Now we know…
White House shooter Oscar Ortega-Hernandez is nutty lib who ranted about “war for oil” in an September interview.
VIDEO: Alleged White House Shooter Oscar Ortega-Hernandez: MyFoxDC.com
FOX 5 reported:
New video has surfaced that sheds some light into the mind of the suspected White House shooter.
Two months ago Oscar Ortega-Hernandez asked an Idaho University student to videotape a segment pitch to Oprah Winfrey.
Two days ago the Secret Service learned about the tape from the girlfriend of Ortega-Hernandez. FOX 5 got a portion of it.
The tape is 45 minutes long and in it Ortega-Hernandez rants against the government accusing the Feds of waging war for oil. He declares he is Jesus Christ and asks Oprah to help him get his message out.
But he does not specifically mention President Obama or any threats, so the student and his professor never turned it over to authorities.
Ortega-Hernandez made his first appearance in Federal Court in Pennsylvania Thursday morning where he was charged with attempting to assassinate the President.
Court documents claim witnesses in Idaho say he had become increasingly agitated about the government. They say he called President Obama the “Anti-Christ” and said he had to “hurt” him.
Prosecutors accuse him of opening fire on the White House last Friday night.

rabble-rouser commented:
this whole story smells fishy. My understanding a shot at 800yds w/an AK47 from a moving vehicle is nearly impossible. I think someone is looking for pity votes
Neo commented:
I just can’t figure how he got charged with “attempting to assassinate the President,” when the President was out of town. I could see damage to federal property or such.
Granny commented:
From the sounds of things, he is hallucinating and needs to be locked up in a secure psychiatric facility, not charged with attempting to assasinate the “POTUS”. Must be one HELL of a marksman to hit the WH window at 800 yards from a moving vehicle.
Dittogirl commented:
@2
If they expect pity votes, its not going to work. Even all the publicity of this event isnt garnering any sympathy, most are asking why he did this when everyone knows the zero wasnt even there. Its nothing but a set up, and a failed one at that.
No one buys it but the liberal press, and a whole lot of Americans hate the elitist press.
Scott M commented:
Don’t get all worked up about this guy yet. Simply from the text of the posted story above, it sounds like he was more insane clinically than ideologically (lol, there’s a difference?…well, yeah).
The guy that flew the plane into the IRS building in Texas was likewise a loon, but he had some small-government tenets in his views. My point is simply to pick your battles. This isn’t one we conservatives will want to wage if the above (no war for oil) is the only identifiable liberal meme he was spouting.

I know a whole lotta Americans whose every opinion is formed by the television.
Anecdotal, I know.
They hate Palin. Why? Because all the cool people on the tee-vee do. Who doesn’t want to be like the cool people on the tee-vee?
They get offended when you criticize Islam, even though they are not Muslim. Why? Because all the cool people on the tee-vee say “Islam is COOL!”.
They say, “what? You don’t believe Global Warming is real? What??!” Why? Because all the cool people on the tee-vee have programmed them to believe that it is real, and that all deniers are less cool than Sarah Palin.
I see it daily, multiple times.
Even so-called “conservatives” who cannot go to bed or wake up without a TV on.
I’d say more than 60% of our nation is programmed by (daily) and addicted to the television. In my experience.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
My three examples above were ONLY FROM YESTERDAY. Three different people.
And I see it every single day.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
The television-addicted will be the ones helping the State fill the mass-graves.
As always.
chuck in st paul commented:
I’m waiting for the mental gynastics by the LSM to put THIS one on the Tea Party. The slow response on this was undoubtedly to dig up some damning evidence. Only problem is that, once again, it’s either a libtard or a crazy person. Oooops, that was redundant wasn’t it.
Patty commented:
Rosary around his neck, ironic. Shoots a weapon and in comparison another Ayers. Unforgiving and will spend a long time in Jail.
These hypocrites make me sick to my stomach.
succotash commented:
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Heck of a shot for a whacko!!!
Eubulides commented:
#11 is the “Israel” tattoo on his neck also ironic?
RickS commented:
This is just so bizarre. Ortega-Hernandez went to Idaho State and the shooter of Gabby Giffords, Sara Palin, attended the University of Idaho. There must be something in the water in Idaho that makes people want to committ political violence.
Dittogirl commented:
Taqi..
I agree with you with a bit of exception. Look at the dinosaur media, they are slowly going extinct with less people watching or buying what they are selling.
Yes, some people are believers of whatever the tv has to say. But they are less and less everyday. I know people just like your example, in fact some are in the family. So yes, that is true, but everyone has mental midgets in their family tree
We are winning the war, against media bias. It might of taken an Ozero residency to make the public wake up.With all the OWS and traitorous things this admin has done to the people, many have seen the light. Remember that liberals are a small number…JFK Dems are much larger and they dont like what they see.
Joel commented:
Another university story…makes one wonder what else is being covered-up in our universities across the country.
MWTexas commented:
A war for oil? Are they fighting over his hair? Looks like enough oil there to run a small thrid world country.

