A NEW GROUP OF EXTREMISTS

(h/t Dave Neiwert at Crooks & Liars)

The Anti-Defamation League has just come out with a report on anti-government rage in America and found a group I hadn't heard of before.

The Three Percenters

The Three Percenters are a loosely organized movement that apparently formed in late 2008, centered around an obscure and not particularly accurate Revolutionary War “statistic” that suggested that only 3% of the American population during the Revolutionary War participated as combatants in the war (the actual figure was nearly twice that). Three Percenters claim that they are a modern counterpart to that mythical 3% of American Revolutionary-era patriots.

One of the active proponents of the Three Percenters is the Alabama-based Mike Vanderboegh, who in the past has been involved with the militia movement and the anti-immigration border vigilante movement.

It's not surprising that these clowns have a poor knowledge of history.
