I'd like to see what you're referring to, and the logic by which you
conclude all (or most) militia members agree with it. I've been around
talk.politics.guns for almost 4 years now, and I many times anti-gunners
adopt the the strategy of creating multiple accounts, one of which is
an "NRA member" who the anti-gun has spout racist garbage and similiar
tripe, to which the anti-gunner then responds with his other account.
(Thereby vilifying, supposedly, the NRA.)
Just because some NAZI idiot like Milton Kleim posts a couple articles
saying what a great guy Hitler was, and how he actually opposed gun control,
it doesn't mean militias are white supremacists.
If you have a verifiable instance of "extreme right-wing" militia member
posting to the internet, I'd like to see it, and talk to the poster
so I can verify he said it.
And, I certainly disagree that they are NOT smeared "just because
they suport gun rights". That, and the fact that they'll willing to use
guns in defense of their rights, are the PRIMARY reasons they are smeared.
Liberals hate guns, and they'll use any form of propaganda to accomplish
their gun-banning agenda. Witness Randy Weaver. Did Randy Weaver go
around lynching blacks? Bashing gays? Shooting hippies? He was
labeled a "white supremacist" by the media with the hopes of conjuring up
such images, even though all he wanted was to be left alone in his mountain
shack. He never assaulted anyone in his life. His only "crime" was
selling two shotguns which were .5" under the legal limit to undercover
agents, and then refusing to work as an undercover agent for them in
exchange for immunity.
