2. There have been many
   
but not since the early-mid 70's. The SLA was probably the last. As soon as the war was over in Vietnam the violence ended pretty much.

3. Does eco-terrorism count?
   
Because if it does I can't count them all.


These do tend to target property and not human beings so IMO they should not be lumped in with shooting children and blowing up buildings with people in them.



If we exclude eco-terrorism I can't think of any.

Way to cherry pick.

4. the 1970s
   
ok, I'll byte, the ALF has done some more recently, but none is a mass casualty incident.

Yes burning houses is a crime... but in my mind a little different than killing 90 people...

Now the RW... I stopped counting... there is a rage across the plain... that is alive and well.

6. There was the bombing of Sterling Hall at the Universtiy of Wisconsin - Madison
   
Edited on Sat Jul-23-11 06:33 PM by ET Awful
Not affiliated with any larger group like the Weather Underground or anything, just four guys who were opposed to the Army Mathematics Research Center

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_Hall_bombing

But, nothing since the Vietnam era that I'm aware of.

Let's see now.

Unabomber

The idiot who flew his plane into the IRS building in TX a few years back

Others..... (I got called to supper :) )

The guy that crashed his plane in Austin IRS was named Joe Stack

The 5 muzzies that attempted an attack at Ft. Dix. (Since liberals love muzzies so much and hate conservatives, the natural conclusion is that muzzies are liberal)

I really don't think it is much of a stretch to consider them to be similar.

Liberals hate America.
Muslim terrorists hate America.

Liberals hate Christians.
Muslim terrorists hate Christians.

Liberals hate Israel.
Muslim terrorists hate Israel.

Liberals hate normal people.
Muslim terrorists hate normal people.

Liberals have murdered thousands upon thousands (when you include the unborn babies they've murdered).
Muslim terrorists have murdered thousands upon thousands.

You've got to see why so many DUmmies are blind to the violence in their ranks, though...they can't imagine leaving Mom's basement for anything more exciting that Cheetos and their next "fix."   :lmao:

That list is missing the Columbine massacre.  Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris WERE terrorists who killed 12 and injured 21.  They were VERY left wing and hated Christians and Christianity.

I've got one more for the list:

The Zebra Murders in San Francisco: 1973-1974.  A group of black militants committed a series of murders and assaults, specifically targeting white people.  14 people died and 8 survived with serious injuries.  Most victims were shot, but at least one was hacked to death with a machete.  Four men were convicted of multiple counts of murder and were sentenced to life (they're still in prison today).  Authorities believe that there were other perpetrators, but there wasn't enough evidence to make a case against them.

I consider the ALF terrorists. They destroy property, celebrate people's death and while they might not have killed anyone yet, they've come close.

Anyone familiar with them also knows they have issues getting addresses right. (http://laist.com/2008/11/28/activists_target_ucla_researcher_bo.php)

I tend to view Ruby Ridge as a possibility.
Mister Weaver would no doubt agree.
I view Waco in the same light.

All murders are motivated by hatred but those 2 idiots were not attempting to achieve a political outcome. Terrorism is a serious charge. Terrorism is a direct attack on instituted government, the means by which free people govern their society. Yes, it attacks people but it does so as an effort to compel government policy. As such the government should react as if it were a declaration of war.

We do not want civilian crimes, no matter how emotionally inspired, to be treated as acts of war because the legal strictures are wholly different and we would not tap the phones or detain the parents of Klebold and Harris the way we would the parents of Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

However, feel free to add the LW groups that:

wanted to attack the 2008 GOP convention in MN

protest any G8 conference

The SEIU thug that smashed a DNC HQ window attempting to blame it on anti-ObamaCare

Union thugs that beat-up TEA parties, even going to far as to heel-stomp them while calling them the n-word.

The New Black Panthers intimidating voters

Code Pink's financial and material aid the the AQ terrorists holding Fallujah c. 2004

This is true - but the primitive was asking about within the USA -

If we include worldwide left wing terrorists, the internet would quickly run out of space to keep all the data on.

You hear Truthers comparing 9/11 to the Reichstag fire.  What about the Madrid bombings?  Does anyone believe the socialists would have won without that?

Ya know... the funny thing about that is as soon as the radical muzzies take over, the libs will be the first to get their heads cut off if they don't stick their asses in the air five times a day. And that ain't even taking into account the homo's. One would think the libs would hate the muzzies. Don't understand it.  :mental:

IMO the biggest left wing terrorist is still Hitler.
