"The number of hate groups in the U.S.  has grown each year for the past 11 years, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center. In 2000 the center reported that there were 602 hate groups;  in 2011 that number had climbed to 1,018.

Anti-Muslim hate groups tripled from 10  to 30 last year, and anti-gay hate groups increased from 17 to 27.

Potok attributes the rise in anti-Muslim groups to the debate over the ground zero mosque in 2010 and to “opportunistic politicians and activists.”

“It was a completely artificial thing,” Potok said. “That anti-Muslim wave is the work of propogandists and nothing more.”

In regards to the rise in anti-gay groups, Potok believes it is likely the result of desperation that public opinion is not on their side."

You just might be surprised to know that under their definition of a "hate" group, the  Southern Poverty Law Center is a "hate" group.

If you openly disagree with anyone else's agenda, that makes you a "hater". That is unless you are a liberal. Then anyone that disagrees with you is a hater. And then they wonder why people have so much hate.
