Terrorism isn't really in the eye of the beholder
by digby
If one defines terrorism as violence for political or ideological reasons against civilians then it looks like the San Bernardino attack was an act of terrorism. So was Colorado Springs.
Here's a poll on how people see the latter:
I think the Republicans believe that only a Muslim can commit terrorism. Or that all terrorism is committed by Muslims.
I would guess they'd be willing to stretch the definition to include other foreigners and Americans with names or skin color that don't sound and look like their own, though.
