Abstract

Militia Forum
Levitas, Daniel | July 10, 1995 issue

add to cart   close window

If Senator Arlen Specter had been half as hard on the militia movement as he was on Anita Hill, his recent Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the militias might have truly discredited the radical right. Instead, the inquiry became a soapbox for the patriots rather than the critical forum that was so badly needed. Aired live on CNN and C-SPAN, the session like past congressional hearings on right-wing groups will only bring the militias new recruits. True, Senators Max Baucus and Carl Levin opened the hearing with strongly worded denunciations of the militias, and federal and state law enforcement officials unanimously concluded that the militias were disturbing and dangerous.
