will we see a dramatic upsurge in KKK/far right wing/other racist group membership ?

I have no clue. My guess is, yes, the membership of all those groups will go up.

1. For a time. Then Obama will turn out to be a good prez and the wannabes will drop away

4. I don't think Obama make a good recruiting tool for the white supremacists. He's just disarming.

5. I believe we will. I read some comments from white supremacists, KKK, and skin-head groups before th...

election. Some sounded like Freepers, but several, spoke of Obama's election as being a turning point for them. Would force white Americans to see 'what was happening to their country' and they would join their organizations in the 'millions'. That was in the last issue of the SPLC's magazine.

6. Yep. The McVeighs and other Republicans/NRA members are arming even as we type.

After eight years of their kind of President, they are ready to draw blood again.

7. We'll see more hate crimes against LGBT I believe. nt

8. Yes. The militia craze that was so prevalent a decade ago will come surging back

There will be more hate crimes and domestic terrorism, the Minutemen will get more violent, and RW talk radio will become even more virulent. At the same time, the RW political leadership that does so much to stir up the crazies will pretend that the violence and hate is evidence of President Obama's "inability to keep us safe." :puke:
