According to a report released by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of U.S. hate groups has grown -- fed by antagonism toward President Obama, the economy and the changing racial demographics of the country.
The SPLC recorded 1,018 hate groups last year. Anti-gay groups have increased from 17 to 27 since 2010, and the number of groups whose ideology is organized against specific racial, religious, sexual or other characteristics has risen as well.
