Return of the Militias...

[FOTD]

or terrorists....amazing country we live in. What a viscous circus.

"They're back. Almost a decade after largely disappearing from public view, right-wing militias, ideologically driven tax defiers and sovereign citizens are appearing in large numbers around the country. "Paper terrorism" — the use of property liens and citizens' "courts" to harass enemies — is on the rise. And once-popular militia conspiracy theories are making the rounds again, this time accompanied by nativist theories about secret Mexican plans to "reconquer" the American Southwest. One law enforcement agency has found 50 new militia training groups — one of them made up of present and former police officers and soldiers. Authorities around the country are reporting a worrying uptick in Patriot activities and propaganda. "This is the most significant growth we've seen in 10 to 12 years," says one. "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."

Just wondering if our leadership will speak out against this expansion of domestic terrorism.

The Busheviks are returning in combat regalia.

The more you read from / about the Southern Poverty Law Center the more you take their press releases with a big grain of salt.

Yeah, didn't you know that you have to go to Fox News to get the REAL story?

We'll just ignore those "militias" that mercilessly targeted Sarah Palin by "paper terrorism" in the form of numerous stupid ethics complaints that personally cost her hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend. Yep, them darned Busheviks were probably responsible.

Yep. Here is an interesting article about Morris Dees, the "Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker" of the civil rights movement:

WOWEEEE!!!! GREAT LINK OF LIES!

Teaching Tolerance is an outstanding program. Dees is a hero to those who stand up to hate.

Obviously, Gweedo is a big hater.

Gwee, post some more links. It helps shine the light on hate. Keep up the bad fight.

Have you ever met Dees or dealt with the SPCC? If not, then shut the hell up. I have and I know what I am talking about.

I tried to find a reference for a liberal militia, Guido, but came up empty.  Which of them called for overthrowing the government after the 2004 election?  Who among them showed up at one of President Bush's press conferences with an assault rifle?

Only met Dees two times...and have been a life long enabler* of SPLC....

So, that gives me the right to smoke you out.

And vice versa. Curious how you used the word "enabler" rather than supporter.

Enabler: one that enables another to achieve an end; especially : one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior (as substance abuse) by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior

Having family who were the original sponsors and supporters, yes: one that helps to achieve an end.

Everyone should send money to Morris Dees to stop intolerance and cease the un American action of Guido and his ilk who sponsor domestic terrorism be it through money support or just plain enabling through the spread of hate on the internets.
