Another reminder that hate often wears our faces

Not all terrorists are from overseas -- you'd think Oklahoma City would be demonstration enough of that, but I think it's too easy to forget our homegrown brand of crazies. Not so easy for Joan Lefkow, who became a target of white supremacists when she (a federal judge) was assigned a case having to do with a lawsuit against them. First one of them plotted to kill her (but was caught first), and now her husband and mother were shot to death in her home. Terrible.

Original story at the Times (registration required) here, or read the summary over at dailyKos.

Update:
via mimi smartypants, we find that somebody else killed the judge's family. A different brand of crazy, but no less terrorizing...
