CBS: “Report: Extremists emboldened after Nevada ranch standoff”
CBS has used the propaganda from the Southern Poverty Law Center to make this article. The SPLC is run by Mark Potok.
Potok’s goal is to paint non-progressives as extremists. Since CBS is using his stuff they are doing the same thing.
There may be some truth to the assertion that militia members are ‘Emboldened’ by the retreat of federal agents at the Bundy ranch.
Far right wing extremists have been emboldened by the standoff earlier this year between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the federal government, according to a study released Thursday by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The report, entitled “War in the West” examines the conflict between the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and militiamen who supported Bundy, who owed more than $1 million in grazing fees and fines to the government, despite insisting that he had “preemptive rights” to let his cattle graze on the federally owned land.
The incident came as a result of a U.S. District Court ruling that he had to pay the fees just as any other rancher would. Federal agents rounded up around 400 cattle on the public land, leading to an armed standoff that lasted weeks until authorities released the cattle and withdrew. That action was seen as a victory among anti-government circles, particularly the “Patriot” movement, the study says.”
That ‘Study’ released by the SPLC is titled, “War In The West”. Their mission statement reads thus:
THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER is a nonprofit organization that combats hate, intolerance and discrimination through education and litigation. Its Intelligence Project, which prepared this report and also produces the quarterly investigative magazine Intelligence Report, tracks the activities of hate groups and the nativist movement and monitors militia and other extremist antigovernment activity. Its Teaching Tolerance project helps foster respect and understanding in the classroom. Its litigation arm files lawsuits against hate groups for the violent acts of their members.”
You should read the SPLC ‘Study’. It’s pure pro-government propaganda.
