Montana dealing with new influx of white supremacists
http://www.kxly.com/news/index.php?sect_rank=1§ion_id=559&story_id=6348


KALISPELL, MT. -- An alarming but familiar trend is being seen in the Inland Northwest as the Montana Human Rights Network says that state is seeing a new influx of white supremacists.

In the Flathead Valley, the first snow is just one more excuse to get outdoors and the scenery and quaint towns attract thousands of visitors every year.

“Montana is a great place to live, Travis McAdam of the Montana Human Rights Network said. “They come for the quality of living, they come for the hiking, the camping ..."

But in the middle of this beauty and recreation a battle is brewing.

Over the past several years the network has noticed supremacists lead massive literature drops, run for state and local offices and are now attending local schools. The state noticed a similar trend in the early 1980s and as a result, formed the Montana Human Rights Network and for a while the group was declaring victory until recently.

2. Why?
It would interesting to know the cause of the migration, if it is a migration. Is it the isolation? Is it cheap land? I thought these folks were centered in Couer d'Alene.

3. They got thrown out of there
The land owned by the Neo Nazi group there (I think it was the world church of the creator) was siezed by the court after a judgment against the group for inciting to murder. They had to hit the road.
