Astrosurfing for hate groups

We've all seen those stories popping up about the rise of right wing hate groups.
That's another part of the most hated parts of the 90s returning. There were always right wing hate groups stories and then that terrorist fool McVeigh allowed them to crow about it.

Well, here they come again, and while I knew something about the Southern Poverty Law Center, I didn't really feel like doing all the research involved.
But Bob at Confederate Yankee did it for me.

Mark Potok has made quite the career for himself at the Southern Poverty Law Center finding right-wing hate behind every tree to ensure that donations to his non-profit keep rolling in. But as Sweetness & Light note in the link above, Potok bases his claims that right wing hate groups are exploding by his claims of online growth, even as web traffic to the web sites of hate groups remain remarkably constant and in some cases has regressed.

RTWFT and click the links. They're astrosurfing hate groups and Minitru is lapping it up.
Bastids, they're all bastids.
