Officials see rise in militia groups across US

Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends. The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration. Bart McEntire, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told SPLC researchers that this is the most growth he's seen in more than a decade. "All it's lacking is a spark," McEntire said in the report. It's reminiscent of what was seen in the 1990s—right-wing militias, people ideologically against paying taxes and so-called "sovereign citizens" are popping up in large numbers, according to the report to be released Wednesday.

Usual stuff from the usual suspects spouting their usual cr_p.

The Black Panters BREAK THE LAW, with threats at polling places-— and Obama lets them off the hook.

However, people simply TRAINING for the unthinkable are to be ridiculed?

It must be time for the Southern Poverty Law Center to engage in a fund raising drive with its usual limousine liberal clientele. Nothing works quite like toothless, vicious rednecks with guns to frighten the well-off denizens of Beverly Hills, the Gold Coast, Cambridge, etc..

Sad.. Andrew bites on a well planted story about ‘militias’ preparing to stage an armed takeover of america.. simply to further marginalize real americans speaking out about healthcare, and obummer’s socialist march...

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...

All it's lacking is a spark," McEntire said in the report.

The spark occurred last November.

It’s important that studies, like this one, do their work and illuminate possible upcoming danger. It would be derelict of the authorities not to keep an eye on militias, perpetrators of the greatest mass-murder in U.S. history.

No, wait..that would be the Muslims. Never mind.

Myyy oooooh myyyy, look what the Great Uniter, (the messiah!) has spawned. His civilian guard he promised us? Seems it has has risen from its sleep!

Hate to see how large it could be and the outcome. Hopefully it will be peaceful with tea and flowers in the park.

It's probably the reason for the army to advertise on their website for an Internment/Resettlement Specialist (31E) along with the National Guard.

[Major Matt Mason]

More BS from the SPLC. This stuff is too predictable. Let's see the evidence.

[Madame Dufarge]

Oh yeah, they’ll be digging up Timothy McVeigh and trotting him out as a “right-wing Republican” any day now.

[...Let’s see the evidence.]

Don’t you realize that evidence does not matter? It’s the seriousness of the charge - THAT’S what matters.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Granted that the SPLC is an hysterical leftist group they can still be considered as a rough index of leftist fears. The left is uneasy and even a bit fearful of what is happening.

[BOBTHENAILER]

The FBI's assistant director for counterterrorism, Michael Heimbach, said that law enforcement officials need to identify people who go beyond hateful rhetoric and decide to commit violent acts and crimes.

Heimbach said one of the easiest ways for us to get the information on these types of gun clinging, bible toting sickos, is straight off the Whitehouse FISHY WEBSITE.

He went on to say that they have catalogued over 21,787,654 individuals and websites since the Whitehouse instituted their "RAT OUT YOUR NEIGHBOR" website.

"All it's lacking is a spark,"

I remember the spark in Waco. Last time I remember government armored vehicles employed against civilians. Where's Janet these days? She knew how to handle dissent. Had to kill the children to save them then.

[vetvetdoug]

SPLC...an organization that needs money to pay for the founders’(Morris Dees) sexual harassment, extramarital payoffs, and out of wedlock children child support.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a joke. I used to live in Montgomery and know all about Morris Sleaze and Richard Cohen. They use this crap to solicit donations from like minded morons.
