It really is a common thread. I think McVeigh’s group were a branch of Marxist/Fascist. I know he was an atheist, but that doesn’t stop the press from saying he was a Conservative Christian.
The press always starts out saying that these killers are conservative Christians, then the truth comes out and they are silent. That is another common thread.
Oh, I agree entirely. I just don't think we gain anything by going the other way, and just assuming all of these guys are socialist Dems (but I repeat myself...). Based on what I've read about most of these guys, they are likely apolitical (or, at least, don't fall anywhere on any 'normal' part of the US political spectrum).
