Does anyone have a COMPREHENSIVE list of incidents of right-wing violence?
I've got a list here off the top of my head of about 14 over the last 2.5 years, but I know that there's some that I'm forgetting about.

Here's what I know about.

The assassination attempt on Giffords, killing 6 others.

The assassination of George Tiller.

The bomb planted along the MLK day parade route in Spokane.

The Glenn Beck follower who got into a shootout with police after being stopped from attacking the Tides Foundation.

The Unitarian Church murders.

The arson attack against the mosque construction site in Tennessee.

Rocks thrown through the windows of the offices of at least three or four congresspeople and one local Democratic committee.

The antigovernment/militia father and son who bombed a bank in Oregon, killing two police officers and wounding a third.

Another anti-government father-son duo who murdered two police officers who stopped them on the freeway.

The tax protester who flew a plane into an IRS building.

The anti-Obama right-wing nut who killed three police officers in Pittsburgh because he was convinced that Obama was going to institute a fascist state.

The Hutaree militia members who conspired to murder police officers as the beginning of a war on the government.

The murder of a security guard at the Holocaust Museum by a neo-Nazi.

Mail bombs sent to Janet Napolitano and other administration officials.

1.  I have read nothing about the reason for the Tucson murders
except mental illness.

3. The guy railed about government controlling people, demanded gold and silver currency...
...worshipped Ayn Rand, believed that women shouldn't be allowed to hold public office, and after a fellow student at his college read a poem about getting an abortion, he called her a terrorist.

Contrary to that, the guy hasn't been diagnosed as mentally ill yet. And even if it does turn out that he's schizophrenic, which would be the most likely thing--being schizophrenic does not make you a murderer. It may make you think that the postman is spying on you, or that your parents are aliens, but it doesn't turn you into a mass murderer.

4.  I'm well aware that schizophrenia doesn't make you a killer.
The guy obviously has severe mental problems,whatever you want to call them.

5. I think that's true about pretty much everyone on the right.
Whether they have diagnosed problems, or if they simply fall into that great undiagnosed category known as "assholes."
