7. And the anti-LGBT crusaders.

All hate groups borrow from one another quite often, even if they refuse to admit it. It's funny (But not haha funny) how many of the arguments here could come straight from Fox News in the polite threads, or with a couple words replaced from the Ku Klux Klan or Aryan Nation in the non-polite ones. (I don't hate women, I'm just trying to protect men! Feminists are the real misogynists! It's bigoted to call me bigoted! <insert appropriate minority> lover!)

I'm especially fond (But not in a good way) of the ones that are a direct mirror for what you find on Stormfront about how terrible it is the PC police have decided to make certain words thought crimes. Ooh, and all the ones where they insist feminists aren't allowed to complain about any issue because other women somewhere else have it worse. All the right wing bigots love the Dear Muslima type argument.

If half your arguments to insist you aren't a hate group are the ones groups widely known and accepted as hate groups use to insist they totally don't hate anyone, you need to rethink your position.

TL: DR: They use the same song as the Klan and NOM, they just changed a few words in the chorus.
