New report out: Confirms that right wing extremism and violence is worse than muslims...

[Anonymous]

...or supposed "violent liberals"

Yes, that's right. A study by the Nation Institute going back over the last 8 years found that right wing extremists have been involved in far more domestic plots and plotting than anyone else, they are twice as big of a danger to Americans than muslim extremists are.

* domestic terror

[Anonymous]

No kidding. But our President is cutting funding to all Homeland security programs that aren't directed at "Islamic extremism," and he is encouraging the fear-mongering that encourages the right-wing psychopaths.

And it is only going to get worse as this administration continues their hateful rhetoric.

Obviously. Those angry white Christian guys aren't going to let new folks join them at the table without a fight first.

When you look at the map at your link that details terror events, there's no documentation of the methodology they used to determine this "fact."

The headline could be true, but the methodology page is blank.

I won't believe any claim until I see evidence.

That's the FBI most wanted terrorists list.

Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah
Hasan Izz Al Din
Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah
Abdelkarim Hussein Mohamed Al Nasser
Isnilon Totoni Hapilon
Ali Atwa
Jehad Serwan Mostafa
Ayman Al Zawahiri
More items...

This is a partial list of the 29 names...all Islamic.

Wait, one is "white."

DANIEL ANDREAS SAN DIEGO

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Daniel Andreas San Diego.

Remarks:

San Diego has ties to animal rights extremist groups. He is known to follow a vegan diet, eating no meat or food containing animal products. In the past, he has worked as a computer network specialist and with the operating system LINUX. San Diego wears eyeglasses, is skilled at sailing, and has traveled internationally. He is known to possess a handgun.

Caution:

Daniel Andreas San Diego is wanted for his alleged involvement in two bombings in the San Francisco, California, area. On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded approximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville. Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton. San Diego was indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, in July of 2004.

He's from Berkeley.

Not one right wing, white guy terrorist on the FBIs most wanted list.

You can keep fishing for just the right time frame to help your case. But maybe you should say 17 years, because in a few months 9/11 would move out of your time window.

Fake news. The methodology is flawed. Just in the first example I checked in AZ goes Loughner to "Right Wing" terrorism which is patently false.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-does-jared-lee-loughner-believe/

Investigators weren't able to tie him to any ideology.

So flawed right from the start.

Records show that Loughner was registered as an Independent and voted in 2006 and 2008, but not in 2010.[39][40]

Loughner's high-school friend Zach Osler said, "He did not watch TV; he disliked the news; he didn't listen to political radio; he didn't take sides; he wasn't on the Left; he wasn't on the Right."[18] A former classmate, Caitie Parker, who attended high school and college with Loughner, described his political views prior to 2007, prior to his personality transformation, as "left wing, quite liberal,"[41] "radical."[42] The tone of Loughner's online writings and videos from immediately before the attack were described by The Guardian as "almost exclusively conservative and anti-government, with echoes of the populist campaigning of the Tea Party movement".[43]

Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center said that Loughner's political positions were a "hallmark of the far right and the militia movement."[44] Jesse Walker of Reason expressed deep scepticism at the connections drawn by Potok.[45] In the aftermath of the shooting, the Anti-Defamation League reviewed messages by Loughner, and concluded that there was a "disjointed theme that runs through Loughner's writings", which was a "distrust for and dislike of the government." It "manifested itself in various ways" – for instance, in the belief that the government used the control of language and grammar to brainwash people, the notion that the government was creating "infinite currency" without the backing of gold and silver, or the assertion that NASA was faking spaceflights.

Did you actually click on the link or are you just bluffing? Because, the methodology page isn't blank. They list their sources and their definitions:

To build our Homegrown Terror database, we obtained data from a variety of sources: the Congressional Research Service, the FBI, DT Analytics, The Heritage Foundation, the Investigative Project on Terrorism, New America, Mother Jones, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Abortion Federation and the Animal Liberation Front’s own website. In addition, we set up news filters and searched journalism databases to scoop up missing incidents, using search terms such as “Islamist,” “sovereign citizen,” “Oath Keeper,” “ecoterrorism” and so on.

Through public databases and Freedom of Information Act requests, we collected primary court and law enforcement documents for almost every incident and carefully examined them, in combination with credible news coverage, to check whether each entry met the FBI criteria that define domestic terrorism. Incidents that met the definition were included, regardless of whether prosecutors filed terrorism charges. Some incidents inevitably involved judgment calls. To adjudicate those, we turned to a panel of experts: William Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at the Syracuse University College of Law; Bruce Hoffman, director of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University; and Daryl Johnson, former senior domestic terrorism analyst at the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, now the owner and CEO of consulting firm DT Analytics. They provided guidance on whether to include or exclude borderline cases, such as those related to hate crimes, mental illness and confrontations with law enforcement.

In cases of mental illness, we excluded incidents only if there was no clear ideological motivation for the crime. With regard to police shootouts, we included incidents in which the targeting of police resulted from an ideological motivation. As one of our experts said, “Extremist belief systems cause individuals to be ‘attack-oriented’ rather than ‘escape-oriented,’ to use violence to attack or confront authority figures rather than flee or submit to them.” Hate crimes were included only when the perpetrator used a terrorist tactic or technique, such as an explosive device, firebomb or mass shooting.

Lastly, a note on terminology: We use the loose umbrella term “left wing” to refer to a broad range of ideologies, including animal rights, environmental and anti-racist extremists. We use the umbrella term “right wing” to encompass militia movements, as well as white supremacist, anti-government, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and anti-abortion extremists, including radical Christians. We use the term “Islamist” to describe theocratic extremists inspired by groups such as the Taliban, al-Qaida and the Islamic State. We chose the term “Islamist,” rather than “Islamic,” in an effort to uncouple the Muslim faith from the political ideology of Islamism.

Ha...Wikipedia as a source. That's a joke.

Fact of the matter is he loved Marx, many of his associates claimed he was left wing and liberal. Many of the ideas of not supporting currency are left wing too.

SPLC is very biased. Actual investigators couldn't tie him to any idea. I'll take their word over a Wikipedia article
