From The Southern Poverty Law Center

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The number of extremist groups in the United States exploded in 2009 as militias and other groups steeped in wild, antigovernment conspiracy theories exploited populist anger across the country and infiltrated the mainstream, according to a report issued today by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Antigovernment “Patriot” groups – militias and other extremist organizations that see the federal government as their enemy – came roaring back to life over the past year after more than a decade out of the limelight.

The SPLC documented a 244 percent increase in the number of active Patriot groups in 2009. Their numbers grew from 149 groups in 2008 to 512 groups in 2009, an astonishing addition of 363 new groups in a single year. Militias – the paramilitary arm of the Patriot movement – were a major part of the increase, growing from 42 militias in 2008 to 127 in 2009.

The report, “Rage on the Right,” is the cover story in the Spring 2010 issue of the SPLC’s quarterly investigative journal Intelligence Report.

    I support free speech. However, when you go to political rallies and there is open advocacy for killing the president, and his family there is a real problem.

    When you have religious figures saying the same thing, we have a problem. When has it been okay to advocate killing someone? Hey, don’t agree with their ideas….that is fine. Wishing them dead or harm…not cool.

    I never heard so much hate before until the last six months of 2008. I hate to say it but it seems like the election of a mixed-race president had made some of these nuts angry as hell. And now the freaking supreme court is trying to tell states and non-states they can let these nuts carry guns in the president’s back yard. We got a problem.
    When will America wake up and say no, this is not okay.

    The tea party movement has so many radical ideas and racist beliefs that they should be considered domestic terrorists and confined to Guantanamo.

    ms_justice06, you must not have paid attention during the Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, etc presidencies. There have been people advocating killing the president for decades. I heard people calling for Bush’s death on The View.
