Hate-Crime Wave Is Just Lefty Fakery

Past incidents overblown at best, duplicitous at worst

(NEWSER) - Reports of political hate crimes against Democrats since the passage of the health care reform bill are overblown at best, and downright lies at worst, Michelle Malkin writes, charging that Nancy Pelosi & Co. “can’t stand the heat” and so manufactured “a Tea Party epidemic of racism, harassment, and violence against them.” Many of the charges remain uncorroborated, Malkin says—yet the mainstream media aren’t waiting for that to condemn conservatives as hateful.

Soldiers, Cops Form Backbone of Growing Militia Movement

'Oath Keepers' prepare for Obama martial law

(NEWSER) - A growing militia movement convinced that President Obama will soon find an excuse to impose martial law on the US is finding scores of recruits from within the country’s law-enforcement and military community, Justine Sharrock writes in an investigative piece for Mother Jones . The “Oath Keepers” group has “established itself as a hub in the sprawling anti-Obama movement that includes Tea Partiers, Birthers, and 9/12ers”—those who believe the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.
