A new study reports that the number of hate groups in the United States grew in 2015 for the first time in three years, with extremist organizations exploiting ongoing tensions around race, religion, and ideology to recruit a small horde of new followers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An investigation<\/a> released Wednesday from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) chronicles the rise of American extremist groups in 2015, reporting that the number of hate groups increased 14 percent compared to 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201c2015 was a year that very nearly approaches the political upheavals of 1968,\u201d Mark Potok, SPLC senior fellow and author of the report, told reporters on a press call Wednesday morning. \u201cAn enormous amount of hatred has been absorbed in the political mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Potok attributed much of the growth of such groups to the uptick in hateful, xenophobic, and often anti-Muslim rhetoric spouted by presidential candidates<\/a> such as Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, the latter of which has proposed a ban on all Muslim immigration<\/a> into the United States in response to terrorist attacks in Paris by ISIS\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We can\u2019t afford to be lazy.  The hate mongers will be voting in masse and voting Republican!<\/font><\/p>\n
