Right Wing Foolishness is Growing


Department of Homeland Security reports that Right-wing extremist groups are using the recession and Obama's race to recruit new members to their stupid ass cause.

Since they believe that Obama caused all of this is just ridiculous. The people they supported, the people they rallied behind are the ones who caused this. This is what happens when you have no common sense of education to see the reality of things. It's truly disheartening.

CNN.com reports:

It cites proposed restrictions on weapons as likely to increase membership in extremist groups and expresses concern the groups might try to recruit veterans.

The report also cites concern about anti-Semitism, saying that some groups are blaming the loss of U.S. jobs and home foreclosures on "a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish 'financial elites' " in an attempt to recruit members.

The election of President Obama is cited as a key recruitment tool. "Many right-wing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearm ownership and use," the report said.

It said that twice in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, "extremists appeared to be in the early planning stages of some threatening activity targeting the Democratic nominee, but law enforcement interceded."

The report said that "lone wolves and small terrorist cells" represent the nation's biggest terrorist threat because their low profile makes it difficult to intervene before they act.

Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, agreed that Obama's election may have boosted membership in such groups, but called any link to the economy "more questionable."

He said his group has documented "a steady, not dramatic," growth of extremist groups -- from 602 in 2000 to 926 in 2008, an increase of more than 50 percent.

Though "there has been a lot of talk about the country being stolen," it is "a little early" to conclude that Obama's election has driven massive growth in such groups, he said.

"this country being stolen"...Please, it was stolen, f**ked up and broken by the very people they put in office. How dare they! How f**king dare they! Are they that dumb? I know I am being mean, but these folks are not true Americans. Help build this country up, not tear it down! These folks are like traitors. I hope they get caught and suffer. We don't have time for foolishness. Either you get on the 'Change' boat or drown.
