Yes. Key word being extremist. Not every Muslim is a fundamentalist terrorist, not every right winger is a violent, racist white supremacist.

I've only read excerpts from his manifesto, it's a tough read. The guy didn't sit around listening to the radio to get pumped up before packing explosives into a cigar box though. He may have been right leaning, but he was way out there, and pushing an agenda akin to the Amish (by a different means though).

Again though, he wouldn't have had a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on his rented Uhaul. The two are at totally opposite ends of the spectrum.

Sorry, I won't make payments for imagined statements that no one can prove.

So to me, i dont see the difference you wanted me to. In fact I find them somewhat similar. Beck is to them as an extreme Imam is to his followers, he's just ambiguous and careful because he's here whereas the Imam can be more verbose. He's in that camp of people like Palin saying ambiguous things like reload and putting targets on people. If it looks like a dollar and buys me food, its a dollar.

There's not much extreme about the guy, he's on a major news network (not Al Jazeera either). He panders to a crowd that has next to nothing in common with the various terrorists listed above. It's not like he's out fundraising for the Montana Freeman or the Patriot movement. He's not even that extreme, just a little right of left leaning folks. The guys you're all so afraid of probably pay rapt attention to the teachings of William Pierce or Adolf Hitler.
