100 new militia groups since Obama elected; watchdog alarmed

By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer Monday, November 16th, 2009 -- 10:20 am

Some 100 new militia groups have formed since the election of President Barack Obama, says the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In a re-run of the phenomenon seen when President Bill Clinton took office, gun-rights advocates, libertarians, survivalists and others are forming militias as a symbol of their resistance to what they see as an administration that threatens to restrict their right to bear arms and expand government control over the lives of private citizens.

"The truth is that these groups are popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a social-justice group that has been tracking the rise of militias over the past year.

Potok's group put out a report earlier this year raising the alarm about the resurgence of armed militias. Since then, he told CNN, the group has counted about 100 new groups formed across the country.

"There really is this terrible fear mixed with fury about the idea that President Obama is somehow leading a socialistic takeover of America," Potok said.

A CNN news crew that visited the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia found a group that sees itself as a "deterrent" to any attempts to restrict gun use, and otherwise sees itself as a place to learn survival skills.

"Just the simple fact that we are out here and we are doing this, will give somebody pause, will make them think twice," said militia member Michael Lackomar, who added that he thought Obama "could be dangerous for the nation."

"Anytime we get a Democratic president in the office, people become concerned, including myself, and we get a resurgence out here," said one militia member, identified only as Brian.

But CNN's Jim Acosta points out that gun control "is unrealistic in many ways, because the Obama administration and the Democrats know that it would be political suicide for them to go after gun control measures. Even the attorney general has indicated he won't go back to the assault weapons ban enacted in the Clinton administration."

In its report from August, the Southern Poverty Law Center pointed out that the most recent wave of militia groups differs slightly from the wave seen under President Clinton in one respect.

"A key difference this time is that the federal government — the entity that almost the entire radical right views as its primary enemy — is headed by a black man," the report states. "That, coupled with high levels of non-white immigration and a decline in the percentage of whites overall in America, has helped to racialize the Patriot movement, which in the past was not primarily motivated by race hate."

Meaning that the federal government has at least one hundred new undercover operatives ready to manipulate those stupid enough to join their supposed militia group.

It wouldn't surprise me if this article were little more than a recruitment add by government operatives to get people into their "militias" and under surveillance. 100 new militias? How about, as you say, 100 new government agents handing out pamphlets trying to *start* 100 new militias.

Leaderless resistance is going to be the framework of any eventual confrontation in the future (hypothetically), at least initially. Imagine, 80 to 100 million Militias of One. Somebody in DC probably isn't sleeping well these days. :)

Check the Obama motorcades with wagon loads of SS troops armed with cannons.

If Obumski comes up with a double or two, we will be assured of the fear in DC.

Nothing would make me happier than to have the bulk of government scared shitless of us. That is how the natural state of affairs *should* be.

Barry is so utterly inexperienced, and so utterly incapable of learning from others (being a narcissist extreme), that he's going to keep chugging along as if we don't exist and as if our protests were nothing to pay heed to. While he may sleep well (as most idealogues would), I suspect that a lot of Congress- creatures and the unelected bureaucracy aren't.
