They're Back!
The Southern Poverty Law Center reports on the return of the right wing militias. With a black president in the White House and increasing numbers of non-white immigrants entering the country, the groups that fostered Timothy McVeigh, the man who murdered 168 innocent men women and children in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, have returned to the forefront, fueled by the popularity of the Tea Party movement and populist blowhards like Glenn Beck. Recently, leaders of the Republican Party vied with one another at CPAC in Washington to see who could pander the loudest to the far right in the American political spectrum, with some seemingly encouraging more right-wing terrorist action like that of the recent incident in Texas when a Vietnam War hero was murdered by an anti IRS activist.
