So if a person commits terrorism in the name of a right-wing cause (spoiler alert: Islamic fundamentalism is a right wing cause), that means they are by definition mentally ill?
That's they only way I can interpret this rhetorical question since the cases involve people who are not mentally ill - or at least were of sound mind and body while they committed terrorist acts in the name of their various causes.
Your link incidentally involves things as simple as using a racial slur while committing an act of violence against white people. How using the word "cracker" while killing someone equates to "liberal Democrat" inspired anything is a mystery, but you've opened up a whole arena of crimes to the label of terrorism that aren't normally considered such. You might be surprised to find out that people use racial epithets while committing crimes against minorities. Shocking, I know. That, in of itself, is not typically considered terrorism.
If you bothered to read the link, which odds are you did not, you'd see the cases listed are things like murdering abortion providers to intimidate other abortion providers. The racial terrorist acts involve people with white supremacist manifestos engaging in targeted attacks of racial groups in misguided effort to further their political views and things of that nature. That's quite different than a random act of violence that incidentally involves hate speech or is a hate crime. A neo-Nazi suicide attack on a holocaust museum is not the same thing as someone calling a white person a cracker as they mug them.
