White Supremest Groups

[KYDEM]

Are these groups considered terror groups? Do they not have militias? Do not some of the members run for offices in communities? Do they not live in and among the populations of the communities? Shouldn't the government of these communities or our Federal government do something about these groups? Should we start wars against these states that harbor these terrorist?

1. Yes, many white supremacist groups are terrorist organizations.

But they are white Americans, so the Bushies don't like to call them that.

3. Agreed, but then again so is the Animal Liberation Front

but some here might be hesitant to call them terrorists as well.

4. Plus, the B*sh administration

wouldn't want to piss off any of their base.:evilgrin:

5. in Chimp-speak, "terrorists" must by definition be Arabs and/or Muslim...

If some random Mullah who only has 15 followers gave a speech calling for the destruction of the US, Fox News would be splashing across its screens "Terrorist Leader Calls for Destruction of the Homeland!!!!!"

But when Pat Robertson says that someone needs to blow up the State Department HQ with a nuclear bomb, he's invited onto Faux as a respected commentator on morality.

2. White supremacists are terrorists.

They're domestic terrorists, not unlike Timothy McVeigh and other paramilitary militia members. But I wouldn't be too sure that Bushco and Homeland Security take them very seriously. Morris Dees' Southern Poverty Law Center is a good source of information on them.

6. worry alot more when they become well funded n/t

7. The Randy Weaver types are embraced by their racist communities. The

Feds had better steer clear. Remember how the right wingers boo hooed over the likes of Weaver and David Koresh? Those machine heads could shoot at or kill federal cops, but it's no big deal to the right wingers.

8. Southern Poverty Law Center monitors groups like these:

There's a map that shows who and where they're located, too.
