Looks like a full-court anti-militia press is on.

Think of it as a bellwether: National Public Radio interviews some dork from the Southern Poverty Law Center about the new rise of militias. Folks, our own Ernest Hancock, Chris, and the New Hampshire guy are the sole impetus for this calculated propaganda move.
Here's a sample:

MARTIN: What defines a militia group?

Mr. POTOK: Well, essentially these are groups that, as you suggested, have a very extreme anti-government belief. They typically see the government as a sort of agent of the New World Order that the elites who run the government are leading this country into a kind of socialistic one world government in which Americans will lose their rights and liberties. And it's a movement, you know, very animated by conspiracy theories. The idea, for instance, that FEMA has a secret set of concentration camps built around the country, you know, in order to throw good, patriotic Americans and so on." I.e., people who pay attention?
