I read many of the links posted and see most refer to 2 cases - 1 of 3 men and 1 of one man. To me that's not a threat like the hundreds of blacks and antifas that have shut many parts of this country down. Did I not read the right article? How many of these boogie boys are there? Have they replaced the klan because no one talks about them anymore - I know their numbers have dwindled.
I'm not a hardcore right wing guy, but I do lean more right than left. I remember the report your talking about. The Obama administration had a similar one. Both said right wing extremism was the big threat.
Both were wrong. A big deal was made about both reports by the left. Oh the howling. Still hurts my ears across the expanse of time. And this looming threat never materialized.
You don't get it. It wasn't hypothetical. It was based yes, on right wing hate groups, militias activity etc., but for decades, domestic terrorism has been largely conducted by right wing groups.

And the George W. Bush administration ended in January of 2009...almost TWELVE years ago
And your point is? the report was based on decades of incidents, not say, oh what happened in a given year or so.

So, you want to concentrate on what some report commissioned over a decade ago, was afraid of what "right wingers" MIGHT do.........
Instead of what the Left wing is ACTUALLY DOING NOW??
Nope. It was based on what the right did and does do kid.
Are they checking in their "voting cards" on the way to riots or burning, destruction of property? It is very obvious there was a mix of players instigating the scenes, but you will never agree to that, so moving on.
Police later said paint, ball bearings, and glass bottles were among the things thrown at officers during the protest. Hey, LEO's love this kind of stuff...it really shows unity and how peaceful a protest can be. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/...-portland.html
The right wingers are just coming unglued over there in Portland...

Decades of incidents. Truly. I pondered this. Thing is in the last 2 months leftist motivated violence has done more damage than the Klan did in the entire 20th century. You can toss the Hitler humpers in there to and not equal up.
Oklahoma city was the worst terrorist act perpetrated because of right wing extremism. At least that's the popular narrative. McVeigh was certainly a full bubble off plumb. But he was one guy. Hardy any sort of "movement."
Seems to me the ones who did those studies on right wing extremists were duped. The went chasing the obvious, and stepped right over the real threat.
Right wing extremist groups are notoriously loud. They love spectacle. Lining up shoulder to shoulder and screaming "White power" or some Nazi slogan. But since when has ANY right wing movement caused mayhem and chaos on the scale we see the leftists doing g now?
It's never happened. Yes, there are certainly right wing groups out there. But they are scattered, disorganized and dont have serious numbers. If that were not true and they are indeed poised for action they would not have let an opportunity like these riots and violence by the left in the name of "Black power" get by them.
If there truly is a massive right wing extremist threat we would have seen it by now. No, the threat is and always has been the left. Violent extremism with a "revolutionary" mindset is scattered and fringe on the right. It is mainstream with the left.
And the proof of that is all over the news every day. The Democratic party has openly allied itself to BLM and ANTIFA and embraced the strategy of violent taking of the power they can't get via election.
They've tried unsuccessfully to remove Trump via political means and see their chance to seize power permanently. Oh no pard. Right wing extremists have never pulled off a stunt like this. Not with everything they pulled in the 20th century and all of the transpired 21st have they equaled up to the last two months of the left.

NOT the entire 20th century. You are correct since 1980 for certain. Before 1950 it really was right wing. LOTS of very bad things, mostly against AA, yes mostly in the south. OKC is just the talking point of the day.
If leftists want to rename anything, they need to rename Brooks Co Ga and Brooksville FL named after a truly terrible person. Since he is not all that well known, nothing will happen and the left will ignore.

Yes, lots of very bad things did get pulled by the Klan Klowns. But still nothing on the scale of wonton destruction we have seen lately.
They never rampaged through huge swaths of city's destroying everything in their path. Oh most certainly they did some flat nasty things. But they were targeted and small scale.
Right wing crap has never been so destructive on so wide a scale as what we are currently seeing by the left. One parallel does stand out though.
When the Klan was terrorizing Blacks in the earlier part of the 20th century and projecting power through fear the political power that embraced that methodology was the same one embracing the leftist fear groups now.
The Democrats. Ain't that something. They do seem to get right behind any groups that they can gain power through fear with.
