The Southern Poverty Law Center has a national clearinghouse for tracking hate groups. In 2008, Southern Poverty Law Center counted 926 active groups in the United States. California had 84 active hate groups, which is the largest number reported for any state. The center researches groups using hate group publications and websites, reports from law enforcement and citizens, field reports and news reports.
The number of groups which operate in Southern California is startling. Groups range from Newport Beach to Big Bear to Camarillo to San Diego. Does anyone know if any of these groups have donated money to candidates for office?
