A new terrorism database analysis shows almost two-thirds of the terror attacks in the United States last year were carried out by right-wing extremists.
Researchers and journalists for the news site Quartz said they used data compiled by the Global Terrorism Database that has tabulated terrorist events around the world since 1970. The database is supported by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), affiliated with the University of Maryland.
“A Quartz analysis of the database shows that almost two-thirds of terror attacks in the (United States) last year were tied to racist, anti-Muslim, homophobic, anti-Semitic, fascist, anti-government, or xenophobic motivations,” its posting says. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/...ing-extremists
No surprise....the Right-Wing EXTREMISTS have always been bigoted-racist, hate-mongering SCUM!
The study is flawed. When you look at WHO they consider "terrorists", Antifa (who pretty much run the city if Portland, OR and in the Bay Area commit unprovoked attacks on anyone they see as Conservative) and BLM (have incited violence and ambush murders towards police officers) are not even on the list. The "list" has an identity politics metric, so its judged based on political dogma and protected group status, not actual violence and unbiased statistical analysis. Too, that it uses stats going back some 48 years does not at all give the proper picture of how domestic terrorism affects the U.S. TODAY. When you have data, it has to be interpreted with apples-to-apples comparisons. This doesn't at all. To top it off, your last line of hate and selective bigotry so incoherently expressed didn't help your credibility. When someone starts flailing wildly the baseless and random "isms" and "phobs", the eye-rolling and chuckles ensue, lol.
I've seen studies conclude the exact opposite. The vast majority of violent crimes, hate crimes and terrorist attacks come from the left -- according to the studies that I've seen.
So clearly somebody's fudging the numbers. The Southern Poverty Law Center -- your source -- accepted a cartoon frog, drinking milk, eating bacon and the OK hand gesture all as white supremacist things. I think your source is seriously out of touch with reality.
odd how you conveniently forgot to link to your supposed sources.

Oh, I get it. Let's create such a broad definition of "right-wing violence" that it takes in all of Antifa, all of the New Black Panthers, all the BLM thugs, all the people who make ends meet by taking free money and free stuff from the government without worrying about who actually provided it, and all the rest of left-wingers who are rioting, shooting people, calling for people to chase Republicans out of their homes, restaurants etc..
Then we can announce that rioting Democrats are actually "right wing". Wow, that makes the count of so-called "Right-wing violence" go through the roof!
Wasn't that easy?
BTW, here's another extremist who feels her way of life is threatened, and so is now defined as "Right-wing" for this "study": Hillary Clinton said, "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about."
No, it does not. It only mentions a handful, not even with dates or specifics, out of 65 events. Hit yourself all you want but it will not change the fact that there is no documentation. I found one of those incidents and a homeless arsonist was arrested for the fire. Evidently, he’s a terrorist like the young black boys from Brooklyn arrested for burning a Jewish school bus the year before.

Cool. Let's all play this game.
really? You think it's threatening for Hillary Clinton to say she doesn't have to be nice to people who scream LOCK HER UP! about her at every Trump rally?
Grow some cojones, righty snowflakes! You need them if a woman saying that she doesn't have to be nice to people who shout threats about her is scary to you.

Oh I see...those deaths were not important or final enough for you approval. Find the equivalent on the left and point where the left wants to arm every ****ed up moron and their mother.
This again? "Right-Wing" is not synonymous with "racism" or "bigotry". I'm sick of all "hate" crimes being classified as "far right"
It’s all the OP has. Screeches the same diatribe day in and day out. Getting somewhat tiresome but just brings another ho hum from me.
