Violence of any kind is wrong. However, McVeigh wasn't the rightwinger you have been led to believe. He was actually an anti-government anarchist which makes him a bit of a leftist. He was also a nut-case that was bounced out of Special Forces Selection because he failed his psychological evaluation. Just because he was a vet doesn't mean he was a Republican. Witnesses said that some Middle-Eastern guys were seen hanging around with him. He would be a perfect candidate for ISIS today if he was still around. It was rumored that he was quickly executed to shut him up. Normally an execution goes through decades of appeals. Not in his case. Only 4 years.
Yeah but the rabid right claims Hitler was of the liberal left too, so......
McVeigh refused to appeal his sentence.
And nobody jumped to his defense.
Hitler was a Socialist/ Fascist. That makes him a lefty.
He was a Fascist and despised Socialist and liberals. Made him an authoritarian dictator.
(after losing two appeals) McVeigh said he wanted to die and instructed his lawyers to launch no further appeals against his sentence. His execution originally was set for May 16 but later postponed by nearly a month.
The execution of Timothy McVeigh Global The Guardian
So what. Doesn't stop the ACLU from filing an appeal on his behalf. Nobody argued against the death penalty for him either.
Hitler started out as a Socialist and made himself into a dictator.
The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: About this sound Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei , abbreviated NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party (/ˈnɑːtsi/), was a political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that practiced Nazism. Its predecessor, the German Workers' Party (DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920.
The party emerged from the German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post-World War I Germany.[5] Advocacy of a form of socialism by right-wing figures and movements in Germany became common during and after World War I, influencing Nazism.[6] Arthur Moeller van den Bruck of the Conservative Revolutionary movement coined the term "Third Reich",[7] and advocated an ideology combining the nationalism of the right and the socialism of the left.[8] Prominent Conservative Revolutionary member Oswald Spengler's conception of a "Prussian Socialism" influenced the Nazis.[9] The party was created as a means to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.[10] Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain the support of industrial entities, and in 1930s the party's focus shifted to antisemitic and anti-Marxist themes.[11]
