SPLC crying the blues... Researchers report sharp rise in 'patriot' groupsBy BOB JOHNSON and JEFF MARTIN - Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- President Barack Obama's administration and the gun control debate after the Connecticut school shooting have led to surging numbers of anti-government "patriot" groups, according to a civil rights organization that tracks them. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported the rising numbers on Tuesday in its annual report on extremist groups. news.yahoo.com/researchers-report-sharp-rise-patriot-groups-170121578.html

The SPLC found there were 1,360 Patriot groups in 2012 — an 813 percent rise since 2008, the year before Obama took office. The groups include 321 militias. These numbers far exceed the movement's peak in the 1990s, when militias were inflamed by the 1993 Brady Bill and the 1994 assault rifle ban That is better news than I got on Resistance. When the hostilities begin I hope someone knows where to find Mr Potok. He deserves as seat in the front row since his asininity has led to so many joining these groups. We should put him place as the PAO.
