The cited article is a good example of propaganda from the left. The article cites The Center for American Progress, which describes itself as "Progressive Ideas for a Just, Strong and Free America" which in its section on terrorism includes analysis like this (emphasis added):

"To be clear, there certainly are incidents that seem to stand alone and that deserve the lone wolf marker, such as the recent shooting at the Family Research Council’s office in Washington, D.C. In this case the shooter disagreed with the organization’s political agenda and horrifically chose violence to express his disapproval. While the Family Research Council argues that the shooting was prompted by the Southern Poverty Law Center listing the council as a hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center responds that it has listed the council as a hate group since 2010 for spreading false and denigrating propaganda about gay and transgender people. The center did not encourage any acts of violence.

Thus, while this sort of violence cannot and should not be condoned, the shooter in the Family Research Council attack was clearly acting on his own and seems to have been incited to action by facts about the council’s hateful agenda. As misguided as the gunman’s actions were, this incident cannot be equated with the examples of far-right extremism mentioned above.

Indeed, the lone wolf portrayal of far-right extremism ignores the fact that these alleged loners on the right are actually embedded in networks that do preach violence."

So from the point of view of The Center for American Progress, the guy shooting up the Family Research Council wasn't really a terrorist, because he was incited to action by the ideas promulgated by FRC. By that logic nobody is a terrorist, since they always believe what they are doing is in response to somebody's ideas or actions they don't agree with. Or, as would be expected from leftists, violence isn't so bad when it is exercised against their enemies.

There is an endless supply of twisted propaganda from the left, the latest theme seems to be that patriotic Americans who oppose the left are "extremists" and more of a terrorism risk than Islamic radicals, even after a couple of Islamic radicals bombed the Boston Marathon.

These demons are Nazis as much as the SS ever were.

I’m guessing that the way they define a “terrorist attack” might be a bit unconventional, at least to normal people.

Do you see what is happening? Jihadis are imported and allowed to develop their terrorist plots.

Then the government says the only solution is to suppress the rights of the entire population.

No doubt this is true because the Center for Anti-American Progressivism defines “right-wing extremist” as anyone who wears clothes and doesn’t bathe in the blood of babies.

I would trust this “study” about as much as I’d trust Bonnie and Clyde to reconcile my bank statement.

The muslimes killed over 3,000 people on 9/11 and the right wing extremists have a very long way to go to catch up.
