IS the radical right wing becoming more than just annoying, to the point of being DANGEROUS? And if so, what precautions should everyone else take not to be victimized or intimidated by such people?
All i see is personal opinion and a biased rhetoric, it might play well with the crowd that has never liked the folks on the right, and the crowd that has always thought the Christians were teetering on the edge of a full out murderous rampage, in the name of Jesus of course.
0bama's radical politics and ideology, not his skin color, are drawing heavy fire. 0bama has been populating his administration with far left-wing radicals, self-admitted communists, and they pushing an authoritarian statest agenda. So the people who appreciate the freedoms and liberties guaranteed by our constitution, 0bama's policy decisions and agenda are at complete odds with them.
These groups work under the table in a more subtle manner, so as to make like they're not doing anything at all.
Spoken like a true paranoid.
"See that!!! The Christians aren't publicly threatening anyone, not doing anything. They just go to church, smile and then greet people all day!! IT'S EVEN WORSE THEN I THOUGHT.... THE JESUS REVOLUTION IS COMING.... RUN...RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

Looking at the boards here (and for the last several months), 1 in every 4 threads seem to be asking or presenting some 'anti black' or 'anti-immigrant/anti mexican question (ex-what do you think of the bell curve...are blacks bad tippers...why black parents are inferior...why you shouldnt support interracial marriage..) OR anti-obama comments (do you regret voting for obama....obamas taxing me...obama wants illegals to take over..etc).
The trend is not limited to this forum. Its all over the internet. When Obama was elected, White Nationalist sites were shut down with people seeking to join. There have been more threats to this president than to any since Kennedy. Pro-Christian advocates, Extremists and Conservatives are on TV every day asking america to revolt, to 'lone wolf', and every month there are new arrests for some extremists trying.
Things are changing, and the 'old guard' does not like that. Black president, hispanic female supreme court member, growing Hispanic population, rising black middle class, increasing in pro-white hate crimes, increasing in interracial marriages...all things which the radical right abhors. And you dont have to look on this sites posts to be able to tell.
If this were 3 years ago, and we were all talking about the crazy left making threats against people, bringing guns to rallies, attacking demographics who didnt agree with them and essentially flooding the airwaves with reasons why everyone else should hate the other side and all groups affiliated with them, I would be first in line making this same comment. We all remember the anti-bush whacky antics from the left, but for whatever reason, they did not seem as violent and aggressive as they are here. Annoying, yes, but no one was advocating assassinations, killing droves of nonwhites or jews or muslims, or touting racial superiority on a daily basis, and somehow tying that claim to 'capitolism' (which makes no sense whatsoever).
Now, we all know about trolls. Its HIGHLY likely that at least a few of the 'hate-flooders' online are actually the same person with different handles. Such is the price of having free registration. But the underlying theme shows a trend.

I think it's definitely larger because of the internet -- also lately, encouraged by go-ahead signals, real or imagined, from some nodes of mass media. Before, these people had to be furtive.
Consider that 80% of these threads and posts are made by left leaning closet skulking race baiters trying to create racial unrest where none exists and you have the real threat.
