Thanks for posting another great example of ignorant partisan nonsense.
Plenty of phony right-wing bullshit claims have been posted here
repeatedly, but that proves nothing to the non-gullible and non-true
believers in the Regressive mythos. Now, feel free to cite your list of
supposed left winger murderers and mass murderers who have a "clearly
identifiable political basis for their crimes" here. Use as much space
as necessary.

[O]n July 18, 1984 James Oliver Huberty, who told his wife he hated
�children, Mexicans and the United States� opened fire inside the
McDonald�s Restaurant in San Ysidro, CA using a Browning P-35 Hi-Power
9mm pistol, Winchester 1200 pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, and an Israeli
Military Industries 9mm Carbine (Uzi) � all legally acquired. He killed
21 and injured 19 before he was shot dead by police.
On Aug. 10, 1999 White supremacist Buford O. Furrow, Jr., fired 70
rounds with an Uzi-type submachine-gun inside the lobby of the Jewish
Community Center in Granada Hills, CA wounding three children, a teenage
counselor and an office worker. He then carjacked a woman�s Toyota at
gunpoint, dumped it behind a motel and murdered US Postal Worker Joseph
Santos with a Glock 9mm handgun.
On July 27, 2008 Former U.S. Army private, Jim David Atkinsson, who
hated Democrats, liberals, African Americans and homosexuals, using a
Remington Model 48 12-gauge shotgun, murdered two people and injured
seven others inside the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church
in Knoxville, TN.
The day after Obama�s inauguration, white supremacist Keith Luke went on
a killing spree in Brockton, Massachusetts. His goal was to kill as many
Jews, blacks and Hispanics as possible. When questioned by
investigators, the deranged gunman who had stockpiled hundreds of rounds
of ammunition, proclaimed that he was fighting the extinction of the
white race.
A little over a month later, Donnie Baker, a former Republican campaign
volunteer shot seven Chilean immigrants in Florida. Those who knew him
said he was obsessed with the fear that illegal immigrants were taking
over the country.
In April of 2009, Richard Popalowski, a white supremacist in Pittsburgh,
shot and killed three police officers following a domestic disturbance
call. He apparently thought that Obama was part of a government
conspiracy to seize all guns, and he feared the government would take
his guns away.
Later the same month, a Fort Walton Beach Florida man who thought the
Obama administration was conspiring against him, shot and murdered two
sheriff�s deputies.
On May 31, 2009 Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his own church by a
right-wing �pro- life� gun man who decided to express his belief in the
sanctity of human life by executing a medical doctor.
Eleven days later a right-wing white supremacist and Holocaust denier
walked into the National Holocaust Museum and killed an African-American
security guard. Two weeks later, three Neo-Nazis were arrested for
bombing a diversity office in Scottsdale, Arizona.
On April 20, 2010 a member of the Sovereign Citizen movement was
arrested after a failed attempt to take over a Tennessee county courthouse.
Exactly one month later, in West Memphis Arkansas, Sovereign citizens
Jerry and Joe Kane murdered two police officers before they themselves
were shot and killed in the ensuing shoot out with police.
On July 18, 2010 Byron Williams, an angry unemployed man, was arrested
by police after they discovered a car full of weapons and ammunition
that he had planned to use to kill progressives. He was on his way to
the non-profit Tides Foundation Center, a favorite target of vitriol
from Glenn Beck�s radio show.
On Jan. 8, 2011 22-year old Jarold Lee Laughner killed six people,
including a judge and a nine-year old child, and wounded 13 others,
including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), using a 9mm Glock 19
pistol during a public meeting in a supermarket parking lot near Tuscon, AZ.
On Aug. 5, 2012 Wade Michael Page, a 40-year old white supremacist and
U.S. Army veteran murdered six people and wounded four others inside a
Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, WI with a Springfield XD(M) semi-automatic pistol.

As for your idiotic delusions:
"The idea that recent mass shooters are mostly registered Democrats is a
myth
by Keith Darling-Brekhus, Tulsa FBI Examiner
January 20, 2013
Based on the assertions of Roger Hedgecock a right-wing radio show host,
the meme that the five worst recent mass shootings were committed by
registered Democrats is making its way through e-mail chains and social
media. Hedgecock asserts, without providing any evidence or sources,
that the Ft. Hood shooter, the Virginia Tech shooter, the Aurora Theater
shooter and Adam Lanza of Sandy Hook infamy were all �registered
Democrats�. He acknowledges that Klebold and Harris (the Columbine
Colorado shooters) were too young to be registered voters but asserts,
again without providing any evidence, that Harris and Klebold�s parents
were progressives or liberal Democrats. All of these charges are utterly
baseless and perhaps do not even deserve a response. However, given the
effectiveness of right-wing lies in saturating social media and duping
the incurious (a far too numerous segment of the population), some more
detailed debunking is in order.
