The bottom half of this report contains the best information -- a thoroughly documented and well sourced summary of the three most active hate groups in the country. The opening paragraphs left me with one question: Is it that more hate groups are being formed, or that law enforcement is recognizing and rooting out more hate groups that already exist?

I love how this article breaks down--organization by organization--all the hate groups that reared their ugly heads within the past year.

This is a list of extreme right organizations. It would be a better article if it provided more information about these organizations. I understand that these groups try hard to stay below the radar, but it is important to know more about all these groups.

Lots of links to information about groups I wish didn't exist.

As an intelligence report it is hard to find fault. Behind the report is a courageous reporter and behind him, the courageous defenders of human rights, including the officials of the SPLC. It shouldn't be surprising that there are hate groups in the world, given the fact that the world itself is a vicious place.

These groups are extremely toothless and of no importance except to provide evidence that racism is a big influence in the USA.

Like cockroches,rats and other vermin, hiding inside sewers and gutters, awaiting the green light of night time signaling commencement of their dirty work, these hate- virused groups need periodic assessment and termination. Articles such as this one espoused by the highly regarded SPLC, seeks to first expose and diagnose the problem, which it does in breathtaking fashion. Anyone not feeling simultaneously both horrified and queasy at their findings is either overly jaded, somewhat sedated or simply attention-deficient. The infestation of hate, (or as Hunter S. Thompsen so aptly put it , pure "fear and loathing,") has not left the building, but is alive and well, if not thriving in parts of "these here United States." ... More »
