My goodness! I looked at the chart. There's "only" 24 groups in New York but 40 (!!!) in New Jersey. For such a relatively small place there's an aweful lot of hate going on... |

This thread was inspired by today's shooting at the Holocaust Museum in DC, which got me over to the Southern Poverty Law Center's map of hate groups in America: |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

Oh, would you look at that? My home state of Alaska has zero hate groups. Makes sense. I mean, you don't have time to hate your fellow man when you're fighting off grizzlies. |

Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
The left doesn't have any of those hateful types. Thank goodness. It is like a sunny picnic talking politics with all lefties. At least people like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow preach nothing but love and tolerance. They are so open-minded. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
And yet...no gunmen. |

Let's see here... The Weather Underground uses bombs, and Manson followers use knives. Enviromentalist terrorists plant metal gadgets in trees that kill lumberjacks who use chainsaws. I am not sure what weapon Ira Inehorn used to murder after spewing a bunch of left wing talk about peace and love. Was it a knife? Hmmm, I guess those aren't guns. That's much better. |

We can talk about the current street gangs and other violent street thugs, for example. Are they a bunch of Republicans? Uh, no. They are Democrats. Have you heard the rap thug heroes of the left praising Obama and dogging Bush? |

You don't have to make my point for me with a stretch like "street thugs" and "rap thug heroes of the left." C'mon. |

You don't agree that rap and street thugs are left wing? They are. Why do you disagree? Look up a video of any famous gangster rapper talking politics. You will see what I mean. Listen to how pro-violence they are. |

As if the fact that it's 'usually one or two guys doing it' makes the acts any less devastating. And as for no right-wing riots... |

White girl, you can ask her what the dick be like
And monster madness doing drive-bys on a fuckin fixie bike
Fuck it moron, snortin oxycontin, wearin cotton,
Oxymoron like buff faggots playin sissy dykes
Woes, I am not at all taking up for the shootings and bombings. What made you think I was? You don't have to convince me that stuff is devastating or that the numbers of people responsible for a given number of killings are irrelevant to the devastating nature of them. No kidding. WTF???? |

Lets look at some statistics: |

The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The book that everyone needs to read."If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."- Terence McKenna
We're really talking about the US since Nixon, Catbus. I'm emphatically NOT trying to say that one end of the spectrum is inherently more violent than the other, only that politics in this country now are shifted to the Right enough that there's more activity on that fringe, and hence that's where the danger lies. |

"Take atheism, for example. Not a religion? Their pseudo-dogmatic will to convert others to their system of beliefs is eerily reminiscent of the very behavior they criticize in the religious."

Yeah, I was a little disappointed but not particularly surprised by that myself. I grew up in a small town in PA, and pretty much all forms of prejudice--racism, sexism/homophobia and antisemitism, definitely--were expressed blatantly (thought not by that many individuals) without much fear of censure. I'm thinking it's the concentrations of poor whites who rarely come in contact with anyone of a different background. |

Seems like "hate groups per capita" would be a more useful measure. My home state is apparently home to a relatively modest 19 hate groups, but when you consider that about as many people live in this entire state as in the city of Los Angeles... |
