re: #659 Emerald

So, are you that ignorant of what the modern militias are, or are you a supporter of the violent crimes they commit to fund their race wars?

Every single militia in the country? Really?

Yeah, you’re going to have to cite some sources to back that up.

Even the MIAC militia hit-job didn’t try to go that far. To summarize their findings:

The report indicates that, at its peak, the “militia movement” included some 850 groups; yet, it identifies only 10 “noteworthy” militia events between 1995 and 1999, 8 “noteworthy” militia events between 2000 and 2008, and indicates that only 60 “rightwing extremist” plots were uncovered between 1995 and 2005…

(Further diminishing the report’s faulty conflation, two of the “noteworthy” incidents aren’t applicable: the 1996 bombing of Atlanta Olympic Park by lone-acting Eric Rudolph, and the 2008 mailing of anti-New World Order propaganda to National Guard/Reserve facilities, with which the report fabricates a whole-cloth connection to hoax-anthrax mailings to state governors’ offices.)

In ten years, from up to 850 identified militia groups, only 16 “noteworthy” events were documented. In that time period, 60 “rightwing extremist” plots were uncovered - though even the MIAC report couldn’t go so far as to say all were militia-related.

Note that those numbers also lump together militia-linked extremists and white-supremacist-linked extremists. Militias != white supremacist groups.

So, again, do you care to cite sources to support your claim that all militias commit violent crimes to support race wars?
