Amid the orchestrated phony protests over President Barack Obama’s health care reform efforts, a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, SPLC, documents another threat to the health of the Black community and the nation’s stability: rising racism within right-wing militias.
In its report entitled “Return of the Militias,” the Southern Poverty Law Center points out that the militia movement, that faded in the 1990s, is back and that “One big difference from the militia movement of the 1990s is that the face of the federal government — the enemy that almost all parts of the extreme right see as the primary threat to freedom — is now Black. And the fact that the president is an African American has injected a strong racial element into even those parts of the radical right, like the militias, that in the past were not primarily motivated by race hate. Contributing to the racial animus have been fears on the far right about the consequences of Latino immigration.”
The report also noted that “At the same time, ostensibly mainstream politicians and media pundits have helped to spread Patriot and related propaganda, from conspiracy theories about a secret network of U.S. concentration camps to wholly unsubstantiated claims about the president's country of birth.”

I know it's not nice to hate but who the hell says I have to be nice?
A mind terribly wasted
...the SPLC is always looking for a boogy man...they’ve gotten rich doing it.
Good lord.
These folks are just Sooooooooooooooo predictable and sooooooooooo uninventive.
OTOH, we can predict exactly how they behave/respond to almost any given situation.
Pathetic.
That's far enough. Whoever wrote that is a complete idiot or a liar or both. He has nothing at all to say to me.
The Lib/Race Baiting echo chamber in action.
The SPLC spews a lie, the race baiters pick up the ball and run with it.
So what are these clowns going to do when they figure out that the race card isn’t working anymore?
Smells like projection to me.
The most succinct thing I have read in years.
Southern Poverty Law Center sees best year ever

Exactly.
“nd the fact that the president is an African American has injected a strong racial element into even those parts of the radical right, like the militias, that in the past were not primarily motivated by race hate.

He’s not an African American. He’s an African Canadian. Don’t you read the Globe? But it would be easy to substantiate the Obama camp’s claims that he’s an American. Just show us his real birth certificate. What are you afraid of?
need to Kick his half WHITE SIDE all the way back to chicago
Isn’t that funny? Must be the same people that were homeless during Republican administrations and disappear under the Dems. They become a milita!
A person in a frenzy seldom stops to check the rationality of their headlong rush into the cage set for them.
