Yes. There is no logic in his "manifesto." But, we know who he is from his actions. He's an immigrant hating, anti-Islamic White terrorist. So...that spells Right Wing, for the most part.
Is he really an "anti-Islamic White terrorist", or some kind of spree killer?
Remember, I am not denying anything he may be, what I am saying is that we simply do not have enough reliable information to confirm anything. And myself, when confronted with a lack of clear evidence I tend towards the middle ground of remaining neutral until more facts are available.
And here is a question, were Harris and Klebold "White Supremacists"? We know that they had a web site on AOL where they posted many threats towards teachers and students at their school. They created "video diaries" which featured such topics as "hitman for hire". In the diary of Klebold after the attack, he talked about if they were able to get away from the school they would go to Denver Airport, hijack a plane and crash it into New York City (this was in 1997).
And are you aware of their writings? Harris gave what is pretty much a "backwards praise" essay on the Nazis. He spends quite a bit of time in it first covering in great detail arenas full of dead bodies killed by the Nazis. Then talks in detail about the great plans that Hitler had once he had conquered Europe. Klebold wrote a similar essay on Charles Manson, going into great detail about the various murders he group committed. And towards the end had the following comment:
"The law of America and the state of California stopped Manson from committing more murders, and mostly put an end to his family."
These essays and more can be used to show that both possibly had similar such feelings. Because both wrote strangely detailed essays about 2 of the most famous Genocidal Racists in the 20th century. But while they may indeed (and very probably did) have such beliefs, their actual murder spree seems to have nothing to do with race as much as the insane desire to kill as many as possible.
And such is "Right Wing", only because that is what you say it is. Tell me, is the era of Jim Crowe and the KKK "Right Wing"? Because that was almost entirely the creation of the Democratic Party. Racism and hatred knows no political boundaries, and any attempt to place them on it is only a failure and reflection of that person's own hatred and bias.
And I wonder, am I the only one who is finding the extreme irony of so many trying to claim that this immigrant is "anti-immigrant"? That is like calling a Rabbi "Anti-Semitic".
