Where's the hate? This group is listed 48 times in the SPLC report. The only thing I can find that MIGHT be called hate is their demand that immigration laws be enforced.
I am for easing restrictions/regulations on immigration. I would like to see them to change the laws, but then enforce them. The current situation, existing laws that turn millions into illegals but that are not enforced, just makes everything worse It may be the worst of both worlds. It creates second class citizens.
While I might not agree with their view, I am not sure I would go so far as calling them a hate group. The SPLC implies these people are hell bent on starting a race war and/or trying to overthrow the government. That's absurd.
What is the point of the report? Does the SPLC want these people thrown in jail? Do they want a new COINTELPRO? No they are simply trying to smear. The SPLC's report is nothing but fear mongering and an attempt to dehumanize people that disagree with the SPLC's views.
Sorry, but the old reverse accusation won't fly here. The group you spot here is just as phony as the teabaggers....because both "suddenly" are up in arms about policies that were enacted by the previous administration and implemented for 7 years. This "astro-turf" movement either directly or indirectly blames the year old Obama administration for all ills, yet the REFUSE to point the finger at the originator. If they were to blame Obama for CONTINUATION, they'd have a legit gripe....but that is NOT what they are wailing about.
Like the teabaggers, these groups and their rallies have no qualms with jokers running around with the veiled threat of "don't push us too far", speeches about the country's ideals under seige, socialist takeover, etc., etc...much of the mindset and innuendos found in many of the groups spotlighted by the SPLC.
Like I said before, they want to mouth the platitudes and then wash their hands when others take it to heart. TFB for them if the SPLC spotlight makes them squirm.