“Oscar Ortega Hernandez ” is probably Iranian who purchased this fake identity in Nicaragua. Yes Jesus has returned with a pair of brass nuckles to draw the blood of his eye for an eye covenant…>>. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/wikiality/images/thumb/c/cc/SniperJesus.jpg/450px-SniperJesus.jpg
MaryW commented:
A Rosary around his neck for show, figures. If he had it in his hands praying he wouldn’t be firing wild shots at the WH. My guess is, the guy probably doesn’t even know HOW to pray the Rosary.
Omilu commented:
Declaring that he is Jesus Christ makes him a “lib”?
Claiming that Obama is the anti-christ makes him a “lib”?
Claiming that the government is conspiring against him make him a “lib”?
It makes him a nut, Jim. You must be in great shape with all the stretching you do.
Omilu commented:
#2. Witnessess to the shooting said the car stopped before the shots were fired. The car wasn’t moving.
The distance from Constitution Ave. to the White House is 650 yards. I don’t know where they’re getting 800. Deadly range of an AK me by >500 yards, but the bullet will easily travel over 1500 yards. The sight compensates for distance, so hitting the white house from 650 would not be so difficult.
Having some kid shoot at the white house when the president isn’t even home hardly sounds like much of a conspiracy.
Patty commented:
Long hair and a beard and the liberals think they are Jesus.

This is confusing. The modern day Jesus wanted to shoot the Messiah?

Was it a Fast and Furious weapon?
Maybe the cartel didn’t get their shipment this week.
Just sayin’.

More like a modern day moron. Just speaking about Jesus in this way and comparing this nutjob to him..and even Obama who does believe he is a super God, makes my stomach churn.
donh commented:
Patty most religions have a Chronos myth….. you have to Kill the old God to take his place as the new God… This is why Islam always has to murder the older faiths. If this guy isn’t Iranian, he is the illegal alien nephew of Daniel Ortega.
jimg commented:

Nope. Him screaming War for Oil puts him squarely on your side.
However, I find it interesting NOW we should be taking care to not ‘stretch’ to conclusions.
But just a few short months ago – according to people like you – a Bush-hating atheist who shot up Gabby Giffords was a right-wing TEA Party member.
You don’t like us labeling him a Leftist tool? Tough. You should’ve thought about that in your rush to blame us for Loughner.
He’s one of you. Deal with it.
Texas_Treeroach commented:
The effect of this photo is familiar.
Is agent Starling sitting on the other side of the plastic window?
(Makes me hungry for liver, fava beans and a nice chianti)
Gman commented:
Omilu,
I like how you omit that he said “no war for oil” and that he was a part of Occupy Wall Street.
You should work for the NY Times.
Omilu commented:
JimG…..you reason like a child.
Oh yeah…HE’S ONE OF YOU! NANI-NANI BOO-BOO!!
Now, would you jump off a bridge if the Liberals did it?
He’s a nut with a mixture of ideas. Claming that Obama is the
antichrist, and they the government is the source of all his
problems, hardly lats him fit squarely into to slot you’re trying to
place him in.
My position comes from one of of reasoning….no one of “Oh yeah!? Oh Yeah!? Well you
guys said this, so I can say that! How do you like it!? Hah!!”
Grow up. Think.
Omilu commented:
Gman…Did I really have to mention that he said “No war for oil”? It’s in the headline of the post.
I didn’t mention that he was part of Occupy Wall Street, simply because he was not. It is actually Occupy DC that you are referring to….and he was not part of that. The police have already ascertained that he was not connected to them in any way.
The only reason the Secret Service searched the Occupy DC camp was because they recieved calls that someone who fit his description was in the areas.
Imagine that….a scruffy/beardy guy in a knot cap being at the Occupy DC Camp….hard to believe? They could have arrested half the camp on that description.
In the end, they found not trace of him there, and found no evidence that he had any connection to them at all. This has been pretty much ignored by people like Jim Hoft…..and people who continue to repeat it.

