While you're probably right about the lack of participation of others in the OK City bombing, you're not quite right to say McVeigh was "backed by no organization." How do you think he met Terry Nichols?
You're probably well up on this point, but if not, take a quick "Google" of the term "Christian Identity". What Taxwonk seems to be asking is whether we should now, or should have then, taken violent action against all those Americans in, affiliated with, or supporting that movement after the OK City bombings. [Or, perhaps, a mostly separate group -- all those Americans who quietly support the murder of doctors who commit abortions.]
Taxwonk may not know, (or it may not be relevant to his point) that a combination of government infiltration, economic recovery, and forcible federal responses against certain goups drained much of the life out of the Christian Identity movement in the late 1990s. Still, his question remains: Should we kill them all to keep the movement from rising again?

The Christian Identity Movement, the Church of the Creator, and the Militia Movement are all regaining strength, at least in part in anticipation of the coming race war the current Arab conflict is predicted to precipitate.
But, and Bilmore overlooked this point because he has no answer to it other than the obvious one, I was using McVeigh and the radical fundamentalist movement in the US to demonstrate that Bilmore won't raise the same arguments if you ask him to support their application to white Americans.
