I would imagine it depends on what these groups believe in. For example wouldn’t a group that opposes abortion be considered right wing? I would hope so. I think it depends on the groups beliefs. I think left wing works the same way.

The media is conducting a partisan witchhunt and engaging in paranoid hysteria.

What they CALLED McCarthyism.

The Pravda Media lies like Statlinists. Always.

These groups are so far to the left that they appear to the right.

There's no reason at all to think this is any sort of "right wing" anything. Besides, it was the Lefwingtards, like Bill Ayers, who were actually into murdering cops. Seems to me Bill and his wife are raising a little boy born to a couple they used to run with who are in prison for murdering cops.

I'd call them an "Ayers-like cult of mad bombers". You will notice that the "fibbies" wanted them for their interest in IEDs, and IED is just another word for "bomb", and that right there is all it should take to call them Islamofascists, or "Bombers like Bill Ayers".

Let’s be honest, obviously they are not representative of conservatives nor are they Christians...but I wouldn’t be shocked to see that they were against bigger government and maybe against abortion...policies that would be considered right wing. Again, that’s not to justify the MSM’s attempt to smear millions of Americans based upon a few whackos.

Because the leftists in the media would never refer to other leftists in a negative way.

Therefore, they have to be right-wing militias.

The fact that they’re claiming to be Christian would tend to make them right wing.

I just wish people would wait to see what comes of this before throwing themselves off a cliff in support.

Why are the militias (like Hutaree) called "right wing?"

It's a propaganda thing.

You know, I want to be interviewed by the media when I go to a Tea Party. I will proudly say that I am a registered Democrat! (Which is true, I registered when I was young and dumb and haven’t taken the time to change it to Independent yet) How will they react when a Democrat admits to going to Tea Parties?

I’ve presumed that they use the adjective ‘rightwing’ because the anti-gun lobby is comprised exclusively of Lefties.

Because calling them wrong-wing would not play into the leftists' version of reality. It plays into their agenda to demonize them and associate these groups with the "Right." It's just one big PSYOPS campaign to discredit anyone who disagrees with the left.

Excellent question.

If the charges hold true, these are truly despicable people. Any of us who consider ourselves a part of the “right” need to make it loud and clear that we want no part of them.

Not fair to lump nutjobs in with honest and law-abiding Americans who may oppose this administration but who love the country.

Because they are anti communist. And in our this or that world, since the communists are the left, the anti communists are the right.

Hutaree is an anarchist apocalyptic organization.

The Hutarees are apolitical, and anarchists don’t fit on the usual left-right scale.

The Michigan militia might be considered “right-wing” and the Michigan militia cooperated with the FBI in the investigation and arrest of the Hutarees.

The “right-wing” label is a media invention.

Because almost EVERYONE is to the RIGHT of Obama. The People who are to left of Obama are out there around the dark side of the moon coming around.

I would love to see a Talking Head asked that question: “Why do you say they are on the right?”

The only groups I can think of who made it a point to attack cops were the Weathermen. And the Panthers. So if these people are guilty, I suppose they must be somewhere between a Weatherman and a Panther.

I actually think they are dungeons-and-dragons wannabes, living in a makebelieve world. They aren’t anything.
