Far Right Wing Violence Has Skyrocketed Since Obama Elected

[bripat9643]

It's widespread everywhere.

There have been quite a few attacks on muslim temples and the Sikh massacre is another example. It was done by right wing extremists that I bet were so dumb they didn't realize they weren't muslims.

I don't recall reading about any Sikhs in the U.S. being massacred. What "attacks" on Muslim temples? Can you document any that were perpetrated by a right-wing group?

Chicago, Detroit, Kiladelphia, liberals can't refute the facts. All they can do is call all acts of self defence acts of violence.

Read the study and stop trying to deflect. Radical right wing domestic terrorism has skyrocketed in recent years.

you are a communist and a liar !!the left is just spouting more bullshit so they can go after the second amendment.

if you want to be a promoted officer, just throw your finger up in the wind and go with it.

500 deaths by liberals in Chicago alone.. in one year.

What makes you think street gangs are liberals?

I was born and raised in Utah, now live in Idaho. I'll get back to ya when the 2 most right wing states in American become dangerous. yawn

Take a look at the homicide rate in the Deep South!

No, thank you.

Black's are about 15% of the population and they commit about 90% of the homicides. Black control, more then gun control, would lower our national homicide rate by about 40%.

Did you pull that number out of your hairy ass, Sassyquatch? The Black homicide rate is disproportionate to their population, but it is't that high. See:

Not that it's to anyone's surprise, but since Obama became the nominee for president, radical right wing violence has soared.

The rise in attacks in the 21st century were significant, as “Although in the 1990s the average number of attacks per year was 70.1, the average number of attacks per year in the first 11 years of the twenty-first century was 307.5, a rise of more than 400%.”

West Point study on ?violent far right? shows ?dramatic rise? in attacks | The Raw Story

Interesting how 9/11/2001 is not mentioned in the study (or at least in the blog report) comparing the 1990's with the first 11 years of the 20th century.

TheRawStory.com seems to be cherry picking from the study to associate voilence against minority groups with the OBAMA presidency, when in reality, there has been an increase (however insignificant) in hate crimes against Moslums:

The norm was a few dozen incidents per year in the late 1990s, but the number jumped from 28 in 2000 to 481 in 2001, a spike attributed to post-9/11 backlash. However, it dropped to 155 in 2002 and held remarkably steady through 2006, before falling again to 115 in 2007, 105 in 2008, and 107 in 2009.

Anti-Muslim incidents rose to 160 in 2010,

Regardless, Jews were most likely to experience hate crimes, with 14.8 incidents per 100,000 Jews annually. Homosexuals and bisexuals (combined) came next (11.5), followed by blacks (6.7), Muslims (6.0), and Hispanics (1.1). Rates for majority whites and Christians were much smaller

If hate crimes have risen during the Obama Administration....then what is Mr Obama doing about it?

After all, he is President.

Right?

yeah ...it's only 5 times higher per capita .

The best response to the OP.

The states with the highest murder rates are all bright red. Fail from you as usual.

chicago, all liberal, no guns allowed, 500 murders in one year.. it's irrefutable.

So black gang bangers are liberals? Absolute idiocy LOL- And they can buy the new semi-autos at gun shows and red states- bring them in by the ton and sell them. Great job, pubbies. THAT may be solved soon. 86% are for univers background checks, tin foilers.

RW militias and fundamentalists are NAZIS- they don't need semi-autos. THAT may not happen, but it probably should. Maybe through background checks, registration of semis, background checks on bullets in the long run.

NOBODY wants to stop rifles and shotguns- that's all anybody needs.

do you really think black gang members vote Republican?
now that's absolute idiocy.

Not that it's to anyone's surprise, but since Obama became the nominee for president, radical right wing violence has soared.

"A report published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point Military Academy on Jan. 15 discusses the potential dangers of “violent far-right” organizations, which has angered some conservatives that believe the military should focus on international threats.

The executive summary of the paper, “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right,” claims that “since 2007, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of attacks and violent plots originating from individuals and groups who self- identify with the far-right of American politics.”

Written by Arie Perliger, Director of Terrorism Studies at the Combating Terrorism Center and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Sciences at West Point, the paper asserts that three distinct ideologies exist in the “American violent far right.” Those are “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement,” the last of which “includes mainly Christian Identity groins such as the Aryan Nations.”

“Findings indicate that…it is not only feelings of deprivation that motivate those involved in far right violence, but also the sense of empowerment that emerges when the political system is perceived to be increasingly permissive to far right ideas,” it later reads.

The rise in attacks in the 21st century were significant, as “Although in the 1990s the average number of attacks per year was 70.1, the average number of attacks per year in the first 11 years of the twenty-first century was 307.5, a rise of more than 400%.”

Funny. FBI's top ten most wanted terrorists include nine Muslims and one left wing radical. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists

African-Americans are six times as likely as white Americans to die at the hands of a murderer, and roughly seven times as likely to murder someone. Young black men are fifteen times as likely to be murdered as young white men.

Just the facts.

Uh....no it hasn't but that won't stop you from lockstepping with the propaganda.

Is it 90% and since it isn't, why didn't you correct Sassyquatch?

because you did. but still imagine if blacks made up over 50 % of the population in the US !! even a libb like you wouldn't want to live here .

The Complexion of Crime in America

In 2005 black men raped 37,460 white women, while white men raped less than 10 black women.

Despite a corrupt mainstream media that refuses to highlight this predominant social plague, the statistics are irrefutable: Blacks commit an excessively disproportionate number of crimes in comparison to other races. And many of these crimes are black on white. According to a 2005 Justice Department report entitled “Criminal Victimization in the United States,” black men raped 37,460 white women, while white men raped less than ten black females, for example. Blacks murder whites at a rate 18 times higher than whites murder blacks.

A 2005 report published by the New Century Foundation called “The Color of Crime” took these trends a step further:

• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun in a crime.
• Blacks commit 75% of all interracial crimes; whites commit 15%; while others account for 10%.
• Blacks are seven times more likely to be imprisoned than whites.

To gauge these numbers, although blacks only comprise 13% of the U.S. population compared to whites at 65%, in 2010 blacks committed more murders (5,890) than whites (5,286). In this context, it’s not surprising that over 10% of all black males aged 25-65 currently reside in prison. That figure is a mere 1.4% for whites.

Sorry, my first post wasn't accurately worded. The base number is closer to 53% of all homicides are committed by blacks while they are only 13% of the population. If someone better at math then myself would run these numbers then the percentage of murders per capita based on percentage of population black/white would be known and I will edit my previous post with the accurate figure.

I believe it works out that if black and white's homicide rates were about equal it would lower the overall stat about 40%.

It doesn't address the topic to try misdirection by saying - "hey look at violence from THIS group."

Is crime and violence a problem in crowded and economically depressed areas that are heavily populated by black people? You betcha?

Is violence a problem in radical right-wing Islamic groups? Yup.

None of that changes the fact that the the radical right within the U.S. is also an increasing source of violence.

The radical right in the U.S. has a lot more in common with the radical right in Iran they they do with real Americans.

And the radical left has does nothing violent at all.
