CNN's 'Expert on Extremism': 'Radical Right' Bigger Threat Than Jihadis

Mark Potok of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center claimed on Monday's Newsroom on CNN that radical Islam wasn't "our biggest domestic terror threat," that instead, "that pretty clearly comes from the radical right in this country." Anchor Suzanne Malveaux touted Potok as "expert on extremism" from "one of the most highly regarded non-governmental operations that are monitoring hate groups."
Malveaux brought on the SPLC spokesman at the bottom of the 12 noon Eastern hour to discuss the upcoming hearings by the House Homeland Security Committee on the radicalization of American Muslims. The anchor first asked him, "From your study of tracking radical groups, potentially hate groups, what do you think of this hearing? Is al Qaeda radicalizing Muslims? Is that our biggest homegrown terrorism threat right now?"
Potok replied with his "radical right" claim, and went on to criticize the chairman of the House committee, Rep. Peter King:
POTOK: Well, I think it's not our biggest domestic terror threat. I think that pretty clearly comes from the radical right in this country, although I would certainly not minimize the threat of jihadist terrorism in this country. Obviously, we have seen a fair amount of it. But what is completely false is, first of all, the idea that Peter King has repeatedly said, that most Muslims are good Americans and so on. You know, in fact what he has said is that 85 percent or 90 percent of the imams running mosques in this country are radical. They're jihadists, and everything suggests that what he says is false.

ok, the Radical Right is more of threat to you commie b#stards!
yea!
Potok + Southern Poverty Law Center = a pathetic farce. =.=
Lib/leftists have had an insane hatred for the right for as long as I’ve been reading about them, over fifty years. Yes, Mrs. Jones down the street tending her garden (or shoveling snow at this time) who lives in a modest house in a small town and worries about big government is certainly a much bigger threat to this country than some kill-crazy Jihadis. That’s the level of “reason” and “logic” displayed by nuts like Potok. These are the same people who always overlook the fact that Oswald was a communist. They just can’t bear to look at the darkness inside their own souls.
Well, for those like Mr Potok, the tea party is a bigger threat to the lies and exaggerations they spew. The muslim terrorists love idiots like this and the feeling is mutual.
The tea party is the anti-commie antidote to liberal socialism.
There is a whole and rapidly-growing kind of sub movement called the 'sovereign citizens' movement.' .... on May 20 of last year, a father and son team of these 'sovereign citizens,' in fact, murdered two officers, police officers, ...
And mr communist, how many FELONS - Blacks and Illegals - have done EXACTLY the same thing at traffic stops?
Just last fall, Two Chicago LEOS(1) were shot and KILLED EXECUTION style, in broad daylight, by a Black FELON out on parole.
What 'extremist movement' are these people in? The KILL COPS movement?
(1) One was a Chicago Cop dusting a garage for prints after a break-in. The other 'LEO' was the property owner who was an ex-CHA Police officer. Both were armed and never had a chance to draw their weapons.
“Another POS from a collective with an agenda given amplification by a POS collective with an agenda.”

If we had an educated populace, that would make one hell of a bumper sticker.
wow....
