When they say "extremist" they mean "white people", goys.

  The Oath Keepers are more extreme than nearly all other white people. Just a fact. Read up on them and I think you will agree.

    They literally are just a bunch of ex-cops and military who want to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The fact that this seems so threatening to some says more about them than the Oath Keepers.

    > The Oath Keepers are more extreme than nearly all other > white people. Just a fact. Read up on them and I think ? you will agree. Are they more extreme than nearly all other non-white people as well? Or just more extreme than white people? ;-) For non-americans, the idea of a group of people who do not instantly submit to individual figures in authority, but instead, resist those in authority if they believe that those in authority are infringing on rights that are protected by the constitution, may seem really bizarre. To condemn an organization because their raison d'etre is such resistance, would be normal in other countries, but it's a little frightening how a quick google search shows that condemnation here in America (assuming the people who wrote those pages were American). I know a lot of HN readers are not American, so just wanted to clarify that we do have a slightly less submissive culture over here.

Completely ahistorical.
