Obviously, that's a horrible idea, but the double-standard - "kill all the terrorists except us!" - from the far right is so laughable.

Don't worry - this thread won't last 5 posts before some right-wing bobblehead shows up to claim that any facts that don't support right-wing lunacy are "fake news" or that all those right-wing terrorists are somehow "left-wing plants" or maybe evil Obama clones are involved. They don't care about the facts, but reasonable people should, and so we must keep the facts ever in the public's eye.

You noticed that too? Good call. I thought I was they only one hip to the hypocrisy............

Since 1990, there have been 15x more killings by right-leaning radicals as compared to left-leaning radicals.

The real terrorist threat to this country is Trump and his Neo-Nazi deplorables.

Be sure it is NOT accurate, very sure.

It is a false narrative the Leftist media and smear merchants via Brock/Media Matters has been pushing for some time. The useful idiots push their agenda via spreading it, and sadly many people are too naive to realize they are being manipulated.

Did you bother to look at the report?

More people died from Islamic terrorists. 119 by Islamic terrorists to 106 far-right. So how does that make them more dangerous?

And why were prison murders counted for the right, yet none for the blacks in prison?

This is a wonky report. In fact in one of the "facts" said: Incident: Incident 3 in a series of related murders: perpetrator shot and killed a man in a drive by shooting and killed a college student.

That's two people murdered, yet in the number of dead it states 1.

Let's also change the date to just 5 years. Far-right killed 35, while Islamic terrorists killed 78. So they have been far more dangerous in recent years... according to your report.

Sheer numbers of fatalities don't tell the story esp because the Pulse night club accounted for so many of the deaths.

Of course the right wingers here are ignoring the other statistic in the link, that out of the 85 incidents, 76% of those were perpetrated by domestic terrorists, not radical Islamic extremists.

Actually it is pretty accurate from after the event of 9/11 and until the Orlando shooting (which killed 50), there was more deaths from domestic right-wing terrorists than there was from Islamic jihadi groups in the U.S, according to the New America Foundation.

Seeing as how white people in this country outnumbered Muslims by about 70 to 1 during that time, that's a really stupid claim.
