for what i saw from the right since 2008.  the republican congress were the anarchists.   they would rather destroy the government and this country than help the president pass bs right wing laws that they in the past created.  but the populate as a whole is so stupid they let them get away with it and the so called msm dont help.   you have a right wing propaganda machine worst than al jazeera and the other networks that 90% of the time have republicans on the air talking lies out of their dung hole but theres noone there for rebuttal and host sit there and let it go on instead of punching them in their dicklickers with facts.


You, nor Mr. Khan have answered my question. You said there were studies that proved that right wing groups undertook more terrorist activities. I want that study, please.



RIGHT-WING GROUPS: The most recent swell of extremist violence began to emerge from right-wing militants in the late-1980s and 1990s. According to a 2005 FBI report on terrorism, these groups, which are "primarily in the form of domestic militias and conservative special interest causes, began to overtake left-wing extremism as the most dangerous, if not the most prolific, domestic terrorist threat to the country." Right-wing extremists champion a wide variety of causes, including racial supremacy, hatred and suspicion of the federal government, and fundamentalist Christianity. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks the activities of hate groups, suggests militia groups declined every year since 1996 but have seen a dramatic resurgence since 2008. http://www.cfr.org/terrorist-organizations/militant-extremists-united-states/p9236 You only have to mention the armed militia moment and the resurgence of hate groups and white power moments in the last 10-20 years especially since Obama was elected to know this is the case.

I'd note that the "LEFTWING" groups leaves out Anarcist groups... and in general isn't counting Eco Terrorism/animal abuse or any number of other single party leftwing issues.

In general, LEFTWING TERROISM in the source you provided means "Communists who want to spread communism." 

So essentially what your source is saying is "Militia groups > Communist Groups."

Counting Ecological Terrorism for Leftwing and Abortion bombers for Rightwing might get you different results.

What with Eco Terrorists being listed as the number 1 terror problem in 2004.  Per your own source.

Additionally calling Jared Laughner a MILITIA based terrorist is an extreme stretch... being one guy, and one guy who hated right wing polticians at least as much as leftwing ones.

Dude had a huge obsession with Zeitgeist, which I'd personally consider to be more of a "Leftwing" insane conspiracy theory movie then a rightwing one.



Anarchists by definition are neither left nor right wing. And honestly Eco terrorism generally is more along the lines of vandalism, rarely is it violence and killing. And judging people by the web sites they view is sketchy at best. We're both talking politics on a gaming site after all.

Not really.  Afterall Anarchists tend to group with leftwing people.   See Occupy Wallstreet.

Eco Terrorism.  Well now your just argueing with your own source.

As for Zeitgeist... unlike videogames, it's specifically a political "documentry" movie.

That's like saying that someone watching "Sicko" isn't indicitive of their political leanings.

I'd guess that if you brokedown the political affiliation of people who watched it... they'd lean democratic.

 

Heck, even Videogame sites though you could argue would lean firstly to libretarians, secondly to liberals with conservatives being underrepresented.  (Which is generally how I would argue these boards play out.)

You could argue this, because people who play videogames largely have a higher IQ, are younger and have a higher discetrionary income... all things which correlate with Libretarians and Liberals more then conservatives... and slightly more with Libretarians then Liberals.

Which is always the proverbial "turd in the punch bowl" for Liberals in those studies.  In general Liberal beliefs correlate with IQ and money... except for economic liberalism which actually is negativly correlated with those things.



Well as far as Anarchists go, most Anarchists I would say are for little to no government authority. The anti-big government movment happens to be a cornerstone of the right wing and tea party movements. Which is to say Anarchists really are neither left nor right wing and most anyone who would call themselves an Anarchist would be unlikely to call themselves part of the left or the right regardless of how they voted in the last election. And one might even say a true Anarchist wouldn't vote to begin with. There are many different type of Anarchists with many different views but sharing one view that is not being beholdent to anyone but themselves, including deities and governments. And while i'll agree that you can judge a group of people who visits or views web sites and shows, that you still shouldn't judge the person.
