OP also forgot about Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber who killed all those children at the daycare center while he was at it.

Yeah, I discovered that when I looked it up, which is why I edited my post. But I wouldn’t classify him as right wing by any stretch of the imagination. The man was insane.

It might make the right-wingers take a look at themselves in a new light.

Do you take his views seriously?

(Personally I disagree with his views.)
He was diagnosed on the Schizophrenia Spectrum.

That doesn't invalidate his political beliefs.

A simple resolution brought up in a Tennessee state house committee:


"[W]e urge law enforcement to recognize these white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups as terrorist organizations and to pursue the criminal elements of these domestic terrorist organizations in the same manner and with the same fervor used to protect the United States from other manifestations of terrorism."


In 36 seconds, the resolution died, due to no Republican support on the Republican-controlled committee.
Maybe they should have included Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Why make it a one-sided issue.

Fun fact-I once got a letter from him delivered to my house. Fortunately it was from when he was in prison.

He was rabidly anti-technology. Something that I have seen some of in the right more then the left, but he was also VERY pro environment, which is more of a left then a right point of view. Its a mistake to assign political ideologies to the crazies.
