Though certainly not all criticism of the Obama admn. is racist or neo-nazi in origin, a percentage is. The highly respected Southern Poverty Law Center has been tracking hate groups for many years and they say hate group membership rose 53% since Obama was elected. The "militias" that gave us Tim McVeigh are also on the rise. William F. Buckley accepted the John Birchers for a while knowing they were kooks, yet eventually denounced them as he realized they discredited conservatism with their idiocy. We all know there are conservatives out there who are not kooks. Where are their voices? Why, instead of denying the legitimacy of these morons are they given microphones? Does political gamesmanship matter more than a shred of integrity? Or do the majority on the right feel an allegiance covertly with these people?

How quickly one goes from waving flags and suggesting those critical of Bush's Iraq debacle are traitors to Anti-government rhetoric combined with blatant white supremacy.
Allow me to re-iterate I do not accuse all critics of Obama or progressives of racism. But I will accuse those who defend them or indeed aid them by allowing them among their ranks. -

I recommend clicking on the hate group map. Check out your home state. I bet it's an eye opener for most of us...

Again I come from the point of view that most people are good not evil. Individually we generally treat each other with a degree of respect...in groups however...not so much. -

I live in the State of Georgia and three hate groups are identified from my city. But two are actually the same group of Black Separatists, the Nuwaubians, which are no longer a viable group due to their leader's incarceration for child molestation. The other is a white supremacist Neo-Confederate hate group. But the rest of the state has 37 other white supremacists, anti-gays, and Christian hate groups. Other than the defunct Nuwaubians, there are no other Black Supremacists or Separatists in my state.

FTA- Cowart was introduced to Schlesselman through a friend when he was trying to sell a rifle. "Our convo's [conversations] quickly came to talking about general racist stuff," Schlesselman stated. "As our trust grew we talked about more extremist type things like killing people. I talk about this **** all the time but talken [sic] to daniel [sic] it seemed like we could do it."

The two cruised around Bells, Ark., for a couple of days, plotting gun store robberies, chalking swastikas and other hate symbols onto Cowart's car, and shooting out the window of a black church. Gradually, their elaborate plot took shape. "Our intentions were to go from state to state on a killing spree and robbery," Cowart wrote. "Paul had mentioned killing a total of 88 people and beheading 14 of them. The final thing we had discussed was dressing in white tuxs [tuxedos] with a top hat and trying to assassinate Obama. We did not plan on living past that day. One day, while riding in my car, Paul told me that he wanted to go to a predominately [predominantly] black school and kill as many as he could." (The number 88 is neo-Nazi code for "Heil Hitler," and 14 refers to the "14 words," a white nationalist catchphrase coined by the late domestic terrorist David Lane.)
Cowart and Schlesselman were arrested after a friend of theirs informed the Secret Service of their intentions.
Unfortunately, nothing like that happened to avert a mass killing plot carried out last July by unemployed truck driver Jim David Adkisson, who opened fire in a Unitarian church in Knoxville, Tenn., because, he said, it harbored gays and multiracial families. Armed with a shotgun, Adkisson killed two people and seriously wounded six before being tackled and held for police.
In March, law enforcement authorities released a suicide note that Adkisson, whose lawyer recently announced plans to enter a guilty plea, left in his car outside the church. In it, he describes the attack as "a hate crime," "a political protest" and "a symbolic killing."
"I'd like to encourage other like-minded people to do what I've done," he concluded. "If life ain't worth living anymore don't just kill yourself. Do something for your country before you go. Go kill liberals." -

The left , like this writter, continue to push that all people that oppose Obama's take over of this country are racist or terrotrist. No one is allowed to question him, or your labeled. This writter wanted to help this country, why dosn't he question why the border is still open and border patrol being pulled from it. Why after catching 3 known terrorists and over 500 from countries that don't like us. How many others got into the U.S. The left has a history of violance, not the right. Look at townhall meetings, only people arrested were liberals.
