And while the left-wing groups were extremists acting against the wishes of the broader left, most of the right-wing attacks were with the active support of the local conservative establishment
Would you have a citation on that?
Right-wing generally means in favor of a stratified society and strong support for traditional values.
Well, economically, right-wing means free market. You are, so to speak, alluding to the alleged fact that on Nolan's political compass players are roughly aligned along the diagonal from libertarian left to authoritarian right. Yet the totalitarian left and the libertarian right deviate from that line significantly. But okay.
I do not know of any people killed by animal rights activists, but I do not see why property damage due to eco-terrorism should be particularly difficult to estimate, or be subject to vastly divergent interpretations. The FBI estimates the costs of eco-terrorism in the five year period 2003-2008 to be about 200 million dollars (see wikipedia). If I may be allowed a moment of grim and rather irrelevant cynicism, that's significantly more than the added values of the life insurances of nine typical individuals. And we haven't counted any G20 protests and their likes yet. The Battle of Seattle alone cost taxpayers above 20 million dollars.
Financial costs of right-wing inspired property damage? I don't know, you are welcome to enlighten me. Only American Christians, conservatives or right-wingers count, because this whole discussion springs to life from what is a perceived danger coming from that direction - something the media has been munching on as of late.
