Making A List, Checking It Twi— Ka-Boom!!

From the Southern Poverty Law Center, a list of right-wing extremist activity since its high-point, Timothy McVeigh blowing up the Oklahoma City Federal Bldg. in 1995.
They've been trying, but haven't managed to pull off another big one since. (Bet that will change soon. It's the only thing that will save our country!) We anxiously await a similar compilation of atrocities, attempted & successful, from the left side of the aisle. We're sure it will be at least three times as long as this one.
While waiting, we offer the Most Lost In A Fantasy World Awards (And the "Adolf" goes to ..."):
December 12, 1997 A federal grand jury in Arkansas indicts three men on racketeering charges for plotting to overthrow the government and create a whites-only Aryan People's Republic, which they intend to grow through polygamy. [The Kehoe brothers:] Cheyne went to the authorities after Chevie began talking about murdering their parents and showing sexual interest in Cheyne's wife.
December 8, 1999 Beauregard [...] once claimed to have discovered a secret map detailing a planned UN takeover mistakenly printed on a box of Trix cereal.
Silly rabbit.
