great post soldier. the most hate and intolerance in the country now comes from left wing enviro nuts, peta, and liberals. look at college campuses. they are quickly labeling and banning any speech that is conservative. and you are right about the southernpoverty law center, hardly an unbiased place to find hate groups.

Unfortunately hate isn't bounded by any party lines.

If you guys read the website, I believe it said a hate group was defined as a group dedicated to attack or malign a particular group with "immutable" traits (that would be race, gender, sexuality, etc.). You can change your political affiliation (although I wouldn't want to) or whether you eat meat or not. As much as I abhor NOW, I wouldn't really call them a hate group. They don't malign or attack men although some of their members are militant butch freaks (ick!), who happen to hate men. I really don't know what to call NOW except a "liberal, anti-baby bunch of freaky buzz-cut feminazis."

umm, a convenient liberal definition, lol!! many college campuses, and hs's are now banning any speech against a homosexual lifestyle, just an example. liberal hate is more broad, and thus less quantifiable. but i stand by my statement that the real hate and intolerance in this country lies in the leftist groups.

also, the kkk and neo-nazis have no input into policy decisions in this country. on the other hand, peta, enviros, and the aclu have major impacts on our daily lives
p.s.-of course there are the idiotic neo-nazis, and kkk, but i dont know of 2 groups where hate resides more than in peta and the enviro nuts. plus, the enviro's have shown they are quite willing to engage in terrorism.

And since when was the Klan classified as "conservative?" I thought we discussed this once before. Klansmen tend to be southern Dems, right? From what I saw in KY, it was a majority of KKKers who were. It was Dems who stood outside schools to stop desegregation. And it was Dem plantation owners (read that twice and tell me it doesn't sound "Suth'un" :) ) who fought to keep slavery and fought to keep word of the Emancipation Proclamation from reaching Galveston until June 19th.

Oh

Oh yeah, and I guess they consider themselves Christian because they "illuminate crosses" (as they call it).


The KKK think they are 'Christians' because they burn crosses...I don't know who they think they are 'glorifying' by doing that...as it's just plain sacrilege.
:eek: :(

You're quite correct, Johnathan; hatred is a double-edged sword.

I thought you would be happy to see that some of us aren't "asleep at the wheel" in here. We watch, wait, read all, and report on what is there (and, sometimes, what is "conveniently" omitted). :wink:

exactly soldier, "ALWAYS VIGILANT"

i will say again, the kkk and neo-nazis are abhorrent, but they have no influence on public policy. as o'rielly says, the aclu is the most dangerous group in the country

Exactly!

Glad to see they included Black Separatist groups in there as well.

Wasn't able to click on the states last night since graphics are loading slow at home. Was not surprised at what I found in TX or KY, although I don't know why they didn't include Santa Fe, TX.

Forgot to mention PETA. There's no doubt PETA qualifies as a hate group. But, again, consider the source -- a liberal website.

There is so much hate in this world today that it is hard to justify putting them into groups.

That's true - they're more like "focus groups". :eek: :x

Think of them as in the United States Code definition of "militia"...there is the "organized" (Regulars, Reserves, National Guard) and the "unorganized" (every citizen between 17 and 46).

Same goes for "hate groups".

I also noted that some "Confederate" groups listed are actually comprised of historians, re-enactors and decendants of former Southern soldiers...all of which I am, or have been in days past. :?: :eek: :?: :eek: :?:
