One would think that the 2008 election put a fire under both Republicans and Democrats, but it has also ignited this....

I'm sure the Statists would love to marginalize these folks, then place them in work camps to be re-educated.

I'll admit to not knowing the extent of this problem, but a couple of quotes make me wonder if there's an agenda behind this story.

1. "Some of the roughly 50 attendees at the Arkansas lovefest..."

50 idiots gather in the darkness and it's a disturbing trend, but the tea parties were a failure with weak turnout?

2. "But it's fair to say that in the Age of Obama, there's growing concern. This spring, the Southern Poverty Law Center released its annual "Year in Hate" report, which outlines that in 2008 the number of hate groups rose to 926, up 4 percent from 2007, and 54 percent since 2000."

I'm not sure that's really fair to say. It looks like most of the growth was between 2000 and 2007, so why is this to be considered a response to Obama?
