Some states are worse than others when it comes to hate groups. Using data from the Southern Poverty Law Center, 24/7 Wall St. has compiled a list of the 10 states with the most such groups. Idaho ends up first in the unwanted category, at least on a per-capita basis. The 10:

From what I read over the past few minutes they consider anyone that goes against what they think is a hate group. Sounds like their list of states is like a "Burn Book".

These people literally think that disagreeing with any Leftist social policy constitutes "hate".

One of the issues in America is that the large liberal cities seem to get a pass regardless of their reputation, just because they are "blue". It's brushed under the rug.



Portland's liberal image tempered by history as 'Skinhead City'

In Idaho, a 'group' is two people. Some of those hate groups are only one person, presenting themself as if they were a group.

One such group was outed here in my hometown about 15 years ago. They had spread Nazi flyers on windshields all over town, and had called a local news talk show frequently, always presenting themselves as a big, powerful group.
When tracked down, it was a welfare bum and his wife. Both were meth heads. The guy went up the river to do a stretch, and his wife jumped bail, and was last seen in Utah, headed east.

That's the way it is with these people. The guy must be out of the joint by now, and he sure never came here again, but he still counts on the SPLC list.

I have no problems with that; being on the list is a warning to future Nazis not to show up here because they will be watched if they come. The Aryan Nations is still on their list, too, and they were completely driven out and their compound leveled 20 years ago.

Being on the list, in my opinion, keeps keep the trash out pretty well. it's the places that aren't on the list that are going to be new targets.

Consider Leith, North Dakota. It never had a Nazi problem until it did. That the little town only had 24 residents left in it, with lots of cheap empty houses. They made Leith a tasty target.

When neo-Nazi Craig Cobb moved in, he planned to take over the entire town, but things didn't work out as planned for Cobb. He ended up going to jail, and has to wear a tracker anklet for the rest of his life.

He's long gone, but Leith is still on that map.

Very interesting.


Interesting that so many are southern states.


Interesting that none of the are states associated with a lot of culture (like Massachusetts).


Wonder how they correlate with education levels.

By "culture" are you talking about people that walk around with their nose stuck up in the air thinking their poo doesn't stink? Ain't nobody equates cultured people with being intelligent.
