The recent Homeland Security report on the growing threat of "right wing" groups turns out to be based on web searches of "right wing" sites. See the Fox News video here: http://bit.ly/tLu1N No intelligence gathering, no analysis, just looking at web sites. Now a new "news" article is making its way around DrudgeReport and other sites. An article produced by Southern Poverty Law Center www.splcenter.org and getting play on DrudgeReport, claiming a recent rise in "militias" is also based on a rise in websites according to the report itself which was written by a staffer at the left wing group but presents itself as a "study".
The real question is, are these sites indicative of more persons or groups or just more people learning to use the internet? Maybe a better question is that if we are going to count websites as proof that some heinous danger lurks in the hinterland, who is creating the websites? Maybe leftist groups are ginning them up to promote their agenda of hate. The duplicity would be right out of the leftist play book so revered by the radicals, Saul Alinsky. In an article in the American Thinker today http://bit.ly/xTUdb Kyle-Anne Shiver writes of a story from the Alinsky biography by Sanford D. Horwitt which demonstrates the deception of the left. "From Horwitt's Let Them Call Me Rebel:
"...in the spring of 1972, at Tulane University...students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest of a scheduled speech by George H. W. Bush, then U.S. representative to the United Nations - a speech likely to include a defense of the Nixon administration's Vietnam War policies. The students told Alinsky they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush's address. That's the wrong approach, he rejoined, not very creative - and besides causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go to hear the speech dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards reading, ‘The KKK supports Bush.' And that is what they did, with very successful, attention-getting results.""
How easy it is for leftist techies to create a "surge" in militias or right wing extremist groups when all they have to do is buy a few domain names and fill the free hosted sites with what they imagine is the universe of hate on the right. Conservatives are a little too trusting when it comes to the left. As a more generally trustworthy bunch who believe in absolutes like honesty, conservatives forget that leftists don't have moral values. All morality is relative to a leftist. The end therefore justifies the means. We have to look no further than the constant duplicity coming from the current leftist administration to see that this is indeed the case.
