Who is more of a threat, left-wing crazies or right-wing crazies? By far the left wing crazies. WTO riots, convention riots, Copenhagen riots to name just a few. Name a right wing riot.

Why should Eugene’s POV surprise anyone? For Stalin, the enemies were all on the right, too.

Not to mention the fact that if you go back in history and research evey presidential assassin, all of them were Democrat/Anarchist/left wing nut jobs, except John Hinkley who was just a mental case in the clinical sense.

Also, I can't remember the last time someone on the right showed up at a polling center with a weapon, presumably to intimidate other voters.

Actually Eugene Robinson, you are correct there is no equivalence between right-wing and left-wing wingnuts.
The Left has far more of them and they are far more violent. Most of the time, they enshrine them in governments.
cf. Che Guevara, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Fidel, Assad, etc. etc.
Do your homework, you race-baiting ignoramus!

Only the logic of the propaganda arm of the DNC could come up with this. One group of loonies indicts the entire right wing. Idiots!

Once again NewsWeak demonstrates it leftist bias.
Extremists sitting in the White House, Congress and Czarships are far more dangerous to the Republic than a handfull of radicals anywhere.

Actually, the truth that no one here on FR wants to admit is that all of these so-called "wing-nuts" are libertarians. As such, they are aligned with the "Progressives" on some issues, and to the right of Conservatives on others.

The timing of this bust is so fortuitous, that a part of me is going to be rooting for these nutjobs to walk.

Politics isn’t a straight left, right line. It is more of a circle and the nuts meet up at somepoint. Unfortunately, the Democratic party has moved closer and closer to the extreme meetup point.

violent Christian militia group How are they violent? The FBI CLAIMS that they threatened to kill someone--a Muslim or a cop, they haven't quite got their story straight yet. But how can they be described as "violent"? They haven't killed anyone, or beat up anyone, or broken any windows, or burned any cars, as far as I've heard. If they had, I'm sure the FBI and the media would be telling us all about it. I looked up their website as soon as they mentioned the word "Hutaree." Personally, I'd be a bit inclined to call them kooks. But violent? Nonsense. There's been a fair amount of political violence around the world recently. All of it came from the left, or from Muslims, as far as I've heard.

Who is more of a threat, left-wing crazies or right-wing crazies? Left wing crazies are flying planes into buildings( Joseph Stack), murdering people on university campuses( Amy Bishop), threatening to murder congress members( Norman Leboon) and the list goes on.
Another example why Newsweek is a crap magazine and the opinions contained therein are worthless.

So far these fools managed to talk trash and play with guns in the woods AND attract an FBI informant and that is it. The Animal Liberation Front and Eco Terrorists did more actual damage.
The reason this type of miscreant gets more media play is that it suits the political agenda of writers like Maddow.

I don't disagree. I just think that the sake of journalistic integrity demands that they stop being referred to as "hard-core right wing." They're not.
