A fair question Glockman, your point is quite valid and I agree with your assessment to a certain degree.
Where I differ in interpretation of person and event is in the questions I ask...
Do protest rallies take rollcall? Did his name need to appear on some list in the bowels of the DNC?
Or maybe it was just his anti- __American action or agency of choice goes here ___ that identified him with those of like mind.
Regardless, he clearly resented the government and all its actions (or inactions) thereby aligning himself with those of similar rabid goals and interests (impeach Bush, stop the war, get of Iraq, etc). And there may be specifics in the notes he left behind, which we may or may not ever know the contents of...my guess is the more it identifies him as a member of that crowd, the less likely it is to be "leaked". However, it doesn't take much of a leap or too many fill-in-the-blanks, to see his motivation or where he was coming from, imo.
Bottomline, his actions and what we do know casts him in that light and identifies him with the current crop of "protests" crowd whether he attended a rally or not. He may be the Richard (shoebomber) Reid of the left's anti-war, anti-gov't movement, but it's pretty easy to conclude, given all their rhetoric to date, that there are many (many!) on the "mainstream left" who have given silent nods of approval to this nut and his attempt to murder an American serviceman.
Thus, they own him!
