Wait a minute, because Westboro has extreme views they are automatically put into a right side category?

In their view they're apolitical, they have strong anti-gay and anti-abortion views, strong antiwar and antigovernment rules, yet they use the tax system and the courts. The founder of the Westboro church was anti-segregation and played a key role in civil rights litigation and was at the forefront of getting Jim Crowe overturned.

Also weren't the weathermen underground one of the first domestic terrorist groups on the far side of the left.

As were the Black Panthers?

There are and have been violent fringe groups on both sides, however I'm not sure I would evaluate militia groups or radical racial groups on the far left or far right as their views on various issues are inconsistant.
