The word "terrorism" in the United States usually brings to mind plots linked in some way to al Qaeda, while the danger posed to the public by white supremacists, anti-abortion extremists and other right-wing militants is often overlooked.
Militants linked to al Qaeda or inspired by jihadist ideology have carried out four terrorist attacks in the United States since September 11, which have resulted in 17 deaths. Thirteen of them were in a shooting incident at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009.
By contrast, right-wing extremists have committed at least eight lethal terrorist attacks in the United States that have resulted in the deaths of nine people since 9/11, according to data compiled by the New America Foundation.
And if, after investigation, Sunday's attack on the Sikh temple in Wisconsin is included in this count, the death toll from right-wing terrorism in the U.S. over the past decade rises to 15.

They might want to take a gander at stormfront before declaring white supremacists to be right wing. In 2010 they were raising money for Cindy Sheehan.
He was a Nazi. A National Socialist. I really wouldn’t call that right wing.
Nine? In the last decade? Nine people were killed in Chicago last week...
well which is it ..neo nazi or white supremist? And I did not know they had special bands. I got an idiot on another site telling me white supremists all republicans. I dont think so.
Utter nonsense. Childish and fatuous beyond belief.

That Hassan guy who shot up the mobility line at Ft Hood was a Right-Wing extremist? Whoda thunk it?

I'm not excusing the crime - and I'm glad the skinhead anti-semite was killed - but that has nothing to do with Israel-supporting Tea Party members. The nut probably had more in common with 'Occupy' types than he had with any conservative.
In today’s America, George Washington would’ve been considered a terrorist. My how much we’ve CHANGED.
Its the lefties who have Always been on the side of Nazi's (National SOCIALISTS) or The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.
I want to beat the people with a Clue Stick, they are on the side as Hitler! Wouldn't that bother you!?
Hell, the Democrats were the Party of Slavery! I remember my stupid peers in College wearing "Democrat '08" I wanted to go up to them and Say "Democrats: Party of Segregation and Separate But Equal"
We are surrounded by Idiots.
I remember being puzzled when people used to call the pop-smoking skinheads in New York “right wing” because they are racists.
News for these jerks. There are plenty of left-wing racists. Historically, the Democrat party was the party of racism for more than a hundred years.
The Sikh temple shooter was in a racist punk rock band, and looks like a hippie in most of the photographs of him in that role. Nothing conservative about it.
But, of course, the leftist propaganda meme is that if you’re a racist, you must be a rightist. Not true, as even the most cursory observation of history demonstrates.
Just not by the Victors.
I remember in College one of my Stupid History teachers had a Parthian shot one day as we were leaving class that "Remember the Founders were a bunch of Slave owning white men, who didn't want to pay their taxes"
I reminded her the next day that those taxes helped to support the British Military in the Conquest of Places like India and Africa (Because our taxes go towards conquering Iraq and the time you see)
She didn't bring that point up again.
A few yeas ago my niece was threatened with a bad grade from a professor at Western Michigan if she wouldn’t agree that Lincoln was a democrat.
They know they’re lying but the agenda calls for it.
Fortunately, no one watches CNN ( Communist News Network), so no one give a flip about what they say!

