KALISPELL, Mont. – With its jagged peaks, glistening lakes and lush valleys, the Inland Northwest — stretching from eastern Washington to Montana's Glacier National Park — is a stunningly beautiful and remote part of the country.
It also is a cradle for sometimes-violent anti-government activity — a reputation most recently rekindled by the search for David Burgert. The former Kalispell militia leader is accused of opening fire on sheriff's deputies on a remote logging road in Lolo National Forest.
After a lull following the demise of the Idaho-based neo-Nazi Aryan Nations in 2000, anti-government and white supremacist groups and individuals may be reviving in the Inland Northwest. It's a mostly white, mostly rural area with few job opportunities and a history of extreme activists.
Experts say the number of radical right groups is growing across the country because of the poor state of the economy, rising immigration and fears that President Barack Obama's administration has an agenda to curtail individual liberties.

Just remember, if you believe that a government entity should be restrained by its Constitution you're a member of a radical right group.
The DHS told me so.
Would the Napolitanos of the world argue now that profiling is alright in these cases?
What about the left wing extemists in the Northwest? You know,the anarchist crowd? I guess they aren’t extremists in this guy’s eyes.
Ping.
Pffttt!!
AP=All Pravda/BS.
this is a prime example of pathetic Yellow Journalism. The author uses two examples of violent nazi criminals, and attempts to link then to the “right wing” constitutionalists in spite of the fact that the nazi agenda is leftist socialist tyrany....
Yep, the DOJ is in big do-do over F&F. Out comes the boogie man stories. This is news, not the wilding gangs of the Democrat voting inner city.
Jihadists don’t count. Nooooosireeeeee. Nothing to see here.
Little Mark Potok is probably licking the envelopes as I write this.
Radical "right wing" marxists maybe, like the Nazis. Just a bunch of whacked out control freaks.
I've got a feeling the "experts" are left-wing propagandists too.
They are probably talking about J.W., Rawles’, of survivalblog.com, concept of the “American Redoubt”. Chuck Baldwin has recently moved his ministry and his family to Kalispell, MT , also and buys into the concept.

Perfect place for them. Left Coast KuKu’s will blend right in and roll over for them.
Heck the whole west coast is full of liberal extremists.
If Jihadists counted, the blame for their acts would be called man-caused disasters. If they didn't catch it before it happened, or if citizens stopped it before government, it'd be because "the system didn't work." Feeling more secure?
Obama's Homeland Security: Blame guns for Fort Hood, not Islamic Extremism
Napolitano called to apologize for report on 'extremists'
The intelligence assessment from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warns, among other things, that "disgruntled" military veterans, as well as people who oppose abortion and illegal immigration pose a potential threat of domestic terrorism (see earlier story).
The SPLC has never stopped sending out its hate mail.
Funny that we used to have some FR posters who tried using SPLC propaganda to attack anyone who wanted illegal immigration stopped. I think this may be the blog of one of them:

There were stories like these in the '60s. The Oregon forests were supposedly favored hideouts for potentially violent groups of the left and right.
Who are Montana’s Senators?
