On Wednesday, Mother Jones ran an article making a shocking claim: more Americans have been killed by conservative terrorists than by Islamic terrorists since September 11, 2001. “While America has been fixated on the threat of Islamic terrorism for more than a decade, all but a few domestic terror plots have failed,” the article explained. “Between September 11, 2001, and the end of 2012, there were no successful bomb plots by jihadist terrorists in the United States …. [R]ight-wing extremists killed 29 people during those 11 years.”
But is it true?
The Mother Jones piece is based on a study by the New America Foundation and Syracuse University’s Maxwell School. But that study routinely labels non-right-wing murderers right-wingers, and labels basic crimes involving murder “terrorist attacks.”
Here is their complete list of “rightwing terrorist attacks,” with number of killed in parentheses:
(snip)
The list does not include the Beltway snipers (11 killed, including a 2002 shooting of a Tucson man); Mohammed Ali Alayed, who slashed a Jewish friend’s throat after reportedly undergoing a religious revival; Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, who used his SUV to attack students (9 injured) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in revenge for “the deaths of Muslims worldwide”; the list goes on. The list also does not include honor killings (the equivalent to the George Tiller assassination), or random murders involving Muslims (the equivalent of half the items on the “rightwing terrorist attacks” list.
Naturally, the study does not bother to list left-wing terrorists.

The article may be right. The confusion is in the accepted definition of the political spectrum, left and right. These people, MJ included, are fascists disguised as liberals. They want government rule (totalitarianism), they want indoctrination, they live in a world of extreme propaganda. They are fascists, they are “right-wing” by their own definition of the political spectrum. They just want you to believe that are not, and that right-wing and Islamic terror are separated, when they are the same thing.
Lemmie see now.................
One one side, 45-50 MILLION dead babies. (Add approx 3500 daily to that appalling number.)
On the other...................................crickets.
Maybe gangsters are right wing extremists now...??
Just another Mother load.
“Mother Jones?” Please....
If MJ magazine DIDN’T make comments like that, I’d be getting worried.
When a journalist writes “some believe” or according to some” you can believe odds favor that ‘some’ are the other journalists in the office. As I spent over a decade in the industry, I speak from lots of experience with this.
What there should be is a site for ex right wing journalists to tell our stories. If only I had the ability/financing....Trust me folks, it would be fascinating reading for the genpub who think Journalists are paragons of integrity.
They were talking out their mid sections again.
This is a publication with readers who will accept anything they say because they say it. They would have loved Stalin, expecially on the day he inisisted that the invaders from the west were British, not German.
“Naturally. What else should we expect under 0’s watch. He will go down in history as being the first Black President, the Worst President, and the Anti-Christ all at the same time.”
And the most divisive president in American history this side of Lincoln.
“Keith Luke (2): A white supremacist broke into an apartment, raped a woman, and shot two more people in 2009. He planned to attack a Jewish synagogue. His motive: killing “nonwhite people.” That is not right-wing. That is white supremacist. But the left always lumps in neo-Nazi types with the right, despite the fact that the Nazi movement was left-wing in orientation.”
A fact that libtards simply can not or will not accept.

Yes, another registered DemonRAT and 0bamao campaign worker.
You forgot the moon biscuit who attacked the headquarters of the Family Research Council last year. He was a pro-homo America-hater, which makes him either a typical Democrat or a New York senator.

I thought of him, but he didn’t kill anybody.
However, the fact that he wanted to kill everybody at FRC is good enough to include him in the list, which I will.
MJ is just another comedian dressed in a grandma suit tryin to get laughs... don’t they know that’s boring already?
Don't forget the conspiracy fruitcakes.
Oh you mean my former coworkers writing the articles? ;)
probably... but there are others out there (cue X-Files music) hehe
Bookmarked for later reference.
