Oi, sorry about that, I guess I assumed (hence me being an ass or arsey) that you were being sarcastic about the oklahoma bomber being an environmentalist. I was not intentionally trying to insult your intellect

the truth is I have not heard of environmental (and I was talking about environmentalists not leftists) kill as many people as mcveigh, and no matter how many non-'major media corps' I read I can't remember ever hearing about an environmentalist group killing anyone to be honest.
Loggers have been killed when hitting spikes. People have been killed when logging or construction equipment is blown up. Environmentalists have also used chemical or biological agents in letters and other postage, in addition to conventional letter bombs and package bombs. The fbi and other government agencies have info of u.s. based terrorism throughout the years. Truth be told these stories lack the "excitement" of a large building bombing and just will not sell papers, hence the lack of coverage.
PETA has cut checks for thousands of dollars to animal groups that have either killed or severly injured researchers. The one fellow i'm thinking about was either killed or disfigured by a fellow that recieved about 4 grand from peta.

If you do include 'leftists' - by which I assume he originally meant pseudo marxist terror groups in places like spain and italy, then yeah, they are an obvious threat, but I wasn't talking about them, which is pretty obvious if you read my posts. The guys that blew up the oklahoma fed building were obviously not leftists.
leftists have blown up things in the u.s. as well. It did not recieve the amount of coverage and was quickly forgotten.
yes there are right wing terrorists as well. The right wing and racists tend to prefer shootings and will occasionally bomb. Left wing and environmentalists prefer bombings, arson, and the occasional bio/chem-gram.
all of the above I refer to are u.s. based terrorist. I was speaking of u.s. based terrorists in responce to this post :

america has it's share of white bread terrorists too, I'm sure there's 'anti-govt loony' profiling going on too.
If my memory of reading a gov publication(may have been fbi, may have been another) serves me correct the leftists and environmentalists have a small margin on the right wingers and racists.
Because i'm extra arsey I will leave this post with venomous wackiness

Aversion has it right: anyone, regardless of where they fall in the liberal/conservative spectrum, that has extreme and fundimentalist views is dangerous.
oh yeah, abolishnists and black panthers at the time were considered extreme and fundimentalist. It would seem the lack of respect for human rights would be dangerous not neccesarily extreme views or fundimentalism. Believing anything outside the collective, extreme or fundimentalist, to be dangerous seems to me the work of socialist propaganda.
