Drums Keep Pounding Rhythm To The Brain

Excerpt from the latest SPLC "intelligence" report, Rage on the Right:

***
...As the [patriot] movement has exploded, so has the reach of its ideas, aided and abetted by commentators and politicians in the ostensible mainstream. While in the 1990s, the movement got good reviews from a few lawmakers and talk-radio hosts, some of its central ideas today are being plugged by people with far larger audiences like FOX News’ Glenn Beck and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn). Beck, for instance, re-popularized a key Patriot conspiracy theory — the charge that FEMA is secretly running concentration camps — before finally “debunking” it.

Last year also experienced levels of cross-pollination between different sectors of the radical right not seen in years. Nativist activists increasingly adopted the ideas of the Patriots; racist rants against Obama and others coursed through the Patriot movement; and conspiracy theories involving the government appeared in all kinds of right-wing venues. A good example is the upcoming Second Amendment March in Washington, D.C. The website promoting the march is topped by a picture of a colonial militiaman, and key supporters include Larry Pratt, a long-time militia enthusiast with connections to white supremacists, and Richard Mack, a conspiracy-mongering former sheriff associated with the Patriot group Oath Keepers.

What may be most noteworthy about the march, however, is its date — April 19. That is the date of the first shots fired at Lexington in the Revolutionary War. And it is also the anniversary of the fiery end of the government siege in Waco and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.


See ya on the Potomac on 19 April -- armed or unarmed.

And by the way, you so-called "intelligence experts": April 19th is also the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Why didn't you mention that, nu?

I have relatives all over the south, and visit plenty of Patriot sites and conservative blogs. NEVER have I heard or read one word disparaging Obama's skin color, except from lefties accusing me of it.

Simple fact, they are getting desperate. It's the best chance they've ever had to "transform" America, and it's not going well.
