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.
