In the discussion thread: Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford, Say They Are [View all]

66. It's worth noting that journalist and author, Chris Hedges, has been raising the alarm

for the past few years about just this eventuality -- that when the social and economic underpinnings of a society come under attack, that the system "VOMITS UP" (his term) these kinds of movements.

He makes this point both in his book, "Death of the Liberal Class" and in his many talks around the country. He bases this view on what he witnessed as a war correspondent in Bosnia and other foreign countries.

Looks like it's all playing out as expected.
