They're a well-known authority in the business of watching hate groups.

Well-known to the literate folks, that is.
 
Of course, McVeigh may never be as popular as other extremist and far-right heroes and memes - - the swastika, the burning cross, Adolf Hitler, Pepe the Frog, George Lincoln Rockwell, the numbers 88 and 14 words, the KKK blood-drop cross, William Pierce.

So basically a handful of extremist far right conservatives do something stupid. Who's excusing their actions?

Everyone who's screaming about liberal violence and hate.

Far right (and I mean far far right extremists) do seem to deify folks like McVeigh but they are extremely rare and don't represent conservatives.

how is pointing to violence that has been done by some on the left equate to excusing the actions of the far far right? I mean the violence from some of these protests is very real.

No excuse making needed

If our laws are enforced fairly trhen the radical right should be arrested along with radiocal muslims

But from a very small muslim population in America there are as many mass muirderers and as many victims as the right wingers you listed

And from this quote something isz missing

Can you tell me what it is?

So radical ideologies, whether they be Islamist or white nationalist, are appealing to people who struggle to find meaning and a sense of personal value in their own lives and view another group as the repository of evil against which they must fight to reclaim that meaning and value,” he said.

It's a great "click bait", "reinforces my own beliefs" sort of site that enables nonsense to be "sourced".

For the rest of us clear minded thinkers, it's a garbage site, a garbage article and nothing more than absurdity.

This is definitely a lie. I'm far more likely to die by a white supremacist than a Muslim.

I'm curious about the statistics on that. I'm pretty sure more died in the 9/11 attacks than people murdered by white supremacists since 2000
