For John, BLUF: We should stop using "left" and "right" regarding politics. Nothing to see here; just move along.
On Democracy Now, just now, there was clip where the Kansas City Jewish Center shooter, Mr Frazier Glenn Cross (or Miller), a Democrat, was categorized as being on the "right wing". Which is it, or is there a deeper issue here that the Southern Poverty Law Center is unable or unwilling to address?
There is little doubt that Mr Cross is a murderer and someone who encourages hate against groups of people he does not respect. This is not about that. This is about how other folks use labels to try and spread hate against additional people, trying to shove them into an evil circle they would otherwise avoid. Maybe Mr Mark Potok, of the SPLC, was just careless, but to me it just seems disingenuous, at best.
