Too late. It happened during the Clinton administration when the Phoenix office of the FBI put out a pamphlet stating:
If you encounter any of the following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force: defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN
[Go here for the entire list and pictures]
People may not want to believe it, but it happened. They even held a press conference because of it. One of the officials stated it was accidentally released too early!
There was a lot of chatter on FR about it. I'll see if I can dig up a thread.
Interesting; but if you’ll recall, at the time, there was some degree of publicity as to well-armed “survivalist” groups who were seen as whacked-out race-war leftovers from Y2K, and, there was furthermore an association of these type groups with the Murrah bombing in OK city. Of course, the mention of “UN” in the group name (and I’ll bet most Americans still view the UN today as an entirely altruistic organization with lofty goals etc; etc) I say this because it’s sort an interesting thought as to how these groups were thought of at the time.
In the case of UC Berkeley studying conservative groups or conservatism, I have not the slightest doubt that this will take shape along Alinsky lines: Isolate & ridicule > discredit.
