Last week the Southern Poverty Law Center published its quarterly magazine Intelligence Report. This issue, titled "The Year in Hate," focuses on how "Nativist rage fuels rise in hate groups," a phenomenon that we reported on here.

The icons on the map would be kinda' cute if they weren't so, well, hateful.
