Locating Your Nearest Hate Group

The Southern Poverty Law Center has mapped out the locations of various hate groups around the country. Their map allows you to get more specific information for each state. The numbers are for the number of hate groups active in 2005, including neo-Nazis, the KKK, skinheads, and Christian identity groups.

    It is scary to think that the military has now started to recruit individuals from hate groups. I would like to see the next chairman of the Armed Services Committee presumably Sen. Carl Levin hold hearings into whether the military is still doing this. I don’t know who is the next chairman on the House side. If they are in fact still doing this then they should be encouraged to stop these practices. In trying to meet low recruitment goals the effects of this practice will have long lasting negative effects.

    The military is caught in a numbers game. If they are targeting any group it is poor kids where the option to go to Iraq is better then their current chances.

    I live in the Alto and Caledonia area which is south of Grand Rapids, Mi. Caledonia and Hastings (south of Caledonia) have some of the highest enrollments in the KKK. The conventional wisdom is most of downtown Caledonia businesss are KKK members; something which a member proudly admitted to me.
    We live in red-neck;hate-group central. What is bizarre is south of Hastings is Middleville which is a very progressive little town.

    Knowing that there are so many hate groups, I am proud that Virginians elected Webb and sent a strong message to Sen. Allen that his hateful message was not welcome in VA though the vote was very close. But I was not pleased to see Sen. Trent Lott return to the leadership in the Senate at the No. 3 position. Though it will be interesting to see him interact with Rove on matters of legislation, as he orchestrated Lott’s removal as Majority Leader of the Senate when he boldly and foolishly made those comments about former KKK leader Strom Thurmond.

    Recently I came across this article (I forget where) that said that when Cheney was a Senator he was among a handful of repugs who voted against the sanctions dems wanted to impose on South Africa for its Apartheid practices. In the House Sen. DeWine was among a handful of House members who also voted against it. However the dems were able to override Reagan’s veto and pass the measure as many republicans voted with the dems. It was a huge embarrassment for Reagan.

    My apologies, I stated that Sen. Lott was chosen for the number 3 position in the Senate leadership. It’s the number 2 position now that the repugs are in the minority.

    What is scary is how many blacks hispanics and muslims who belong to gangs are recruited into the military so that they can take that training back to the gangs to be used for terror purposes.Guess ya never thought of that one huh or is that ok for them?

    Do we have any actual evidence of American blacks, Hispanics, or Muslims using military training for terror purposes? I mean beyond an isolated nut. Timothy McVeigh had military experience and practiced domestic terrorism but I note you didn’t express any concern about white right wing extremists receiving military training.
