He's saying they are all about personal freedom not ideology.

Sure over the great span of history. This discussion to me is about recently here in the US. Excluding one period in the 60's in which both sides were flirting with the bare edge of acceptable violence against each other, and which i consider more a of a civil cold war and not to be counted, theres an overwhelming amount of evidence that nearly all the political violence it is right wing. I can find examples of left wing violence, just not really political. ALF and other extreme green or animal rights groups... Frankly too, when you consider the 60's, it was really just a couple of groups like the weathermen etc, and I believe there was little actual violence. Just idle threats. All of the heavy hitters identified themselves as right sided though including Kazinsky and McVeigh.

Oh, I dont know about white supremacists, but Christians definitely overwhelmingly vote republican. This is always one of the things I find ridiculous about conservatives. All this claim to less government and letting you live and thats the first party to tell you how to live and allow governing, legislation and laws based on morals rather than ethics. Add to that the ridiculous idea of people who in one breath invoke jesus and in the next invoke a party and support its ideals that do the exact opposite of what he taught. there are exceptions sure, but if we're talking what the obvious majority you can pretty much count on? Yeah thats well known.
