White-power groups recruiting from military

Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 2:42 PM ET
Filed Under: Terrorism, Iraq
By Jim Popkin, NBC News Senior Investigative Producer

White-supremacist groups have recruited 203 people who served in the U.S. military or who claim to have U.S. military backgrounds, according to a new report by the FBI. The unclassified FBI Intelligence Assessment, issued last week and obtained by NBC News, cautions that white-power extremists are trying hard to recruit active-duty soldiers and recent veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“White supremacist extremists hope to revitalize the white supremacist movement by exploiting antigovernment sentiment among opponents of the overseas conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,” the FBI report states. It adds, however, that the effort is not going particularly well. “Although some veterans of these conflicts have joined the extremist movement, they have not done so in numbers sufficient to stem declines among major national extremist organizations, nor has their participation resulted in a more violent extremist movement,” the FBI writes.

3. They always try the military, but their batting average there is not very good.
I remember when the grand wizard of the KKK came to Norfolk to recruit and pretty much went away empty-handed.

The military is a weird place to go if you don't like people of color.

5. Yes. 203 of 'current and former military'. Considering how many folks
have served in the military, that's pretty lousy.

6. Just beware... Bob Shrum would like nothing better
than to tie together the phrases "anti-war" and "white supremacists" in the public mind. If you think that DLC douche has a benevolent agenda I've got some more wars to you might want to buy.
