The OP is somewhat boring. I brought this over specifically for the responses.

Liberal Hate Groups Don't Exist
I was watching Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project this AM, discussing the new report about the rise in "right-wing hate groups" since 2009 and it got me thinking.
As much as we despised Bush, his stolen election, illegal wars, stupidity - we didn't go out and form militias, much less shoot anyone. like these twisted freaks.
One more reason, I'm proud to be a LIBERAL!
February 23, 2011
A new study by the Southern Poverty Law Center describes a big rise in hate groups across the country.
By its count, there are now more than 1,000 active extremist groups in the U.S. Experts say the largest increase comes from militias that consider the federal government their enemy.
Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the law center, has been studying hate groups for a long time. But Potok says even he was surprised when he started counting extremists for his annual report.
"We have absolutely explosive growth of these groups in 2009," Potok says. "And what we have now found is that that growth continued through 2010. We have a higher hate group count than we've ever had."http://www.npr.org/2011/02/23/133970226/new-report-high...
As Frank says, oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my.

17. Communists advocate equality (Oh good lord Shaggy. The resin is getting to your brain). By definition, there is no hate groups.
Don't confuse communists with an evil dictator.
And do not confuse communism with nazism as they are very very very different.

8. This just makes me think that liberals have poor organizational skills
I read some pretty hateful things on DU and other left sites. But it doesn't seem to have graduated from theory to practice.
Crazy freakin' dumbass #4:
39. Organizing is too much like authoritarianism--liberals have an instinct to reject
authority, which you would have to seize or at least fake in oeder to organize. I think we can get over it, but it would be counter-instinctive, and rather difficult. When the motivation is there, we'll do it. Like Wisconsin.
What are these people smoking? So far Lady Nada hasn't shown up to give her thoughts, but I'm sure she'll be along shortly. Bobo will be by to tell us how much everyone hates the poor.