Actually, this was foretold weeks ago by White House Insider: http://bit.ly/uom6gi
As for Oscar, I’m pretty sure Jesus washed his hair.

AK factory barrels suck for accuracy. While the gun was designed to be used by the masses to fight off the evil capitalists, it does go bang when the trigger’s pulled and that’s all that matters.

The dirth of information on Ortega Jr….no sign of any parents …no background …we had a detailed history of Jarred Loughner in a matter of hours. This guy has to be an illegal alien getting instate tuition subsidies to write papers about evil amerika.

Obvious Teabagger in everything but name (yet)….
1.) Jesus freak, literally
2.) Gun nut
3.) Hates big gubmint
4.) “Israel” tattoo
5.) Hands praying tattoo
6.) From deeply conservative east Idaho Idaho Falls
7.) Conspiracy theorist who things the government is implanting GPS chips in people (!!)
8.) Hates Obama
9.) Calls Obama the “anti-Christ” (like 1/2 the readers of this and other nutter RW blogs)
10.) Shot at a black man’s house
11.) Shot at a Democrat’s house
12.) Shot at a black Democrat President’s house
Just another in a long line of Tea Party Christian conservative terrorists.
djmcs commented:
LoL @ donh,
“The dirth (SIC!, lol) of information on Ortega Jr….no sign of any parents …no background ..”
We already know the exact restaurant, Puerto Vallarta in Idaho Falls, that his parents own. And, at least one of his parents and his sister have already commented.
Idiot. Get off the RW nutter sites. They probably don’t want you to learn much because he’s an obvious TEABAGGER!
TheJackyl commented:
Virulent intolerance and extremism. That’s what I’m seeing when I visit most of these comment sections, whether it be mainstream media, OR some kind of polarized backwater such as this one, where the article headline alone tells you everything you need to know.
Before any of the so called liberals jump on board here, know that I’m talking about you too.
The problem isn’t the simplistic world-views and black and white thinking, there will always be people like that. People will look for a frame that will explain their entire world in simple, easy to remember terms, and cram everything they see into that frame, even if it doesn’t fit. That’s why the roman politicians decided to ditch the poly-theism and got together to come up with a good spin on this “Jesus” guy. It was a patch-over, a way to unite rival factions under one system of governance, a way to avoid being being on the losing side of pending shifts of power.
The sickening part is the cynical nature in which extremists attempt to propagate their views among others: Victory is the only concern, there is no regard for the truths of the opposition, and no acknowledgement of the faulty logic in their own arguments. (When you start believing your own press, take it as a sign that you’re engaging in stupidity of one variety or another.) The end justifies the means, history is written by the victor…
That’s all fine and good, be as cynical and uncompromising and machiavellian as you like, but don’t try to come across as if you have these points of view because they are in the best interests of everyone, which is essentially what all political argument claims to be about (even ADMITTEDLY undemocratic regimes claim to be acting in the best interests of everyone concerned).
Because anyone with the brains to see past the cheap, polarised view you are promoting knows the score.
This guy Ortega here… Do you right wingers REALLY think he’s this way because of the school of “liberal” political thought? You don’t think it might have been possible for his delusions to manifest in another way? Like maybe a McVeigh sort of way? Or should I imply from the existence of Timothy McVeigh, that everyone who has concerns about high taxes and expanding government is probably building a fertilizer bomb to go off and fry a bunch of poor people who’s only real crime is doing the best they can with the situation they found themselves in?
Because that’s what you’re selling here, right?
No wonder that people who actually have power look down upon the rabble with scorn and casual disregard! How could they not when the voice from below is so reliably full of certainty and bluster, yet so lacking in the information required to justify it!
Do you think anyone with any actual power really cares what system you choose? Big government, small government, gun-control, hi taxes/low taxes, tolerance/intolerance?
Or for that matter Right and Wrong, Truth/Lies?
They DON’T, all they care about is making sure they are still at the top of it all.
So, make your choice, if you really WANT cynical governments, representative of stupidity, square-peg-in-round-hole solutions, then keep it up…and make sure you bring plenty of lube. Just make sure you’re on the winning side right? Hope that side doesn’t change…
But please, don’t claim to be on the side of the truth when you don’t even know what it is. Believe it or not, somebody with a clue might actually be listening to you, and you don’t want to give them the impression that you’re an idiot… at least I hope you don’t.
