"Right Wing"

It seems to me they have antipathy towards people not like them

I think that can be said for both sides.

 

[BigBoxaJunk]

I think that can be said for both sides.

All sides; All people.

 

[Clarity]

All sides; All people.

Maybe so. But I bet if you compared your average liberal rally to your average conservative rally, one would be cleaner, safer, more orderly and more respectful. I'll leave you to decide which.

Anti-Abortion Violence: America's Forgotten Terrorism

and don't forget this abortion doctor who was shot in a church in Kansas

Wow, a whole 8, huh? That's obviously a far larger problem than Boko Haram, ISIS, al Qaeda, etc. Is your name Marie Harf?

 

[CathyInBlue]

Those sneaky Libertarians, conspiring to seize the reins of power through free elections and then leave you the Hell alone. The rat bastards.

It is not the reports from DHS or federal Fusion Centers, breathlessly describing how everyone from Boy Scout troop leaders to returning military personnel with possible PTSD could be a threat to the administration that are the problem.

It's not even the mental midgets in the government who draft such reports or laughably give them enough credence to be promulgated, expecting that they will never be divulged to the public, that are the problem.

It's the ones at the state and local level who actually believe them wholely and "action" anything that they recommend, who memo the cops on the street with advice based on those reports, the those cops who slavishly "action" that advice so based, that are the problem.

I never said it was, and it's clear you didn't bother to look at the other links. My point is that it has happened MANY times here in the US, but for reasons that would ask for an INGO ban-hammer people look the other way from these terroristic crimes. It's only terrorism when you disagree with the perp.

That's not been my observation. You seem to be associating religeon with it so own it. Rather than looking away I always see them condemning such acts.

Do you honestly fear "right wingers"? Dude, there are enough in your face real threats out there that "right wingers" aren't even on my radar.

No, I don't. I'm just making a point that they do exist. There are crazy people everywhere, crazy doesn't know what demographics are.

I'm going to call you out on this bovine excrement: you're claiming that people don't disagree - i.e. that people agree - with the people who perpetrated the crimes you linked. Please cite sources for any widespread/mainstream agreement with people who committed the crimes you linked. Pro-life people find murder to be antithetical to their position. Christians believe that murder is a sin.

From the same government who said with a straight face that the Tea Party are terrorists, but the Taliban are not.

Exactly. The big difference between right- and left-wing terrorism is that the right-wing incidents tend to be the actions of one wackjob, whereas the left-wingers tend to clump together.

Of course, their fellow Christians condemn their behavior and convict them in court and sentence them to prison, but I suppose that doesn't count as repudiation of their crimes.

It's so anti-thetical that every pro-life person is against the death penalty. Oh wait...

 

[oldpink]

If you're honestly going to equate a murderer convicted by a jury of his peers beyond a reasonable doubt being executed with someone actually carrying out a murder, not only are you sadly mistaken, but an incredibly shallow individual.

 

[dross]

Let's clarify a few things (and personally, I hate the term "terrorism" because I think it's just plain old violent aggression, but whatever):

1. Libertarians can't be terrorists, for what defines a libertarian is the opposition of the initiation of force. Terrorism by definition is the initiation of force.
2. People who bomb abortion clinics are terrorists, but if that were our entire problem with terrorism, it would be a pretty small problem.
3. Calling a "pro-life" person out because they also agree with the death penalty, or calling a "pro-choice" person out because they don't agree with school vouchers is a violation of logic - a misuse of semantics.

Surprised Oklahoma City hasn't come up. Right-wing for sure.

Quick, when was the last time that happened?

The list is pretty skimpy.

Skimpy, maybe, but one hell of a body count.
