(CNN) -- On the evening of March 19, Tom Clements, the director of Colorado's prison system, was shot and killed when he answered the door of his home near Colorado Springs.
The slaying sparked a police chase that ended a few days later in Texas, with authorities finally killing the suspect, 28-year-old Evan Ebel, in a shootout. It was soon discovered that Ebel had been part of a violent white supremacist gang during the eight years he spent in Colorado prisons.
Clements was the latest victim of increasingly active violent right-wing extremists. While American politicians and the U.S. public continue to focus on the threat from jihadist extremists, there seems to be too little awareness that this domestic form of political violence is a growing problem at home.
From 2002 to 2007, only nine right-wing extremists were indicted for their roles in politically motivated murders and other types of ideologically motivated violent assaults. But between 2008 and 2012, the number mushroomed to 53, according to data collected by the New America Foundation.
Fifteen right-wing extremists were indicted in 2012 -- including six who were involved in a militia in Georgia that accumulated weapons, plotted attacks on the government and murdered a young U.S. Army soldier and his 17-year-old girlfriend, who they suspected were planning to rat out the group to authorities. Seven claimed membership in the anti-government Sovereign Citizens movement and allegedly murdered two policemen in Louisiana. And two had gone on a murderous rampage the previous year, killing four people before they were arrested in California, where they told police they were on their "way to Sacramento to kill more Jews."
By comparison, in 2012, only six people who subscribed to al Qaeda's ideology were indicted on terrorism-related charges in the United States[.]

yeah - national SOCIALISTS - socialists aren’t right wing. They’re liberal. All a national socialist was was a leftie who thought his country was better than everyone else’s.
Left wing politicians and bureaucrats are causing far more damage than any “right-wing” “extremists”, Peter.
The race card is one way to divide, just like Obama and pals have done with their 99% BS. Then they furthered class warfare and went to full scale economic warfare to include wealth redistribution. Now it is gun control and it is full blown assault with the goal to destroy America. Make no mistake that Obama is not loyal to the USA. He is a commie.
When the Commander in Chief is also the prime domestic enemy of the Constitution it gets kind of sticky. Assassination is frowned upon; a frogmarch off to pretrial confinement is unlikely. And an officer who wishes to remain an officer can't even speak the truth publicly.
Bingo.
Through out America’s history, the violent white supremacists have always been Demoracts, or members of the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party, the KKK. White Supremacists have NEVER been Republicans or conservatives. They went from being Dems to being fringe kooks who have no loyalty to a national party. A lot of them are for Socialism, not free market Capitalism. These reporters are either too stupid to know this or are lying on purpose.
liberals throughout history are the ones infatuated with race, eugenics, breeding, reducing inferior peoples’ populations. all liberals. radical liberals.
A revolution was started because of a “shot heard ‘round the world”. Vicki Weaver and her son got shot and apparently no one but the shooter heard it.

After the president is shot, residents will burn the cities
And the left does nothing to clean up the real violence in our cities and our society.
The KKK was a democrat run operation. So white supremacy is all leftist. Conservatives fought against the KKK. Kansas, for example, a conservative state, was one of the first free state territories against slavery and racism.
I sometimes wonder if the shooting of peoples’ family dogs is not an effort to elicit a violent response so the goons can slaughter the family.
and the left loved interment camps. They rounded up the Japanese, under FDR, and put them in camps after Pearl Harbor.
Socialists are scumbags, be they right wing or left wing in eurospeek.
The right wing vs. left wing nonsense needs to go...the accurate argument frames it as a continuum between totalitarianism and liberty.
how far left do you have to be for National Socialists to appear right-wing?
