NBC: Homegrown hate groups increase in number
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - On a recent Saturday afternoon, hate was on the march in St. Louis. About 85 members of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the nation’s largest neo-Nazi group, gathered in the shadow of the famed Gateway Arch for a march and rally celebrating its 35th anniversary.

Clad in all black, with their pants tucked into tightly laced combat boots, the group carried swastika flags and signs urging immigrants to leave the country. They chanted “Sieg Heil,” a popular rallying cry in World War II Germany, accompanied by a Nazi salute: one arm outstretched, fingers tightly joined, palms facing down.

Their critics say that groups like NSM are the faces of homegrown hate, something the NSM denies. They instead call themselves a “white civil rights organization.” Its ultimate goal is to whitewash America. If they had their way, U.S. citizenship would be limited to “those of pure white blood”; minorities would live in the country as guests. All Jewish people and gays would be forced to leave and immigration would be prohibited.

As shocking as those views are, groups like this are more popular than ever.

“Right across the board, extremist groups are thriving right now”, says Mark Potok, Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project.

3. Unfortunately they tend to be young sociopaths who just don't give a shit.
Ashamed to say I got one in the family.

I've never understand why, coming from a middle-class liberal background, she needed to look down on blacks and jews just to feel important herself, but combine the narcissism with a wide streak of sociopathy and anger and you have a fat, idiot skinhead.

4. I have a bad feeling about the next few months
And I hope and pray that I'm wrong, but the terrorists are openly coming out now and they seem to be winning. I think there will be several attacks against Liberal types and I think that there will be prosecution, but not for terrorism. Once again, I hope I'm wrong. This country has enough problems without this stuff happening.
