JK: ‘Hate Terrorist’ Fits Monsters

Though it’s academically accurate, according to standard political ideology scales, to call people like von Brunn “extreme right-wing” - the SLPC (Southern Law Poverty Center) calls them “radical right” – I propose that we called them what they are: hate terrorists.  Not only does the term emphasize their vile psychological makeup, it removes any hint of an association with very conservative Republicans. Unfortunately, many members of these radical groups identify themselves as Republicans, but no Republican I know claims them, and it’s a wildly unfair association which suggests an alliance with terrorists. It’s also unwarranted to help legitimize hate terrorist groups as some sort of generally-acknowledged political party.  We should abandon the “right-wing” term in naming these monsters/ Jill Kuraitis , New West Boise.

Question: What do you think of Kuraitis point that monsters like James Von Brunn belong in their own special category: hate terrorists?
