Maybe it didn't grow. Maybe with obama as President they lowered the bar.

 

[HenryBHough]

Some debate about whether The Democrat Party should be counted as a single hate group or whether each local cell should be counted individually.

Are you saying they're now accepting substandard extremists?

True. Liberals make piss poor extremists. I doubt they would even be able to perform the most basic of extremist activities beyond writing some rousing folksongs.

Did we forget about these guys?

Yup...I did...almost 50 years ago.

I wouldn't be surprised by this, but in the same regard, the Southern Poverty Law Center is not exactly a credible source. They, themselves, are an extremist, bigoted organization.

History is cyclical, always has been. I also can mention those ELF/ALF idiots who like to torch ski resorts and free minks from fur farms. and we can also discuss the whole BLM movement.

I wouldn't call them extremist, they aren't advocating any overthrow of anything, but they are bigoted.

Calling them extremists just gets you caught in their little game.

Indeed. In general though - leftwing extremists do more property damage than life-taking. The rightwing extremist groups seem more adept at that.

Their viewpoints are not mainstream among the public. I think extremist is a perfectly valid label.

Or you can discuss like, foreal bad people who hurt people. But go on about freeing minks and the dangers that causes, really interesting stuff

Bed wetters consider anyone who opposes regressive collectivist policy an "extremist".

Obama didn't forget about Bill and Bernadine. After all he began his political career in their living room in Chicago. Along with Hillary and Bubba. Two murdering terrorists and three murdering terrorist supporters and enablers.
