Right-Wing Criminals: Active Hate and Extremist Groups in The United States

Dear Friend,

Today, we’re releasing our annual report on the number of active hate and extremist groups in our nation. The figures are alarming, and I’m deeply worried about what this means for our country.

This sign was photographed at a recent demonstration in Washington D.C.This sign was photographed at a recent demonstration in Washington D.C.

We’ve documented a 244 percent increase in the number of conspiracy–minded, anti–government “Patriot” groups in a single year. Militias — the paramilitary arm of the “Patriot” movement — were a major part of the increase. Like other extremists, “Patriot” groups have been fueled by anger over immigration, the troubled economy and an array of initiatives by President Obama.

This extraordinary growth is cause for real concern. During its 1990s heyday, the “Patriot” movement produced an enormous amount of violence, most dramatically the Oklahoma City bombing that left 168 people dead.

Racist hate groups are at record levels — rising from 926 in 2008 to 932 in 2009. The increase caps a decade in which the number of neo–Nazi, racist skinhead and other hate groups surged by more than 50 percent. We’ve also seen a sharp increase in “nativist extremist” groups — vigilante organizations that actually confront or harass suspected immigrants.

These three strands of the radical right — the hate groups, the “nativist extremist” groups, and the “Patriot” organizations — are the most volatile elements on the American political landscape. Taken together, their numbers increased by more than 40 percent, rising from 1,248 groups to 1,753.

There are already signs of a resurgence of radical–right violence like the kind we witnessed in the 1990s. Right–wing extremists have murdered six law enforcement officers since Obama’s inauguration. Racist skinheads and others have been arrested in alleged plots to assassinate the president. Most recently, a number of individuals with antigovernment, survivalist or racist views have been arrested in a series of bomb cases. And, tragically, a man furious with the government crashed his plane into an IRS building.

With your help, we’ll continue to track and expose these groups’ activities and provide law enforcement with the information they need to keep our communities safe. Thank you, once again, for your commitment to stand with us as we fight the hate that threatens to divide us.

Sincerely,


   Morris Dees

Rush ‘N Me

Tags: , , , , , , , ,


   Columnist – John Sammon
Columnist - John Sammon. Click to view larger picture.“The Negra,” Rush tells me, “is like a fine tobacco plant. It must be cultivated.”

My name is Billy Bo Ray Bob Lee Harvey. Me and Rush is-a-settin’ here a restin’ our feet in the Mississippi mud, talkin’ bout Negras.

It’s clear that Rush and me don’t like Negras, and we wish misery on ‘em.

Rush sings a little joking song fer’ me. “Da’ sun come up. Da’ moon go down, darkies are dancin’ all around.”

It’s pretty clear that Rush don’t like Negras. He takes out a Bible and points to a passage where it says God created Negras to serve their white masters.

And then them Yankees come down here and changed it all so’s white people of distintion like us could no-more take-a whip to ‘em. Or place a-iron collar around their neck and then wup’ ‘em good like they deserve.

Rush and me, wez just good ole’ boys.

Them damn Yankees. They launched that war-a-there’n cause they jus’ wanted to take away our rites. Ever since they-done gotten their freedom, them blacks been uppity. Jus’ cause ‘dey can run and jump dey git in sports and make a lot of money and act big for their britches. Rush tells me it’s all political. Dat’s why we done joined dat group the Soldiers of the Burnin’ Cross, to defnd da’ rites of the white folks before them darkies take over.

We dun’ swore on a Bible to fight agin’ ‘em them communistic socialistic preverts who ere tryin’ to take over and take away our rites.

Rush and me. Weez real Americans.

If God didn’t want us to rule over Negras, he wouldn’t have made ‘em and brought ‘em here for us to boss. Jus’ the othern day when they had that big earthquake over in dat island, we both said “it’s God’s will. He’s gettin’ even for ‘em being so uppity. Serves ‘em rite.” We couldn’t believe that a darkie could become president and would be given our money to ‘em. Didn’t dat’ beat all.

A darkie president?

And now he’s a-suckin’ up to ‘em tryin’ to win their favor. But it won’t do ‘em any good. We can see through ‘em. Rush told me howz you can judge a buck (male African American). You look at the rolls of hair on da’ back of da’ head. One roll, not so good. Two rolls is better. Three rolls, you got yourself a boy. A three-roller. One that can pull a plow.

Me and Rush. We ain’t goin’ nowhere. We’re here to stay.

We’re white and we’ll fight, and so help me God.

2009: Year of Republican Hate, Lies and Deceit

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,


“….The amount of hate and lies and the deceitfulness.” “I don’t believe that should be the characteristics that define the Republican Party. I think people should be allowed to have discussions and reasonable disagreements. But this was a full frontal assault on me personally and politically, for weeks.” — Dede Scozzafava [ Moderate Republican ]

The EVIL RePUBLICan OPTION in Healthcare Reform: An Orgy of Bigotry, Racism, Anti-Semitism and Hate

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Fox News and other right-wing media outlets called the Nut-Bag march on the Capitol “organic” and “spontaneous.” I don’t know about “spontaneous,” but it sure stank “in-organically” of evil, racism, anti-semitism and hate.

The delusion of the right is a “hate comedy,” packed with childish and absurd stunts of “scum-baggery” and political gerrymandering. While FAT Dick Morris is using the confusion to stuff his pockets, Michelle Malkin, the filthy Dog-Eating Auntie-Tom Filipino, is, as usual, using the opportunity to smear everything Obama.

Texas Fools: Hateful Republican Rhetoric is at a Fever Pitch in America; Twisting Pelosi’s Genuine Concerns

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Mediamatters: Media figures including Candy Crowley, Carl Cameron, Brian Kilmeade, and Gretchen Carlson have mischaracterized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments that recent “anti-government rhetoric” reminded her of “the late ’70s in San Francisco” when “it created a climate in which violence took place,” to claim that she was criticizing opponents of health care reform. In fact, Pelosi was directly responding to a question not about health care reform, but one that explicitly noted “people talking about anti-government rhetoric and so on and the possibility of violence.” [ READ MORE ]
