Anti-government sentiments in the U.S. have reached levels so high they could result in another attack like the Oklahoma City bombing, according to a report released Tuesday by an organization that tracks right-wing extremists – and the authors of the report place part of the blame on Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.

In a statement to ABC News, Lou Dobbs hit back at the director of the group that prepared the report, calling him "paranoid."

So you admit the right wing extremists are crazy to begin with.

In the case of Lou Dobbs, it is the facts he presents that makes people crazy.

With Glenn Beck, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, it is their opinions and stupidity that drive people crazy.

And, what? No mention of Rush Limbaugh?

I can tell you how to stop them. Tell Obama to stop slamming through his agendas, keep his campaign promises and stop breaking each one he made to the public. Obama is the one who is giving his opponents a reason to talk about how he is messing up the country.

from the link:

"Taken together, these three radical strands -- antigovernment Patriot groups, nativist extremist groups and hate groups -- increased their numbers by approximately 40 percent in 2009, according to Potok.

Potok said one of the main fears is that these radical groups are infiltrating mainstream groups like the Tea Party movement because of cross pollination of individuals who attend radical group meetings and more mainstream gatherings."



The above quote is for you Janelle, looks like you missed it.

The SPLC listed the Constitution Party of Vermont as a right wing "extremist" group...when it's merely a conservative political party, one of many alternative parties that gets a handful of votes in Vermont. They were sued for libel successfully by a militia leader in Indiana when they lied about him and his group being racist.

The SPLC rakes in cash by drumming up paranoia. When they were fighting the KKK they had a decent goal, these days, they're just true leftist extremists attacking anyone they disagree with, with lies and smears.

Someone please help me here.

Did this activist group blame nasty nancy and Barak Obama for the crazy left win nutjobs that actually destroyed public property in Denver during the Republican convention a couple years ago?
