quote: US facing surge in rightwing extremists and militias The US is facing a surge in anti-government extremist groups and armed militias, driven by deepening hostility on the right to Barack Obama, anger over the economy, and the increasing propagation of conspiracy theories by parts of the mass media such as Fox News. The Southern Poverty Law Centre, the US's most prominent civil rights group focused on hate organisations, said in a report that extremist "patriot" groups "came roaring back to life" last year as their number jumped nearly 250% to more than 500 with deepening ties to conservative mainstream politics. quote: The Tea Parties and similar groups that have sprung up in recent months cannot fairly be considered extremist groups, but they are shot through with rich veins of radical ideas, conspiracy theories and racism," the report says. Full story I do believe that they are talking about groups that some people on these boards actively support.

Yeah it's really kind of creepy. I wouldn't want to move back to the US right now.

I guess they might not be happy with the direction that this country is headed. I would consider the sources of the liberal news organizations reporting these so called facts before getting all worked up though..

No that was propaganda. Spin. SPIN. There IS outrage. But I assure you- it is NOT exclusive to the right.

No bias in the BBC ?

Wouldn't the ballot box be the correct place to exercise their right to "correct" that perceived problem?

Servant weren't you one of those who,prior to the last Presidential election, were positive McCain would be flying around in Air Force One these days?

servantforuse -> RE: US facing surge in rightwing extremists and militias (4/6/2010 7:54:37 PM)
Yup, Things have changed. For one, minorities will not turn out to vote when their leader isn't on the ballot.

Just a point of political fact for those who may not realize the truth... The ideologies associated with the far right are fascism, Nazism, racial supremacists (especially neo-fascists and neo-Nazis group), religious extremists, and other ultra-nationalist or reactionary ideologies and movements. The terms are often used to imply that someone is an extremist.