several Local stations in New York probably have more viewers
Racist David Duke Joins The Unions, Maoists, Communists, Socialists, & Anti-Semites at OWS
“...STATE RUN MEDIA IS REPORTING...”
Only in Europe is a Nazi considered right wing. In America Socialists and communists fall on the far left.
if she wouldn’t agree that Lincoln was a democrat.
The Very first successful Republican Party president, was a Democrat, yeah....so was Erik the Red if you want to through that crap out there.
"bUt wiat!@!!" Says the troll, "wHaT aboot, Liclon's Income TAcexs and expianson of fEDral Power! and GreeNbacks!@!!!"
No, it doesn't work that way. Besides if her teacher wants her to be Bipartisan, have her do a report about Grover Cleveland. Shoot, he would be run out on a rail by both parties today.
Bull!! Washington attacked Englands ability to exercise military force in America. He did not seek to scare England into withdrawal via killing civilians.
“He was a Nazi. A National Socialist. I really wouldn’t call that right wing.”
99/100 people don’t understand your statement, 100/100 MSM don’t understand and 110/100 would ignore the truth even if they understood it. The extra 10 is for those that would lie about it even if they understood it. It is probably closer to 1000:1 who would lie.
Before anyone’s blood pressure rises a point, consider the source - CNN. This is just their latest effort to appear relevant to their 17 remaining subscribers.
You’re probably right.
We need to punch back over this “right wing = Nazi” meme.
Never accept it, always challenge it. “Communism and National Socialism are just two sides of the same Socialist coin.” Etc. Never let it stand undebated.
Left Wing = Big State Supreme. Communist, Nazi, Socialist, and collective ideoloty.
Right Wing = Limited govt, the individual supreme, liberty and freedom the paramount virtues.
Hey Peter Bergen and Jennifer Rowland, stop worrying for now.
A good many of us have quit burying bodies under our houses. Heck, it’s hot this time of year and the smell gets overwelming. I’d tell you about our winter plan, but it would spoil the surprise, besides, I need to get my Superhero uniforms to the cleaners.
They act like 9/11 doesn’t count. Like all those people who died are just a bunch of old dead white guys.
Left wing and right wing are both terms that come out of Europe’s Socialist movements. Republicans have little to do with it, and American conservatives are about the only political group resisting Socialism in the world. Nazis are certainly Socialists, and Socialists are Nazis in the making, just look at the American left, and Homeland Security under Obama’s watch. Look at Occupy, at unions, at TSA, and look how America’s media is little more than a propaganda tool to use against the left’s political enemies. This nonsense, for instance.... Tea Party enthusiast and conservatives are called racist because we are color blind, while the left uses and manipulates race to achieve political power. Right wing kooks can be a bit terrifying, just like their brothers on the left. This is what European Socialism is all about. Join conservatives, and stand against the madness.
Uh Huh. “Right wing extremist terrorism’’. Different of course from left-wing terrorism. That being the Earth Liberation Front, identified by the FBI as the single most dangerous home-grown terrorist group in the nation. Different of course than the Occupy Wall Street crowd, Code Pink and a host of other peaceful, law-abiding, non-confrontational activist groups. Uh Huh, right.
As I have observed here before, post-1920 “right wing” had no meaning other than “opposed to the Comintern”, thus classical liberals, monarchists, Tories, Christian Democrats, nationalists of every sort, fascists, Nazis,. . . were all “right-wing”.
The multiculturalist globalist left has inherited the role of the Comintern, and now anyone who opposes their projects (be it pushing “gay marriage” down the throats of the populace of the entire developed world, deficit spending, anthropogenic global warming, coddling and excusing radical Islam, or whatever new enthusiasm seizes them tomorrow), whether out of a commitment to nativism, fiscal restraint, science, the Constitution of the United States, the Christian humanism of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or any other cause is “right wing”.
while the danger posed to the public by white supremacists, anti-abortion extremists and other right-wing militants is often overlooked.
It’s certainly never overlooked by the media, they
always hold it up for scrutiny.
Translation: White guys/gals with guns.
If anyone has not seen this, this 2009 MIAC Report stunned me.
Something definitely wrong in this nation...

Yeah, those shooters in AZ and CO, along with that mad bomber dud sure took out a lot of innocent people.
What? They were lefties?
Nevermind.
The False Flags have been right in front of you. Look at the shootings and look for the military or pass military doctors involved. We are being played just like many times in history Kings and other rules have tried to take more control over the masses. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
I ask people who think the Nazis are “right wing” if they have ever read the party platform of the National Socialists. Invariably they haven’t, but they have spent a lot of time listening to professors and media tell them that the Nazis are right wing. They won’t read the history for themselves and even if they did are unable to think for themselves enough to understand what they are reading.
“They won’t read the history for themselves and even if they did are unable to think for themselves enough to understand what they are reading.”
Your statement along with hanging chads in West Palm Beach totally destroys the myth of superior Jewish intelligence. I have a Jewish friend who just can’t or won’t understand this fact. Again they follow those that would kill them instead of protect them. Unreal.
Its the “narrative.” “Progressive” left wingers can’t be racists or bigots, so, if someone is a racist or bigoted has to be a right winger. The circular logic has gone on for so long that lefties think they they can win a argument just by screaming “racist!”
Only a racist would insist that minorities are incapable of passing occupation skills tests are therefore must have their test scores graded at a lower standard Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Indeed the seating arrangement in the French General Assembly was the origin of the term (though back then “liberal” definitely included classical liberals who are now called conservatives in America and only by a stretch included Jacobins, and “conservative” meant monarchist). I merely described the actual usage of the words since the time of the Russian Civil War.
See my post #33 above, which describes the actual meaning (or rather, lack of any real meaning) of the phrase “right wing”.
Blah, blah, blah...
That’s a good way of looking at it.
For a great take on things from a historical perspective, see the Hayek quote on my FR profile page. It’s the 3rd one down, two paragraphs. It well describes why the Nazis and the Communists were so similar in 1920s and 30s Germany.
Deja Vu - It's beginning to feel just like a repeat of the late-Clinton-era tactics - demonizing the right using the weight of the Federal Juggernaut.
