A right OR left wing extremist is just that; that's why your mouthpieces are so defensive.

Now we see fained shock and horror when the American right doesn't want to claim an extremist European right winger. So explain in little words so a slow person like me can understand, how exactly did it come to be the American left doesn't = European left but American does = European right? Or is it just European racist, fascist mass murders o children that = American right? I can see why you would so upset that someone would not be willing to accept that.
The notion that Fox, Beck and the rest have nothing (rather than nearly everything) in common with Breivik is belied by their haste to paint him as a liberal, or the innocent children he killed as Hitler youth. They aren't distinguishing between "American" and "European" right/left either; they recognize all they have in common with Breivik but simply deny rather than mend it. Yeah, there's a big difference between the American and European left/right: Europe is generally far more liberal, so the left is more liberal and the right and less conservative here. Put in those terms, a moderate conservative in America is far right here, and a the American far right is... well, maybe there's a reason Fox and Beck are so defensive. No one accused them of ANYTHING until they decided to step up and deny the guilt they clearly feel; perhaps they should ask themselves why they need to displace it (preferably to their own opposition, the very kind of people one of their sympathizers just murdered).
The bottom line here remains that over 70 people, most of them children, were murdered by a far right terrorist simply because they were liberals and, inexplicably, the villain here is still those dead children, the real victims those who feel persecuted for their conservatism (e.g. Anders Breivik). 911 was the worst terrorist attack against America, perpetrated by terrorists whose ideology is almost purely far left. Utøya was the worst shooting massacre in world history perpetrated by a terrorist whose ideology is almost pure far right. Why is it so easy for you to accept the former, but not the latter? Norways far right party doesn't have a problem admitting Breivik was a member; they simply say it was almost a decade ago and that he left when he became too extreme, and disavow his acts. That's reasonable and responsible, it sends the message that whatever their political ideology they don't condone or encourage murdering the oppositions children. It's a pity and a true shame Americas far right refuses to be as rational, responsible or even decent. Ya'll keep demanding peaceful moderate Muslims speak out against radical Muslim terrorists, falsely implying that none do so and therefore none exist. Where's YOUR outrage when someone pursues your political goals through murder? Why is a conservative murdering liberals just one more reason to fight liberals at any cost, and how can you not see that only encourages other unbalanced conservatives to murder more liberals? It's not your fault they're violently insane, but suggesting victims for them is.
Enough. Your extreme radicalism is marginalizing you in America, and it can't happen soon enough, because you're doing a great job convincing the rest of the planet that America is nothing but rich, spoiled violent bigots. If that embarrasses you, it should; when you get tired of the shame the simple solution is to stop saying and doing shameful things rather than demanding the rest of the world accept your reprehensible behavior.
