I can see that one being arguable both ways. I guess I thought of Roof as being more NUTS along the lines of Charles Manson and I never considered him to be really right or left. I guess I classified him as a drug addled racist ******* and I don't know that's the right or the left has a monopoly on those. That said, I would agree that their motivations for wanting to start a race war were different and that Roof was overtly hostile to black folks whereas the helter-skelter people were more just bat **** crazy.
His Wiki page supports your assertions more than it does Kut's. His seems to be more a case of possible mental illness coupled with drug abuse. And even if he officially became a member of the KKK, Kut, that's hardly a 'right-wing' organization, based both on it's founding history and some of it's past senior membership (cough Byrd cough).

According to a 2009 affidavit filed for Mann's divorce, Roof exhibited "obsessive compulsive behavior" as he grew up, obsessing over germs and insisting on having his hair cut in a certain style.[18] When he was in middle school, he exhibited an interest in smoking marijuana, having once been caught spending money on it.[16]
In nine years, Roof attended at least seven schools in two South Carolina counties, including White Knoll High School in Lexington, in which he repeated the ninth grade, finishing it in another school. He apparently stopped attending classes in 2010 and, according to his family, dropped out of school and spent his time alternating between playing video games and taking drugs, such as Suboxone.[16][17][18][23][24][25] He was on the rolls of a local Evangelical Lutheran congregation.[26]
Prior to the attack, Roof was living alternately in Bennett's and Cowles' homes in downtown Columbia and Hopkins, respectively,[19][27][28] but was mostly raised by his stepmother Mann.[18] For several weeks preceding the attack, Roof had also been occasionally living in the home of an old friend from middle school and the latter's mother, two brothers, and girlfriend.[20][28][29] He allegedly spent his time using drugs and getting drunk.[28] He had been working as a landscaper at the behest of his father, but quit the job prior to the shooting.[16]
