Last week, ABC’s Diane Sawyer hosted dire warnings about the rising number of government-hating militias and the danger they presumably pose to the American public.
And to whom did Sawyer and ABC correspondent Dan Harris turn for evidence that new, active militia groups are sprouting up all over the nation? Why to the Southern Poverty Law Center, of course.
The SPLC was founded in 1971 by far-left money and notoriety huckster Morris Dees, a man who has spent years collecting vast sums via civil lawsuits and spending vast sums in donation raising schemes. His antipathy for the right is legendary.
In 1995, Dees placed an SPLC informant in Elohim City, Oklahoma, using him to spy on members of the Aryan Republican Army, an organization of white supremacists whose members were involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. Former FBI head Louis Freeh mentioned Dees and his SPLC informant in confidential, interoffice Bureau memos, and some have since wondered whether Dees and the SPLC might have played a role in advancing the plot of the bombers by purposely keeping details and information from the government.
Did Dees and the far left SPLC allow the deaths of 168 people to take place knowing that militia groups, guilty or not, would universally suffer the blame? To this day, Dees refuses to discuss what his informant might have seen or done.
And this is the non-biased, non-agenda driven group to which non-biased, non-agenda driven Diane Sawyer turns for the inside scoop on America’s law-flouting “hate groups.”
In fact, in ABC’s report, correspondent Dan Harris singled out the “Sovereign Citizens” as one of those dangerous hate groups, identifying as one of its members, “Terry Nichols, co-plotter of the Oklahoma City bombing—a “sovereign citizen…”
Unfortunately for fear mongering ABC, the Media Research Center points out that upon entering “sovereign citizen” in SPLC’s own search engine, “…the earliest mention was an article about a white nationalist group in Montana written about three years AFTER the Oklahoma City bombing.” But then Nichols is always an easy target for any left wing group promoting the dangers of home grown, potential “domestic terrorists.”
And indeed, last year on CNN’s “Newsroom,” SPLC spokesman Mark Potok, an “expert on terrorism,” excoriated Congressman Peter King for holding hearings on radical Islam, stating that “…the biggest domestic terror threat…clearly comes from the radical right in this country.”
Now that Obama’s poll numbers are officially at their lowest level since the Marxist’s 2009 ascent to the throne, he will be depending upon his media allies to redirect public focus from his own failings and agenda of deliberate destruction to the REAL dangers threatening the lives and fortunes of the American people–anyone who disagrees with Barack.
For 3 years, Obama minions from Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano to Diane Sawyer have demonized the “militia movement,” making of it the great Satan in Barack’s developing new world order.
As the One will need all the help he can get going into November, don’t expect his right hand—the American media—to falter in their work of diverting public attention from the “shortcomings” of the Manchurian Candidate.

Too bad: Main stream Media doesn’t mean anything ANYMORE to “WE THE PEOPLE IN THE KNOW!” THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
They said, “government-hating militias and the danger they presumably pose to the American public”. So, it’s a “threat to the public”? NO it’s a THREAT to the Fascist Government that is taking over.
Stevor you are correct. This administration needs a “Battle of Athens” directed toward them.. When the people have had enough of the corruption committed by this administration they will rise up and we will have the second revolution… It is coming. We have a usuper in the Oval Office that should not even be there and we have a Congress with no balls that would challenge him to show his eligibility. Obama was not vetted. Hawaii would not place him on the ballot because he would show them his eligibility so they contacted Pelosi who was chair of the DNC and she signed to put him on the ballot. We have nothing but corruption,fraud and perjury in this administration and it is time it ends….
The left always claim that any group or individual not in line with the leftist agenda to be a threat to the public welfare.
Just like voter ID laws being racist and pro-life advocates being sexist, it’s just left-wing boilerplate!
they are caused by the governmant and only endanger politicans. they broght it on themselves by selling out to big business. i dont like to think about such activity in my country but you can only starve people so long.
Printing Presses are amazing. I wonder how the Government is able to Fight “EVERYONE” on EARTH! What a JOB!
“And this is the non-biased, non-agenda driven group to which non-biased, non-agenda driven Diane Sawyer turns for the inside scoop on America’s law-flouting “hate groups.”
Liberals labeling everyone else as “hate groups” are nothing new and the “Southern Poverty Law Center” has absolutely nothing to do with the South, poverty, or Law. By their own admission they “The Southern Poverty Law Center is a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, founded by civil rights lawyers Morris Dees and Joseph Levin Jr. in 1971. The SPLC is known for tracking and exposing the activities of hate groups, producing and distributing – free of charge – documentary films, books, lesson plans and other materials that promote tolerance and respect in our nation’s schools.”
IF their primary objective is to fight hate and bigotry in these militia groups, why is all their attention aimed at our nation’s schools?
The biggest problem to the United States is caused by obama. The militia is trying to save the united states, just like the Tea Party and many other conservative groups. We must get rid of obama in order to bring justice back. When I joined the service back in 1970 I took an oath to protect the United States from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. Obama falls into the latter group!!!
According to our Constitution written by hand by our founding father’s who were very wise men and well learned, each state was to have a militia to protect the people living in that state. So let’s go ahead and gather our militia’s to protect us against Marxists that are trying to take our freedoms and rights as citizens of the United States of America! Diane Sawyer, I am ashamed of you for taking the bate of the wrong side of the fence! If you want to keep your freedoms as a citizen then you should get with We The People, because we are going to keep our Constitutional Laws and Rights!
robvelon1, I have just one question. ‘WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?’
