As U.S. officials scramble to suppress the pace of foreign fighters flocking to join extremists in Syria and Iraq, a national watchdog group is imploring the federal government not to overlook terrorist threats at home.
According to a study released Thursday by the Southern Poverty Law Center — a nonprofit organization that tracks hate activity — on average, a terrorist attack or foiled encounter took place every 34 days in the United States from April 1, 2009, through Feb. 1, 2015.
“We are not in any way trying to diminish the very real jihadist threat,” said Mark Potok, SLPC senior fellow and editor of the report. “But we have known since Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 people in Oklahoma City in 1995 that there is a very real and very substantial threat in terms of terrorism from our fellow Americans.”
The study, which included violence by people who identified with radical-right ideologies, as well as homegrown jihadists, identified 63 incidents — attacks, foiled plots and 14 unplanned situations, such as traffic stops, where extremists were confronted by police and reacted with major violence. In six years, 63 victims of terrorist attacks were killed, scores injured and 16 assailants died

The greatest terrorist threat to the Homeland
is by Obola the undocumented Indonesian Moslem.
SPLC just self projecting on their own kind...
Timothy McVeigh had MUSLIM ASSISTANCE in building that bomb!

A Minneapolis police officer was shot while he was in his vehicle. Any bets on whether or not this was the work of a right wing extremist? C’mon SPLC, what say you?
Southern Poverty Law Center Is a hate group.
The founder realized early on that he couldn’t make much more money defending white supremacists like he used to do so then he switched sides. His SPLC is worth hundreds of millions.
Southern Poverty Law Center hates Christians and good values.
If you start identifying groups like the SPLC and similar black grievance nurseries as domestic terrorists, the count goes even higher.
The part they're trying to keep quiet is most of the Lone Wolves are their subscribers.
Seems to me that there have been a LOT of lone wolf attacks recently. It’s called the “knock out” game.
SPLC is like the big bully that points his finger at his little brother when the cookies go missing from the cookie jar and his mother believes him despite the cookie crumbs on his lips...
As opposed, to say, young black youths confronted by police after they steal cigars and react peacefully.
The SPLC is a lying, leftist hate group.
They lie.
They lie.
And then they lie some more.
They will say ANYTHING to denigrate the Untied States and people who love the United States.
You did notice that the SPLC included two widely different groups to obtain their 63 incidents. I have to wonder what the incident count is for each sub-group - how many done by radical right ideology followers and how many by homegrown jihadists?
“According to a study released Thursday by the Southern Poverty Law Center — a nonprofit organization that tracks hate activity...”
Translation from Liberalese.
“According to yet another fabricated smear piece released Thursday by the Southern Poverty Law Center — a highly profitable fundraising front of ambulance chasing and attention seeking leftist revolutionaries relentlessly advancing their agenda of America loathing bile and hatred with the gleeful assistance of useful idiots in the media and other progressive fools.....that claim to track hate activity but actually just make things up to libel and slander mostly innocent people through the discredited application of guilt by association....well anyway, these pecker-less twits say that not only is the Easter Bunny a proven Christian fundamentalist dog whistle code for Jew killing Holocaust deniers BUT those same God fearing Constitution loving patriots that follow the Prince of Peace and George Washington are MORE dangerous than the death cultists that blew up the World Trade Centers and whittle peoples heads off with their Gerber tactical pocket folders and post it on the Youtube’s family photo section....well anyway....conservatives and Christians are always hate filled, racist haters, that are racist haters and hate filled and racist haters. Or so some allege.
Oh, by the way, let us add that that Ben Carson guy that is reported (by us really and no one else) to be stalking, beating, and some say eating homosexuals alive for perverse hate filled pleasure and inciting others to do likewise....well we have it on good authority that Ben Carson is NOT black, but is in fact a neoNAZI Klan Grand Dragon pretending to be black. We will release further unsubstantiated allegations and communist snuff fantasy wet dreams just as soon as we can make them up.
Please send us money.
I repeat - this is not just the SPLC. Not only does Yahoo publish a story, but taxpayer-funded NPR devotes almost all of this week’s “On the Media” show to it:

It was part of a suite of stories, including two on Chapel Hill killings and two on the semantics of what to call Islamic terror.
