Haters Having a Hard Time Hating.

Each year, the SPLC's 15-member investigative staff gathers police reports and intelligence from field sources. Its most recent report identified 800-plus active hate groups across the country.

California (57), Florida (50), and New York (44) topped the list. Minnesota, meanwhile, landed just eight.

Judging by their slim numbers and dubious strength, organized hate in the Land of 10,000 Lakes is struggling.

Bradlee Dean ain't doing too good:

The same dormancy appears to have befallen Bradlee Dean's Annandale youth ministry, You Can Run But You Can't Hide International.

It wasn't long ago that Dean was a man on fire. The firebrand speaker — freshly emancipated from the shackles of pills, powder, and liquor — took to high school auditoriums and big-box stores to share his lessons on hope and salvation. His holier-than-thou evangelism followed the teachings of a meaner Jesus.

The married father of three called homosexuality "an abomination." Gay discrimination was a myth because "they are subverted and condemned by their own hand."

But the good Lord giveth, and the good Lord taketh away.

Dean's headliner days saw their apex in 2011. While leading a Friday prayer before the Minnesota House of Representatives, the sweat suit-clad evangelist snuck in an unsubtle dig at President Obama, who Dean had long fingered as a Muslim. The true head of America, he said, "is Jesus, as every president up until 2008 has acknowledged."

These days, Dean has been reduced to a shell of his former self. His strip-mall ministry in Annandale closed two years ago. Street teams of youngsters sharing Dean's word and peddling CDs by Junkyard Prophet, his Christian rock band, have reportedly been disbanded.

It must be hard to keep up a hate group these days. There's just so much crazy out there that it's tough to compete.

Not to mention all the fucking immigrants coming into the country and spouting vitriol at cents on the dollar.

I would think population size is a factor here. Certainly it's far from the only factor, but the ratio of hate groups to people in both California and Minnesota seems to be around 1:680,000

Well, there is always newnation.org and 8ch.net/pol for people to go to online.

Bradlee Dean ain't doing too good:

I remember when he was eagerly hosted by several Tea Party groups here in Florida during the run up to the 2008 elections. I had people telling me that the Tea Party was all about lower taxes and more freedom and was not a re-badged religious right. I just sent them videos of Dean preaching and fliers from the Tea Party groups billing him as a featured speakers. Tea Party still cleaned house here in the last several elections and our state House of Representatives is probably nuttier than the Federal House.

To hear my conservative acquaintances talk, SPLC is anti-white just like the ACLU.

But the list of hate groups for good old Florida is full of black separatist chapters from Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers, and Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ.

Shut it Down!



But seriously, this song is funny as hell as unintentional parody.
