This isn’t some kind of game where we’ve got a chalkboard marked “left wing sins” and “right wing sins”. This is very serious business about domestic terrorists in our nation. I’d like to think that for once we could put aside the partisan bickering.

Well said. Even the most whacko, radical extreme environmentalists as a rule destroy property, not people. Which doesn’t make them saints, of course, but they’re operating on qualitatively different principles. And I don’t know of any left-wing group since the 60s whose aim is to overthrow the government, but nowadays there are militias aplenty (see Web) who openly embrace that goal. Apples, oranges. Distracting. Not productive.
