DHS Links Right-Wing Extremism to Recession
-------------------------------------------



The Department of Homeland Security is warning right-wing extremist
groups are gaining new recruits by exploiting fears about the economy
and the election of the nation’s first black president. A new report
says there’s been a resurgence of right-wing extremism amidst the
recession and President Obama’s election last year. Officials predict a
worsening economy will lead more people to join militias and skinhead
groups or carry out individual acts modeled after Oklahoma City bomber
Timothy Mc Veigh.
