Hatred is getting a lot of press this week as reports of violent
harassment against Congressional Democrats continue to surface. It began
last weekend with Tea Party activists shouting racist and bigoted comments
at House Democrats during the final push for health care reform.

But new research shows the Tea Party may be the nice guys amid soaring
numbers of hate groups.

An "astonishing" 363 anti-government or "Patriot" groups appeared in 2009,
with the totals going from 149 groups to 512, according to a report
released by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

That's a 244 percent increase in one year. Many of the "Patriot" groups
are militias. Before 2009, there were 42. Now, there are 127. Hate groups
overall stayed at a record high of nearly 1,000 despite the disintegration
of one of the largest neo-Nazi groups in the country.

According to the SPLC, a non-profit dedicated to fighting intolerance, the
numbers are cause for "grave concern."

Following the recent attack by right wing Muslim fundamentalists during
the Christmas holidays, the Moscow bombings, several spree shootings,
massacre by a right wing fundamentalist Muslim US Army Major, the shooting
in the Holocaust museum by a right wing white supremacist and the Tiller
murder (a doctor shot by a right winger in a church), rightists all over
the country have been crying out for more bloodshed because they simply
cannot accept the fact that a non white is President and his Chief of
Staff is Jewish.

Homeland security warned us that rightists would fly out of control and
the recent arrest of Hal Turner for uttering death threats and encouraging
his followers (right wing NeoNazis) to commit murder, along with the
aformentioned right wing terrorist attacks on innocent American citizens,
reminds us that they were correct in their analysis. Will the Obama era
be like the Clinton era, where though the attack by radical right wing
Islamics was met with punishment of the perpetrators and no further
attacks on American soil against citizens until Bush dropped the ball on
9/11/2001, the primary concern for American safety in the 1990s were the
right wing militias, mass murderers like Tim McVeigh, Olympic stadium
bomber Eric Rudolph and the Unabomber, all right wingers who spent their
days attacking their fellow citizens because they were filled with hate of
all things centrist and left. Add the Westboro Baptist Church, the
American Nazi Party, The KKK and National Vanguard, and you have a cess
pool of right wing maniacs ready to kill, kill, kill.


The right have destroyed this country, left its economy in a shambles and
are doing nothing to fix it but obstruct the efforts of good men to help.

The recent murders are more proof of the festering, ugly bitterness of the
right. Sore losers and nobodies with nothing to offer as a fix for the
destroyed Bush economy but pathetic whining and bellyaching.

Like all rightists these days, fat lazy white GOP trash are self loathing
defeatist and is having a melt down over Obama's popularity and success.
It is obvious that the defeatist right want Obama to fail and the USA to
burn, they're angry that Obama is undoing all the damaged caused by Bush
and the
Republicans. They're angry that McCain was crushed in the election,
proving that the right is no longer relevant in American politics or
business. They're angry that McCain failed and didn't get a chance to
continue Bush's looting of the treasury, giving to the rich as gifts.
They're angry that they didn't get to see this country burn. Rightists
are for big government. Bush expanded government by over 30% before his
first term ended. Fiscally irresponsible Republicans have almost destroyed
America.


All they can do now is continue their vain efforts to obstruct the
recovery, recovery from the damage they have caused. Some, including
NeoCon David Frum, say that there will not be a republican house majority
or a republican president for the next 20 years.
