Tell you what, Will, I'll throw down the gauntlet. You go ahead and do what you said - directly link every single one of those people to at least one of those on your list. To keep it fair/equivalent, it needs to be a two way match.
All I want is a first person video or written word verifiably attributed to the criminal where he says he was inspired by one of them. I also want a first person video or written word verifiably attributed to any one of those famous people you mention who has called for "civil disobedience." Obviously, that "call to arms" needs to have occurred prior to the act of violence.
This all should be fairly simple, considering the copious notes you have taken on these right wing lunatics.
In lieu of this project, you could simply agree that the acts of criminals who DON'T state their inspirations can not be fairly linked to famous people just because they share similar views....and that people who DO state their inspirations CAN be linked to people who call for civil disobedience.
Third option is to ignore this post, you guys have gone bat-shit crazy and I just need to laugh you off.
