This should surprise no one. White Supremacists and Militia groups looking to recruit Teabaggers.

Tea parties are proving very attractive to both white supremacists and the militia movement. At 11:15 on Friday, in an online Patriot Caucus discussion forum, David E. Parsons wrote a post called "Militia Training Videos," with links to videos by Mark Koernke, a leading figure in the American militia movement, and his followers.

Militants such as Koernke have referred to their cause as the Patriot Movement for years. Meanwhile, multiple tea party groups are springing up which refer to themselves as "militias." Eric Odom, executive director of American Liberty Alliance, created the Patriot Caucus website on which the militia recruitment post was made. He has yet to respond to a January 22 email informing him of the post. At time of publication, the post was still up.

Even as the teabaggers themselves attempt to argue against being labeled racists and lunatics, groups like Council of Conservative Citizens and Stormfront have found kindred spirits within their ranks.

The White Supremacist connection to the tea parties seems to be growing stronger.

“What I’m fighting for primarily at this point is the survival of the white race,” says Ready, who announced he was a member of the National Alliance after Obama won the election, according to the video. Ready also says he supports what he calls a “racial holy war.”

The National Alliance recently organized an anti-immigration protest in Phoenix, where chants of “No niggers! No Jews! The Mexicans must go too!” were yelled for a few minutes before protest leaders decided to go with “USA! USA!” instead. Ready was a keynote speaker at the event.

On top of white supremacy ties to anti-immigration activists, there are also connections to some conservative Tea Party groups.

“For years the anti-immigration movement was the vehicle of choice for white nationalists looking for an impact on public policy,” says the unknown narrator in the 22-minute newscast. But Tea Party rallies are what “White Nationalists see as their best chance in decades to cross over into mainstream American politics.”

The Council of Conservative Citizens, which has organized Tea Party protests according to the news report, is an organization that a variety of watchdog groups have defined as being white supremacist. The Council gets its roots from “a coalition of white-supremacist groups formed throughout the South to defend school segregation after the Supreme Court outlawed it in Brown vs. Board of Education,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

And where there are fearful white racists can the militia groups be far behind?

However before everybody gets too concerned about heavily armed militias attempting to take over this country, it may be informative to see a video of these knuckle draggers in action.



There is some stiff competition but I have to say that my favorite militia name has to be Mississippi River Rats. That kind of just says it all doesn't it?

I don't know about you but watching these severely out of shape overgrown children playing GI Joe while stumbling through the woods, with the crappy hard rock sound track playing, does not exactly fill me with dread.

And since they are not using blanks in their guns I kind of think their real contribution to humanity will be to prove, once and for all, that Darwin was right.
