubba.&#8221;\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Bishop said Walder, who has a lengthy criminal history in Liberty County, is believed to be a member of a white supremacist group.<\/p>\n<p>Walder is described as 6 feet 2, about 250 pounds, with a shaved head.<\/p>\n<p>He has many tattoos, including a skull on the left side of his neck, <strong>a Nazi SS symbol on the right side of his neck<\/strong> and tear drop under his right eye.<\/p>\n<p>He is known to drive a green Chevy truck with Texas plate AB1-7183. He also drives a 1998 dark green Dodge pickup with an extended cab, Texas plate 92L-RW3, and <b>has a Republican Party sticker on the back window<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information about this case or Walder&#8217;s whereabouts is urged to contact the Liberty Police Department at 936-336-5666.<\/p>\n<p>No further information was immediately available.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So more violence by rightwingers who associate themselves with today&#8217;s Republican Party, even as the media spends most of their time <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=7605\">frightening viewers about Nigerians<\/a> with explosives in their pants and ill-timed cases of diarrhea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bubba&#8221; was apprehended by law enforcement this afternoon, who say they &#8220;believe robbery was the motive,&#8221; though they add that they are &#8220;trying to determine if the shooting was a hate crime&#8221;. But here&#8217;s how <strike>Houston&#8217;s<\/strike> Beaumont&#8217;s CBS affiliate, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfdm.com\/news\/county-35917-sheriff-tyler.html\">KFDM reported<\/a> the apprehension:<\/p>\n<div class=\"media\">The Tyler County Sheriff told KFDM News a man who has ties to a white supremacist group and faces charges of capital murder in the Christmas night shooting death of a Liberty store owner has admitted to the crime and told a deputy he gave up and decided not to shoot when he was surrounded because the arresting officers were white.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;He told my deputy, &#8216;I saw you behind me. I loaded my clip. When I saw that all of you were white I decided to give up and not fight.&#8217; He admitted to my deputy that he shot the store owner.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>So we don&#8217;t yet know if this particular Republican Nazi instigated a plain old robbery that went horribly wrong, or if the victim&#8217;s ethnicity &#8212; ya know, we hear quite a bit on Fox &#8220;News&#8221; that those immigrants and A-rabs are waging a take-over of America after all &#8212; came into play. So where are the Republican Terror Warriors on these matters? And why aren&#8217;t they calling for an immediate crack down?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah, they&#8217;re too busy being personally offended, for some reason, by Department of Homeland Security reports identifying a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2009\/04\/14\/homeland-security-report_n_186834.html\">rise in Rightwing extremism<\/a> and the threat it poses, such as &#8220;<b>a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration [which] has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence. If such violence were to occur, it likely would be isolated, small-scale, and directed at specific immigration-related targets.<\/b>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rightwing whack jobs like <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2009\/04\/14\/confirme-the-obama-dhs-hit-job-on-conservatives-is-real\/\">Michelle Mulkin, of course, derided that DHS report<\/a> as a &#8220;hit job on conservatives&#8221;, as did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redstate.com\/moe_lane\/2009\/04\/13\/are-you-a-rightwing-extremist-too\/\">RedState.org&#8217;s Moe Lane<\/a> and the rest of the usual wingnut suspects who thought it necessary to defend their extremist brethren.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in the face of such mighty blowback &#8212; even though the DHS report was initiated by the Bush Administration &#8212; the pathetic Democrats found little choice but to cower in fear, apologize and <a href=\"http:\/\/rightwingwatch.org\/content\/dhs-pulls-extremism-report-after-right-wing-freak-out\">retract the report<\/a>.
