I don't remember in right wing extremist groups during the sixties. Please provide some links to that information.
The Dangerous Left-Wing Hatemongering from Media Matters
The left’s newest meme against anyone that disagrees with it is to say that all conservatives are “dangerous” to the county. It is said in leftist circles that anyone with a conservative viewpoint is only a hairsbreadth away from committing violence against the U.S.A., its government, and citizens. Because of this, the left claims, conservatives have somehow become dangerous. Sadly, these assumptions are exactly the sort of charge that they used to rail against conservative minded Americans for thinking of them. But introspection is not the sort of mood the extreme left is in today. Today they are in a fearmongering, hate-filled mode because for the first time in a generation they have the taste of power in their mouths. They are the ones in a position to say what should or should not be done as a matter of policy. They’ve become “the man.” Let us savor the irony of all this, shall we? The left used to bemoan that they were “victims” of conservative oppression. They used to agitate that “the man” was ready to put them in re-education camps, that “the suits” were forcing them to conform to the system, and that their freedom of speech was always on the verge of being eliminated by “the establishment.”
Organizing to Stop Far Right Violence
They have singled out President Obama as their target. Since the real President Obama is not who they describe -- no, he's not the Antichrist, was born in America and doesn't want to kill your grandmother -- they have resorted to lies and intimidation to try and stop his agenda of much needed change. The problem is that I believe that Religious Right leaders and their Republican base are also potentially inciting violence. Within their numbers are unhinged people who also happen to be well armed.
Are Right Wing Extremists Trying to Recruit Our Troops?
In their own words, "The mission of Oath Keepers is to vastly increase their numbers. We are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our own troops." Direct quote from Oath Keepers. In response to Oath Keepers request to post their story, we will on condition that they change the Oath to the revised one recommended by Veterans Today News Network. Lastly, we want to remind our readers including members of Congress that only the Department of Defense working in cooperation with Homeland Security can determine if groups like Oath Keepers pose a threat to the U.S. Constitution, our legally elected government, and of course Homeland Security. Surely the fact that either left or right-wing extremists groups may be trying to recruit active duty troops can't be based on but one group thus a closer examination is warranted.
To me anyway, I see it like this. The PTB will not let any harm come to someone who will work toward their goals. They will make sure that he is protected.
It should also be noted that the last time a president was kill, the secret service wasn't very good at their job.

Now this article certainly had me thinking. Is there a right wing hatred running wild? Or is this something that has been put out there for everyone to be swayed one way or the other? If I watch Fox News I am almost inclined to agree with this article. If I watch CNN I am inclined to not agree with this article. It's all so confusing. Who or what is behind this push to sway us really?
The radical right, aided by a GOP Noise Machine that positively dwarfs what existed in 1963, has turned demonizing Obama--making him into a vile object of disgust--into a crusade. It's a demented national jihad, the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times. But I've been thinking about Dallas in 1963 because I've been recalling the history and how that city stood as an outpost for the radical right, which never tried to hide its contempt for the New England Democrat. Today, conservatives are expressing outrage that Rep. Nancy Pelosi had the nerve to raise concerns about the onrush of violent political rhetoric. The Noise Machine claims it has no idea what Pelosi's talking about. But the truth is, America's most famous bouts of political violence (i.e. JFK, Oklahoma City, etc.) have always been accompanied by waves of radical, right-wing rhetoric. Given that history, the GOP's insistence that the hate now filling the streets couldn't possibly inspire violence seems woefully naive.

Is it our desire for strife that feeds this machine? Is it the elite's agendas running against eachother? Or is this article actually summing up what is happening? Is it the reality of our current situation?

It is all so stupid. We still don't have a regular person in office. The citizens of this nation are not sheep. They are cows. Stupid, bloated, cud chewing cows. We can't even elect a decent president without being distracted by the pretty lights and smooth talk of these party clowns. Shame on all of us.
