Let me try to dumb things down a bit so you can understand my point.
- Just because you dont SEE something, doesnt mean it doesnt exist- willfull blindness is not evidence of a non-occurance.
- Second, murdering someone because of race, religion or political affliation IS based on an ideological motivation. The lunatic who shot up the Holocaust museum was motivated by racial/ religious hatred. Had the museum been for Civil war vets that fought for the Confederacy, I highly doubt he would have shot the place up. You associate this crime with his right wing ideology (and rightfully so). If a black person rapes and murders a white woman because she is white, or a muslim blows up a synagogue to kill jews-- is his ideology imputed to the right wing or the left wing? You cant say its not politically motivated, because it paralell to the holocaust museum shooting. If its one, its the other.
didn't I already acknowledge that it has existed in the past. Virtually all of your examples are from other countries and many years ago. I just don't see it as the threat at the moment. nothing complicated about that
btw - I would not impute a right wing motivation on a racist or a muslim who kills jews.
Right Wing killers in this country would be the nut job who killed Dr. Tiller of the guy who killed people in a church in Tenesse earlier this year. When you can show me some clearly defined Left Winger like this then I'll join you in being worried about them too.

"Know this if nothing else:
This was a hate crime. I hate the damn left-wing liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country & these liberals are working together to attack every decent & honorable institution in the nation, trying to turn this country into a communist state. Shame on them....
"This was a symbolic killing. Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I know those people were inaccessible to me. I couldn't get to the generals & high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chickenshit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Someone had to get the ball rolling. I volunteered. I hope others do the same. It's the only way we can rid America of this cancerous pestilence."
"I thought I'd do something good for this Country Kill Democrats til the cops kill me....Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is to kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather.
I'd like to encourage other like minded people to do what I've done. If life aint worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. do something for your Country before you go. Go Kill Liberals.