To the best of my ability, I have attempted to research these claims
with as much rigor as possible. If there is any evidence for or against
my debunking, I welcome that evidence in the spirit of free inquiry. Let
me also state that given that neither major political party condones
mass shooter violence in any way, shape or form, and that all these acts
are individual acts of violence that are not sanctioned by either
elected Democrats or Republicans (at least not mainstream leaders in
either party), the very notion that they are acting on behalf of a
political party is itself problematic. This is not to say that mass
shootings are apolitical acts, but rather it is to say that as political
acts they may express an ideology (racism, misogyny, entitlement,
psychosis, etc) but they do not in general express alignment with a
political party or if they do it is not an association that the
Democrats or Republicans would accept as legitimate (neither party wants
to claim James Holmes or Adam Lanza as a member in good standing, no
matter what Holmes or Lanza feels about them). In any case, we can
categorically REJECT the notion that any of the shooters in question has
been shown to be a registered Democrat on a case by case basis.
1. Nidal Hasan (the Ft. Hood shooter) lived in either Virginia (his
state of residence prior to being sent to Ft. Hood) or Texas, neither of
which has partisan registration. Therefore the claim that he was a
"registered Democrat" is false. I do not know if he voted or how he
voted, but I do know that unless he was registered in a state in which
he did not reside, that the claim that he is a registered Democrat is FALSE.
2. Since Virginia does not have partisan registration there is also no
way to tell whether Seung-Hui Cho was a Democrat, but again because
there is no partisan registration in the state we can say that the claim
that he is a registered Democrat is FALSE. (Update: A more obvious point
is that Cho was a resident alien, not a US citizen, so he was not
eligible to vote in the US)
3. The allegation that James Holmes was registered Democrat was based on
a Breitbart blogger Joel B. Pollack, who found voter registration
records for a DIFFERENT James Holmes who was about the same age. Alex
Jones� Infowars and other right-wing websites then dutifully repeated
the lie without verifying it. It was later determined that the Colorado
Theater Shooter James Holmes was NOT registered to vote, as evidenced by
this retraction: {Newly-released information on the suspect�s birthdate
(which, as indicated in our initial report, was a slight mismatch),
combined with new details Breitbart News has obtained about the
suspect�s likely addresses, together suggest that the suspect may, in
fact, not have been registered to vote.}. However, most of right-wing
media continued to promote the lie without printing Breitbart sites
retraction. The claim that James Holmes was a registered Democrat is FALSE.
4. The claim that Adama Lanza is a registered Democrat has been
suggested based not on any evidence that he was registered as one, but
on the rather dubious claim that because Connecticut has almost 2 to 1
Democratic registration over Republicans, he was probably a Democrat.
(Claim: "Adam Lanza, NewtownConn murderer. Registered Democrats
outnumber Republicans by about a 2-1 ratio in Connecticut. The odds are
therefore that the Lanza family are (sic) Democrats.") This of course is
a bogus argument to begin with, but even if we were to make the claim
that a mass shooter�s political affiliation must be the same as the
majority of the people in his area, we can debunk this foolish idea by
taking this shoddy analysis down to the local level. Yes, Connecticut
voted for Barack Obama, BUT the city of Newtown voted for Mitt Romney.
If we look at the results we find that Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama
in Newtown by 7451-6784 votes or 51.7 percent to 47 percent. Republican
Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Linda McMahon carried the city
over Democrat Chris Murphy by an even larger margin. Add in the other
information we have that Lanza�s mother was a �doomsday prepper� and a
home schooler in a Republican-leaning city and we can pretty well
dispense with the erroneous assumption that Lanza must have been a
Democrat (UPDATE: According to at least one media source, Nancy Lanza
was a registered Republican. The source does not provide a link, but the
author of this article is seeking further confirmation). We can
therefore claim that with no evidence to support the claim, the
assertion that Lanza was a Democrat is not demonstrated and that in the
absence of any evidence it is likely FALSE.
5. Klebold and Harris of course were not old enough to vote and they had
no apparent political affiliation. Allegations that they came from
families of Democrats or liberal progressives appear to have no sources
to substantiate those claims. What little ideology the boys demonstrated
owed mostly to an admiration for Timothy McVeigh not Ted Kennedy.
Harris� father was a retired Air Force pilot and Eric Harris wanted to
join the Marine Corps. The boys lived in Littleton, Colorado a
relatively conservative and affluent suburb of Denver. The claim that
their parents were Democrats is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Any suggestion that the
two boys were Democrats is demonstrably FALSE.
