Remember my jokes about hitting right wingers with the USAPATRIOT Act and all that BS?

Well, it turns out we may actually need to.

Right-wing extremists face extra scrutiny

By Ben Conery (Contact) | Thursday, June 11, 2009

Even before Wednesday's fatal shooting of a security guard purportedly by a white supremacist at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, right-wing extremists have come under increased scrutiny.

In April, the Department of Homeland Security came under fire for a report that warned of disgruntled war veterans getting involved with radical right-wing groups, and in 2006, the Anti-Defamation League reported an increase in racist skinhead groups. Earlier this year, the Southern Poverty Law Center indicated a 54 percent increase in so-called "hate groups" from 2000 to 2008.

The opinions of several experts contacted by The Washington Times on Wednesday differed when it came to questions about whether membership in such groups are increasing. But all agreed they present a serious threat.

"I am more concerned with the threat from the Christian-identity groups than the homegrown Islamic terrorists," said Maria Haberfeld, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "It's a disaster waiting to happen. The fact that this guy did what he did may be symptomatic of things to come."

I'm a 11th or 12th generation Southerner, too. And we're all of us a little religious and a little crazy.

And judging by all the confederate flags you guys fly, still smarting from the ass kicking y'all got in the Civil War.

Let's face it. Hate groups and extremists of any kind should be scrutinized. So far, the home-grown Islamic terrorists have shown themselves to be hopelessly inept, almost comical. Maybe it is that extremists and fanatics of any kind are just naturally stupid.

With the exception of the Muslim extremists attacking the World Trade Centers twice, the home grown white supremacist groups have ruled the roost as far as kill rate is concerned. You usually hear about them after they've done their damage.

Prior to 9/11, Timothy McVeigh had the dubious honor of top kill.

Those who attacked the WTC were not home grown. Most of them were here under student visas or things like that, and they were directed by foreignors. I am referring to those who plotted against the Sears Tower in Chicago and that military base in Delaware (?) and some others I have read about and heard about. They were home grown, but they certainly seemed inept.

Left wing terrorists, such as The Weather Underground and the SLA have done a lot of damage too, but not for quite a while. Of course, McVeigh was from about fifteen years ago.

Never said they were. I said the white supremacists were.

Yeah, those were inept.
I was comparing them to the white supremacist groups whose plans usually aren't that grandiose, but which end in someone dying.

Yeah, McVeigh was so 1990s. Best to talk chiefly about the guys blowing up abortion clinics, shooting abortion doctors dead, shooting Museum guards, some dude killing 2 cops because he was mad about Obama stealing his guns (IIRC), etc. These home grown, or more specifically lone wolf terrorists, are nickle and diming us to death. Literally.

The best place to buy Confederate flags is from the US Department of the Interior. They sell them at their historic sites.
