I just learned that back in 2012 we interviewed Frazier Glenn Miller, the man now accused of being the shooter in yesterday’s Jewish Community Center shootings in Kansas City. The reporter was Ryan Reilly, now a reporter with the Huffington Post.

At the time we were interested in Miller because he was an associate and supporter of Kevin Harpham, the man behind the 2011 Martin Luther King Jr. parade bombing in Spokane, Washington. Miller, on the other hand, was mainly interested in whether our reporter was Jewish (Reilly? really?) and whether he thought Ron Paul was being mistreated by the mainstream media.

Miller told us he believed Harpham had been framed because it didn’t figure he’d bomb an MLK parade. “He was more of an anti-Semite than an anti-black racist. He focused on what the Jews were doing to us, rather than what blacks do to us. Blacks, they have little power except what the Jews allow them to have. Jews call the shots. But white people, we have no power at all. We have nobody representing us, we have no leaders, we have no organization, we have no unity, no solidarity, we’re not even allowed to complain about our extinction.”
