James G. Cummings was a right-wing trust fund millionaire from Maine who was slain by his wife in December.
Cummings was known for his opposition to Obama. Much of his vitriol was of the sort you might see on any right-wing blog these days.
But it turns out Cummings was also a Nazi sympathizer who filled out a form to join a Nazi organization and displayed a flag with a Nazi swastika. And it also turns out that Cummings tried to make a dirty bomb. He had all the ingredients - even uranium - and tried making the bomb in his kitchen sink.
He planned to set off the bomb as a protest against Obama's election.
Cummings's wife also told police that he subjected her to years of mental, physical, and sexual abuse.
This millionaire was a nuclear Timothy McVeigh - yet the media outside Maine didn't cover the story. That's because he was practically a creation of the strain of right-wing vitriol that dominates talk radio and the wingnutosphere.
For years, international terrorism has been held out as America's greatest threat. But there's one bigger threat that's been ignored: right-wing domestic terrorism.
