CNN Report: Right-Wing Extremism May Be On the Rise
in ref to: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/14/extremism.report/index.html?iref=mpstoryview
Are Right-Wing Extremists Growing in Numbers in the U.S?
from the article:
"Many right-wing* extremists are antagonistic toward the new [Obama's] presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearm ownership and use..."
*Definition of the Right (aka "right-wing") from Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th ed.): 8 a. individuals professing opposition to change in the established order and favoring traditional attitudes and practices and sometimes advocating the forced establishment of an authoritarian order...b. a conservative position.
You see threats coming from right-wing extremists every day all over the Internet, places like Yahoo Answers--posts that are from Obama haters: anti-liberal, anti-muslim, very pro-war and violent. In fact, Yahoo supports it by allowing it, and it ain't just about "free speech." They monitor Yahoo Answers.
I'm not trying to be rude, but the report in the CNN article is describing the kind of people you see in the video from my last blog post who were McCain/Palin supporters (and I'm still not saying all McCain/Palin supporters are like this):

The guy in the beginning of this video actually says: "Haven't you ever heard that the United States is gonna be taken down from within? What better way...than having the president of the United States to do it? " A woman says, "This man is a terror to this country...his education was paid by arabs." A man says that someone like Obama is going to "give them [arabs, who he also refers to as "dirtbags"] more power in the world." These are not simply opinions. It's the talk of right-wing extremists.
