Honest question, who is denying those acts as terrorism?

I also take exception with calling a group "far right" when its prime ideology is racism and separatism.

Okay, what would you call it? Serious question.

Racial separatists? Many of those groups don't go farther than that. The for-real nazis & their ilk are socialists to the extent they have a political/economic agenda. National Socialist==white people taking care of white people.
I'm not saying that means they're today's lefties or progressives either. It's more of a throwback ideology to the late 1800s & early 1900s of the American populist, nativist, union movements.

 
I like to feign outrage that someone would use a humorous statement over someone's death to make a point, then make a sarcasmic joke about a mass murder myself in the very next paragraph.

Neocon Ann Coulter, meanwhile, viewed Tiller’s murder as a source of comic relief, telling O’Reilly, “ I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester.” The Republican/neocon double standard when it comes to terrorism is obvious. At Fox News and AM neocon talk radio, Islamic terrorism is a source of nonstop fear-mongering, while Christian Right terrorism gets a pass.

3. Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church shooting, July 27, 2008. On July 27, 2008, Christian Right sympathizer Jim David Adkisson walked into the Knoxville Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee during a children’s play and began shooting people at random. Two were killed, while seven others were injured but survived. Adkisson said he was motivated by a hatred of liberals, Democrats and gays, and he considered neocon Bernard Goldberg’s book, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, his political manifesto. Adkisson (who pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and is now serving life in prison without parole) was vehemently anti-abortion, but apparently committing an act of terrorism during a children’s play was good ol’ Republican family values.

I also like to act as though it's somehow significant that a nation where roughly 240 million people self identify as "Christian" and around half of those as "conservative" has slightly more "terrorist" acts by that roughly 100 million so-called conservative Christians than the 2.4 million Muslims.

I agree somewhat.. in some cases. There was some chick running for president in France a few years ago that sort of fell into that ilk. I wouldn't call it socialism, but it definitely wasn't the business friendly conservative ideology either.

Still, a lot of these nutjobs definitely fall into the reactionary category, and not all of them are huge racists.
