Today, The Atlantic magazine published an analysis of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of hate groups, which hit a high in 2010 of 1,002 groups. The analysis provides a “geography of hatred” in America and looks at what factors correlate with areas that are hotbeds for hate groups.
Written by Senior Editor Richard Florida, the research found that hate groups, when population is taken into account, are most highly concentrated in the Deep South and the northern Plains states. The states with the highest per capita concentrations of hate groups are Montana and Mississippi. Hate groups are least concentrated in the Northeast, the Great Lakes region and the West Coast. Minnesota has the lowest per capita concentration of hate groups of all.

I can believe that with some of the nutcase radical rights that are up in the NW corner of the state (Flathead, Yak,) and down the Bitterroot...Many are imports to the state and have a lot of connections/affiliation with the old Aryan Nations, NeoNazis, and White Supremecists...
Its supposedly the reason that the Reverend Chuck Baldwin moved from Florida last year to Montana- to try and create a new white conservative only area up the Flathead and nutty Yak area...
I'm sure he's one of the main ones being tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center...
