We left-wingers understand that terrorism is a type of attack. It is not defined by the motivation.

Terrorist acts are committed for a legitimate reason or an illegitimate reason. But right-wingers think the motivation is part of the definition. So what left-wingers label as terrorist attacks, such as the mass murder by Anders Brevik (because it's a mass attack on innocents intended to intimidate a demographic), right-wingers don't, because they consider the motivation legitimate (Christian supremacy in this case). Pundits like those on Fox News will never label white, non-Muslim terrorists as terrorists, because they agree with the motivation. This makes them terrorist sympathizers.
