Dear Town Hall Protestors: The Left thinks you’re just like those racist militias
NewsReal Blog ^ | August 13, 2009 | Tim and Alissa Birkel

Oh dear. It seems those Evil, Extremist, Racist, Right-Wing Militias are On The Rise Again. At least they are if you ask the Southern Poverty Law Center, a supposedly non-profit tracker of “hate groups,” which has released a new study (seen here, though it contains little research and mostly anecdote and innuendo) finding just that.

Theoretically, the SPLC would find itself out of its lucrative line of work if hate groups weren’t continually on the rise everywhere, at all times. The Center makes a pretty penny churning out similar headlines every few years, always with calls for money to oppose such groups – though strangely enough, when a real hate crime, like that committed by the New Black Panther Party occurs, the SPLC is nowhere to be found.

But during an otherwise unremarkable, paint-by-numbers rant, SPLC Director Mark Potok used this new study to pull a particularly egregious slur during his dialogue with Anderson Cooper (on Anderson Cooper 360) Wednesday evening. After going on for some time about the reasons these groups are on the rise – mainly, Potok asserts, because a black man was elected president – we got this little gem of an exchange:

They don’t believe it. Its just the meme of the moment.

Whatever you do, if you oppose the DNC, you’re a racist and a fascist. Both. And a hired mob. That too.

and they need to remind us again, why we should care what they think? They are no where on my radar, and never have been.

I think that the whole regime of obamanation are just looking for a way to call Marshall Law into effect. And calling us “militia” is flame throwing..

What do they call black conservatives that oppose BO’s policies? Are they racist against the white half of BO?

I was thinking about that earlier. Those people are in cross wise... they are hated by the black liberals and not completely accepted as being conservative by the whites...

I think those who oppose obananation really are intelligent and came from good caring homes and not from the ghettos all over the country. And they are smart enough to see through the lies.

I think there is a certain conservative black middle class that is successful in raising their families, having jobs that they work hard at to support them and live their lives according to the Bible and conservative traditional values over all.

On the other hand, I think blacks who are not conservative fall into three separate groups: the unedicated poor, the morally corrupt and the black liberal elitists.

I actually believe your last paragraph speaks to liberal whites too. It’s all about absolute truths and values, isn’t it?
