Although there are self-proclaimed hate groups listed, anti-immigration does not mean they are a hate group. They don't call themselves anti-immigration either. ProEnglish simply wants English to be the official language for government purposes. This list included groups who don't follow the author's political views, so this is a very biased article! Shame on The MoCo Show for sharing thid information as a legitimate resource.

The news on the hate groups that was shared on this post clearly states "according to this article from mymcmedia," which was based on the findings of The Southern Poverty Law Center. It is Montgomery County based news like everything else on the post is.

Please feel free to contact mymcmedia if you have a problem with their article. Personally, I do not think it looks like they support or oppose the findings...they are simply summarizing them.
