Explain to me why this guy is “right wing.” Let’s assume he really is a Nazi (because it is possible the wife lied to cover up killing him for the money he inherited). Why is a Nazi right wing? Why not label everyone on the left extremists for the occasional Charlie Manson, or ELF arson attack, or some similar thing? I do not see a lot of conservatives embracing Nazis. Last time I checked, Pat Buchanan was in the wilderness (and he is not exactly a Nazi). I do see quite a few on the left tolerating former Weathermen though.

I never saw Tim McVeigh as right wing either. Sure he was libertarian, but in a completely nutburger way. He did not believe in God (so the Christianist connection does not work), he opposed the first Iraq war, his only real connection to the right wing was a obsession with gun rights, if anything McVeigh was more aligned with the murderers at Columbine than any real political movement. He was an anarchist, who wanted to be famous.
