"Terrorist groups" in America listing by state

[Rbadger]

The Southern Poverty Law Center identified 1274 anti-government “Patriot”
groups that were active in 2011. Of these groups, 334 were militias, marked with
an asterisk, and the remainder includes “common-law” courts, publishers,
ministries and citizens’ groups.

I must be doing something wrong!! Not one of the groups I'm associated with made the list!

 

[Scutter01]

Heh...my entire county is apparently a terrorist group.

Remember that these are progressive-defined terrorist groups. That is, those who define themselves as patriotic to the US Constitution. They include people like the Oath Keepers who promise to uphold the Constitution and not disarm the public. This does not includes the many, many groups that they are more sympathetic towards.

That listing doesn't make sense to me. They list counties, even "statewide". Those aren't organizations, they are locales.

Also found it odd that the Constitution Party (an actual Political Party) is somehow an "Extremist" group. They have run candidates for local offices in a couple of elections. I think they actually hold local offices in several states.

Jeez, we couldn't get ANYTHING in Hamilton County on the list? We must not be trying hard enough.

It isn't formatted very well. Those are counties with no county-level "terrorist" groups.

I'll just quote myself here:

I also wonder where that list came from. It doesn't match what is posted on the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Hate Map"
Hate Map | Southern Poverty Law Center

Though, the graphic at the top of the OP's article does come from this publication on their site:
The Year in Hate and Extremism | Southern Poverty Law Center

Maybe there is a spin on this?

Grr I dont think I am affiliated with any of them.. That really hampers my chances of getting on a watch list and into the comforts of a FEMA Camp.....

 

[nucular]

The John Birch Society???

Nothing I'm associated with or my county or city is on the list. No camps for me! INGO isn't on it either...yet

 

[eldirector]

The John Birch Society???

Yep:

To bring about less government, more responsibility, and — with God's help — a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer action in accordance with moral and Constitutional principles.

They must be terrorists

 

[Trigger Time]

^ this

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I think the most terroristic thing I belong to is USAA... lol

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I take it back I live in the terrorist town of "Indianapolis"..... whew had me worried there.... Thank God I am a dues paying member to the terrorist group called Indianapolis. In fact I have been funneling "Indianapolis" money for materials and operations for the last 28 years.



did anyone else notice that directions of travel can be terrorist or racist?

 

[Scutter01]

It isn't formatted very well. Those are counties with no county-level "terrorist" groups.

The list is already so stupid that I choose instead to believe that they just included the entire county as a terrorist group.

 

[92ThoStro]

+ 1 for USAA SAS.. not that you need it

 

[Loco179]

Someone needs to label them as a terrorist group.
