Protecting the US president has presented the secret service with the greatest challenge in its history. But who wants to kill him? And how likely are they to succeed?The Southern Poverty Law Center began life in 1971 as a tiny law firm specialising in civil rights cases. It took on the might of the Ku Klux Klan, and was duly rewarded by having its offices razed and its senior lawyers targeted for assassination. But it kept on going and grew to be one of the most respected monitoring groups of rightwing extremism in America today.
Recently it brought out a report called Terror From the Right, which identifies, in chronological order, the serious home-grown plots, conspiracies and racist rampages that have been cooked up in America since the Oklahoma City bomb in 1995. The list runs to 10 pages of closely printed type and itemises 75 domestic terrorism events, from plans to bomb government buildings to attempts to kill judges and politicians.
Each of the incidents aimed to change the political face of America through violence, courtesy of groups with such titles as Aryan People's Republic, The New Order and The Hated. But in the summer of 2008 the chronology takes on a sharp change of tack. Entries, which had been running at one or two per year, start coming faster. And instead of a variety of different targets, one name crops up time and time again: Barack Obama.

The state of Hawaii has an FAQ on the Obama Certification of Live Birth. Hawaii law allows for Obama’s original birth
records to be subpoenaed without his permission by anyone with a court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. It has always surprised me that no enterprising prosecuting attorney has sought a subpoena for the original records as a part of a forgery investigation.

The Southern Poverty Law Center ... grew to be one of the most respected monitoring groups of rightwing extremism in America today.
“But in the summer of 2008 ...” [0 is the target ... starting with six people in a militia group: June 8, 2008]
” ... recently the adoration has been drowned out by a cacophony of criticism from tea party activists, birthers, global-warming deniers and viewers of Fox News. At the same time, largely hidden from view, there has been a layer of antagonism towards Obama that lies well beyond the boundaries of reasonable political debate. ...”
[Yeah, smear the entire nation and cobble us with racists. Gee, thanks.]
Southern Poverty Law Center survey [Mark Potok]: “Virtually every domestic terrorist event we have identified since June 2008 – when it became obvious that Obama was going to win – has been directly related to him.”
[Missed quite a few, I would say. Stack, for one.]
“The centre’s latest report, released last week, records an astonishing mushrooming in extremist anti-government Patriot groups who see the Obama administration as a plot to impose “one-world government” on liberty-loving Americans. The numbers leapt from 149 groups in 2008 to 512 groups in 2009, of which 127 were classed as paramilitary groups.”
“We know there has been a spike in activity across a broad range of things, particularly with regard to the notion that this government is illegitimate,” says Brian Levin, a criminologist who heads the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University. Levin says the phenomenon is evident in rural areas around the Appalachian mountains and Great Lakes and into the west and Pacific north-west, where new armed militia groups are spontaneously emerging; and he has no doubt about why this is happening right now: “We’ve always had people who hate the president, we’ve always had conspiracies, but the fact that we have a black president at a time of economic tumult makes these conspiracies much more volatile among a far wider group of people.”
[Show the freaking birth certificate then! Come on, I challenge Obama to make fools of us who’ve been calling for it.]

Summary of how this barfer gets even more rabid: more cobbling of conservatives with racists and Stack-like leftist / paranoid-of-the-military kooks.
A lot about McVeigh at the end. I had heard that McVeigh was largely leftist.
Pitty the secret-service bodyguards who wants to protect a p.o.s. like Obama?

Totally agree, The SPLC is nothing more than a Marxist organization. How they have any credibility with their radical positions and statements is beyond comprehension.
To the SPLC, all Conservatives are hate groups and racists.
Yes. They file law suits against white men in suits.
Did they not pay attention to the Alabama university shooter, guy that flew his plane into the IRS building and Pentagon shooter? Did they fail to notice all the left wing hate and terrorism?
No. No. No. Yes. The first three incidents never happened, and there is no left wing hate and/or terrorism.
“To the SPLC, all Conservatives are hate groups and racists.”
What do you expect from communist thugs?
They could probably find as much on extremist groups threatening ANY president.
But we’ll never hear about the radical left-wing groups who wanted to target Reagan or Bush.
Being able to whine *racism* gets so much more mileage.
We used to have a commie rag named “The Guardian” here too. Maybe all part of the glorious international movement? Maybe it is still around. It was weekly and I read it a few times
I hope obama doesn’t get shot. We don’t need another black holiday.
Better he lose an election and go down in disgrace with Jimmy Carter.
Hey morons, the Klan were DEMOCRATS! Democrats have done more harm to blacks with their "well meaning" legislation that substantially destroyed the black family than all the so-called right wing hate groups.
Good point. Based on their logic, Robert Byrd is a rightwing extremist.
As a side note being the Messiahs SS has to be a nerve racking job evertime he steps outside, have to give them some credit.
Bears repeating. He's bought and paid for by the Mob beginning with those on the South Side of Chicago. And he knows that when they call in their chips he'd better deliver...or else. So far, he hasn't delivered and that's why he's becoming more and more desperate.
I’m convinced the Left doesn’t believe in freedom of speech. They want to turn everything into a plot against Obama.
SPLC is a partisan scam. No information that comes from them is of any use whatsoever.
