Inflammatory and irresponsible OpEd - L.A. Times

The author bemoans the rise of the patriot movement and angry white men who are McVeigh sympathizers. Quotes the Southern Poverty Law Center which is as reliable as a drunk uncle. Probably the most laughable is accusing patriots of belief in "conspiracy theories" when the author comes off as a raging fear-monger railing against these supposedly interconnected groups of white males. By the nature of this piece, it is almost like he/she wants to incite one of these groups in an attempt to validate this claptrap. Also nice how the L.A. Times allows the author the cloak of anonymity with no byline.

Peril from Patriots

March 8, 2013

There are, in increasingly frightening numbers, cells of angry men in the United States preparing for combat with the U.S. government. They are usually heavily armed, blinded by an intractable hatred, often motivated by religious zeal.

They're not jihadists. They are white, right-wing Americans, nearly all with an obsessive attachment to guns, who may represent a greater danger to the lives of American civilians than international terrorists.
