The 1990s saw a wave of right wing terrorism, with bombings of courthouses, IRS offices, Amtrak trains, Forest Service offices, the Atlanta Olympics and the Oklahoma City federal building.
Now the paranoia and violence are back. And a member of Congress has been shot in the head.
As before, fuel is poured on the flame by right wing media personalities spouting hatred, paranoia and lies, from G. Gordon "head shots" Liddy to Glenn Beck. Now we even have politicians calling for "Second Amendment Solutions" and exhorting the true believers to "reload" rather than retreat.
It is their right to do this. But that doesn't make it right.
