The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued a new report on the hate groups in America. The number of extremist groups is at a record level. The biggest rise is in the number of armed militias that see the federal government as the enemy. The biggest reasons for the increase in the number of groups and in their size are Obama being elected president and the long-term effects of the economic crash.
There are also 11 anti-gay groups added to the list. Not all anti-gay groups are designated as hate groups. Those that get the tag (1) use lies or claims to science that has been proven false in their propaganda, and (2) attack or malign (even if just verbally) an entire class of people.
