I'm watching this on MSNBC right now. It's an interesting piece but I wonder how much stuff like this creates divisiveness within the US by creating an "us" vs "them" ideology? This is something that seems to have grown (probably starting in the Reagan era and continued from there). Some of the sound bites have been interesting thus far ("The islamics are taking over everything in the US! The President isn't even Christian!").

What is also interesting is that the Militia numbers have tripled in membership and number of groups (from the 300s in the 80s to 500s+ today).

Anyone else watching this?
