DMCA | Birmingham, AL's Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors right-wing "Patriot" groups, hate groups and hate crimes across the country, released a report this week that found there were 1,360 radical, anti-government "Patriot" groups (including 321 militias) in 2012. Such groups numbered only 149 in 2008. This represents an 813 percent rise since President Obama took office--and not coincidentally, the fourth straight year the numbers have increased. |
