SPLC alarm: 'Militiamen, white supremacists, anti-Semites, nativists, tax protesters coalescing'
A private activist organization apparently is picking up where the federal government left off when the Department of Homeland Security issued its "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" warning that returning veterans and people in a long list of other categories were potential terrorists.
Only the new warning, delivered recently to police officers, sheriffs and other law enforcement personnel across the country, is lumping those dedicated to the constitutional principles on which the nation was founded together with crazed killers.
The fall 2009 "Intelligence Report" was issued recently by the Southern Poverty Law Center, where officials confirmed to WND it was published specifically for and delivered to law enforcement personnel across the nation. The SPLC did not respond to a WND request for other comment
But the article groups members of various organizations such as Oathkeepers whose mainly military and law enforcement members pledge to uphold their constitutional duties, including the duty to question and refuse what appear to be illegitimate orders with a man "said to be interested in joining a militia" who is accused of killing two deputies in Florida.
"The situation has many authorities worried," the report to police officers says. "Militiamen, white supremacists, anti-Semites, nativists, tax protesters and a range of other activists of the radical right are cross-pollinating and may even be coalescing."
Garbage, says a supporter of the individual rights of gun ownership contained in the Second Amendment.
Mike Vanderboegh is with the Sipsey Street Irregulars, who describe themselves as among the 3 percent as in: "During the American revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3 percent of the colonists."

Once the communists and their fellow travelers who are ruling this nation consolidate their power those who whine about ecology and making certain animals have attorneys will be eliminated. But then so will we!
The left is giving us a peek about how they view the world, that’s all.
The problem for the left is severe, though. On their side, they have the media, federal bureaucrats, academics, and the lawyers. On our side, we have the military and police, many states, the churches, and the people.
Guess which side is better armed? That’s why the left has had to be incremental in its movements, like a person tip-toeing past a sleeping bear.
If it came down to a fight, the left would fold like a deck of cards, and they know it. Their only real hope is creating a sense of despair among most Americans, and trying to institute change through institutions of culture, like the media and the schools. Both strategies are not without their flaws, either - homeschoolers and those who think can run circles around leftist propoganda.
Including this leftist propoganda, too. Metaphorically give the left the finger and do it with a smile and gleam in your eye, as if to say, “Yeah, I do own guns. Lots of them. And I’m willing to defend my liberty. Got a problem with that?”
Woody Harrelson would soil his nappies.
Nativists? You mean the redski...errr...indians are on our side?

“Southern Poverty Law Center”
They are nothing but a bunch of Idiots, like the idiots that are running (”ruining”) things in DC.
They're 'Native Americans' and we're just interlopers.
(( ping ))
I am reassured that the Lefties are “afraid” of US. US armed civilian citizens.
Cannot imagine any reason they have given us to provoke a response. /sarcasm
Left-wing anarchists just went on a rampage in Philly and they are worried about supposed “right-wing” violence?
Did someone warn Pittsburgh about left-wing terrorists?
You're right, except in place of lawyers, I would make that pretty much the whole judicial system. You could also in Hollywood in that group.
"Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"
I think they're right. I put stock in the "current political climate" - mainly the surge towards anti-American Socialism, Fascism, and not to put too nice a face on it, communism. Not only is that fueling a lot of activism, it {expletive}-well should get people off their backsides and actively opposing obama, pelosi, and their minions. What they are doing and trying to do to this Country is anathema to conservatives, moderates, and no-doubt would be to the founding fathers and everyone who has fought and died to protect this Country.
"The situation has many authorities worried," the report to police officers says. "Militiamen, white supremacists, anti-Semites, nativists, tax protesters and a range of other activists of the radical right are cross-pollinating and may even be coalescing."
And if they do anything to attempt to quell, stifle, or prevent our political free-speech and right to assemble they will simply confirm our worst socialist/fascist fears about obama and his cohorts. Every warning like this simply makes it that much easier to cast the current administration as oppressive and anti-American.
No problem with that group. They are unarmed.
Molon labe.
I think that it is important to talk to our uniformed officers of the law and see where they actually are in respect to steam rolling over our constitutional rights. They need to understand that violating the foundations of our Republic puts them on the side of tyranny, and, while they may enjoy a slight advantage over the population in the first stages of the coming revolt, they will be tried as criminals when we prevail; which we will.
Note to self:
Order more ammo
Amen to the trials!
Oh sure. They're all on our side.

i wonder if the white house will demand these groups not send out this type of information... like they did to humana
This has been going on for years. The federal Gov has been giving training on “terrorism” to its many agencies for more than a decade, and the content of the “training” focuses entirely on supposed threats from the right. Add to that the warnings put out by the SPLC, which overwhelmingly cite threats from only the right, and the flavor of the hysteria comes through loud and clear.
The problem is that the cops and agents are a captive audience; one could only hope that once in a while, an observant cop might ask the question about the training’s motivation.
I've copied an excerpt from "Secret Freedom Fighter", you need to get a copy. "Life is not worth much if you're not free--and worth nothing at all if you're dead. Freedom can be stolen from you at any time. Be prepared. Find out how every citizen can maximize his own freedom while minimizing the risks by being a secret freedom fighter. A totalitarian state is what we might get after the collapse of society, economic disaster or natural cataclysm. And then we'll have to fight for our freedom as well as for survival. If you want to be a secret freedom fighter, you won't join any protest groups, stand on street corners making speeches, or run with a mob that throws rocks at cops. The secret freedom fighter must fight alone. The secret freedom fighter has to be the invisible man, always working in secret. Because he is one man working alone, he doesn't have to do as much damage in a single operation as a guerrilla force would to justify the risk. And he doesn't have to worry that someone will betray him and turn him in to the authorities. With years of experience in governmental, religious and freelance assignments around the world, the author has learned how unfree governments work and where they are most vulnerable to attack by an individual acting on his own. He tells which targets are fair game--and which aren't--choosing weapons and methods, lethal and non lethal tactics, working within your own limitations to wreak havoc on morale and government operations, and much more.

Just to put this all in focus the SPLC listed Free Republic.com as among the hate group web sites in the Spring 2009 issue of their magazine dedicated to hate groups, (Skin Heads, Neo-Nazis, KKK, Militias, Border Watch Groups, Minute Men, TEA Partyiers, etc.)
