In Ireland, the political party Sinn Fein was once seen by many as a de-facto wing of the Irish Republican Army – a terrorist organization. @Mehdirhasan asks @kathleen_belew: could we be on the road to a similar situation with the GOP and far-right domestic extremists?

I am much more concerned about far left extremists in America and the democrat party. We are seeing a lot more violence and crime and hate out of that group than an extreme fringe of the right.

No. Sinn Fein had the goal of liberating the rest of their country from English invaders colonizer rule. The GOP wants to turn the US into the 4th Reich.

I take exception to the IRA as being blanketly defined as a "terrorist" organization. Would you claim the same about the PLO? The Republic of Ireland would not today exist were it for the IRA. And, India and Pakistan would not be free but for the work of Indian "terrorists."

I'm offended by this comparison and I'm not even Irish.
