I didn't want to get into a left-right pissing contest on this, but first of all, there's a difference between an organized group that commits arson over many years and a single nutcase with a bomb. The Oklahoma City bombing was two guys. The Olympic Park bomber was another guy, and he's also suspected of the only abortion clinic bombing that killed anyone (to the best of my knowledge), as well as other abortion clinic bombings. So far, this is a total of three guys who account for most of your list. While they did horrendous damage between them, and killed many more people than ELF ever did,* this is hardly a large movement.

Also, the people you mention are in jail, or have even been executed. The ELF folks give speeches on college campuses and hand out flyers at rallys.

*Unless you count the people dying as a result of the disruption of genetically modified food programs or ruined medical research
