Synopsis: The linkage was yet another example of an over-eager National Guard EEO briefing.
August, 2013: DOD Training Materials Call Conservatives 'Extremists'
Judicial Watch obtained Defense Department training materials on Friday that described conservative and civil liberties organizations as “hate groups.”
The training materials used by the Air Force were created to help students “recognize extremists ideologies.” The materials identified conservative values, such as individual liberties and states’ rights, as recruiting rhetoric used by “extremists.”
April, 2013: Army Email Labels Christian Ministries as “Domestic Hate Groups” ("Anti-Gay")
A U.S. Army officer sent an email to dozens of subordinates listing the American Family Association and Family Research Council as “domestic hate groups” because they oppose homosexuality — and warned officers to monitor soldiers who might be supporters of the groups.
“Just want to ensure everyone is somewhat educated on some of the groups out there that do not share our Army Values,” read an email from Lt. Col. Jack Rich to three dozen subordinates at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. “When we see behaviors that are inconsistent with Army Values – don’t just walk by – do the right thing and address the concern before it becomes a problem.”
And, though I can't find it right now, I do remember something about a similar incident happening a couple of years ago involving the Pennsylvania National Guard.
Bottom line: there are a whole lot of "isolated incidents" going on here...
Meanwhile with the agenda shaping and forming:
August 2012: Hateful speech on hate groups (The Family Research Council is NOT a hate group)
Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization, posted an alert on its blog Tuesday: “Paul Ryan Speaking at Hate Group’s Annual Conference.”
The “hate group” that the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate would be addressing? The Family Research Council, a mainstream conservative think tank founded by James Dobson and run for many years by Gary Bauer.
August 2009: Anti-Government Militia Groups on the Rise, (Southern Poverty) Law Center Says
Depending on your perspective, the rise of private, anti-government militias represents either the very best of American patriotism or is an ominous sign of a violent future. Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center released a report showing that the militia movement is returning to levels not seen since the 1990s, when a series of high-profile stand-offs with federal agents culminated in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people. According to the SPLC, the number of people who have joined what it terms "hate groups" has increased by 54 percent since the year 2000.
The SPLC identified 926 hate groups active in 2008, up more than 4 percent from the 888 groups in 2007 and far above the 602 groups documented in 2000. A list and interactive state-by-state map of these groups can be viewed here.
It’s all part of the narrative of the left that people who want the Constitution upheld, soldiers, and white christian males are terrorists.
Obama wants his night of broken glass.
I have sat through these briefing at demob time from overseas deployments.
Nobody listens to them. We just want to “check the box” and get home.
To the boys and girls currently infesting Barry’s fabulous Pentagon, AMERICANS are a “hate group”.
exactly, the socialists and communists want to change the military to a queer, fairy non Christian military.
Their objective is to destroy the military as best as they can.
And will this piece of sh7t soldier who made the slideshow be fired? Of course not.
Thanks Mark. I find it interesting that the Southern Poverty Law Center considers any organization that does not have its view on LBGT issues is a “hate group.”
Z & N, see the article at link.
and let me add — not surprising either.
Sadly, there are a lot of squishy GOP who feel the same way now about many conservative groups...especially the Rove/Soros cabal
Thanks for the ping. I read the article at the link. The Army ducked the bullet by blaming the guy who prepared the briefing.
Any group that doesn’t agree with Obama’s sodomite agenda is a “hate group.”
The anti-military, anti-Christian paper-hanging muslim-in-chief has effectively destroyed the US military, by allowing the hostile takeover by sodomites into the US military and women into the Special Forces and infantry. It will take years to fix what this bastard accomplished in eight years. Carter and Clinton’s hatred of all things military was bad enough, but they were nothing compared to this treasonous, Benedict Arnold SOB.
I agree. This administration is anti-christian and anti-american from the top down.
