Strange that the article makes no mention of black racist groups such as the NOI or Black Panthers.

"But it's not the numbers that matter, said ADL's Kaiman. "I'm not worried about the guys in the front of the room making speeches and handing out fliers," he said. "It's the quiet guys in the back of the room who are frustrated and try to take action."
This seems like a fair assessment to me. Hopefully this crowd won't go off the deep end and decide that everyone from Georgia is a potential terrorist or traitor.

The article fails to mention Planned Parenthood - - a hate group that has certainly attempted to use the tragedy to push its baby-hating agenda.

Many expected the Clinton administration to impose martial law.I'd forgotten about that! Was there any discussion here on FR after he didn't do it? I'll have to admit that while I'm not a tin-foil hat type, some of the Freepers here had me nervous about that one! LOL
To: Patria One
Nonsense. I don't think this article was evenhanded at all. There are fruitcakes on both sides of the spectrum who are using Sept. 11th to push their agendas. To address only the side you don't like is hardly fair and balanced journalism. How about the "pro-choice" crowed using their annual anthrax hoax letters to tie the right to terrorism? Now theres your worthy (not) agenda....

Other groups in Georgia include three chapters of the Council of Conservative Citizens, three different black separatist groups, the National Alliance and a skinhead group called Hammerskin Nation.

Whoops, I missed that....thanks. Still, why no mention of NOI - probably the largest of the racist groups in America today.
To: Clara Lou
.....according to the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery.....Certainly not an unbiased source.

I think the article would on the whole have been more balanced were it to include some of the comments from black racist groups and extremists on that side who also gloat over what happened on 11 September.
Still, having said that, it makes me feel proud to see all of the Freepers here signing on and so totally and strongly condemning the position of the American Nazis and some of the milita groups for their glee over the terrorist attack on America.
I think it is great Freepers come to the defense of the Republic and soundly smack down the traitorous whackos (as the media would say, "on the far right") who also hate this country and have a low regard for freedom and the American way of life!
Thanks Freepers!!!

Why are the radical ADL and SPLC cited as legitimate sources? Anyone who disagrees with them on any issue is a "hate group" in their eyes.
To: vmatt; anniegetyourgun
They wouldn't identify those black seperatist hate groups by name, probably for fear of being called racist (and the fact they support their agenda).

I see that we think alike (see my post #9). The SPLC certainly qualifies as an extremist group.

The article has the aroma of a fund raising letter for the SPLC and ADL, hardly, in my opinion, credible sources.

Hullo, guys.... well, SPLC seems mostly to be about scaring its members into giving them more money- that, and slandering many groups who they seem to merely disagree with....
I got over 150 returns just searching Free Republic for their name!
