known falsehoods. tony perkins, the leader of the family research council has repeatedly and falsely said on national television and elsewhere that we list their group because they oppose homosexuality. they believe homosexuality is a sin and because they oppose same-sex marriage. as perkins knows, that is not true. we criticize them and have listed them as a hate group since 2010 because they put out information like the absolutely false claim that gay men molest children at vastly higher rates than straight men. >> mark, we're going to end it on that note. >> they are depicting gay people as incestuous, evil, perverted and a danger to our nation and so on. we think we're fully within our rights to call them what they are, a hate group. certainly we are not in favor of any violence. >> yeah, i got you. >> tore violence that occurred at frc. >> he's the author of the report. worth looking at that report,

there, texas has 62, florida has 59, georgia has 53 and new jersey has 51. you say -- mark says this is ideology not necessarily violence. you don't agree with that. >> well, i just don't think you should criminalize dissent. there are a lot of crazy people in the country. i get callers who believe all those things on my radio show that mark has talked about. we in fact once a month we do conspiracy day whenever it's a full moon and all the conspiracyists can call in. some of these people have very strange ideas, but to say this is some kind of rising tide of danger and to cite a thousand groups, i mean talking about some of the groups that he cites, it's really problematic for me. one of the things in the press release from the southern poverty law center was a lot of this is because we have a black president. one of the groups they list on their map of hate is the nation of islam. i'm not a louis farrakhan fan by

one of the things was that we had this was because of a black president. now, i'm not a fan by any means but i don't think the nation of islam has been associated with an upsurge in violence and i don't think it's racist against a black president and i don't think it's good at all that mark included the family research and that led to an incident of violence. someone came in and shot a guard at the family research council. >> mark, you did say -- >> and he did say that he saw the name on your website. let me just hold on to that point for a second. let me bring in john. square the circle between what you described, what you've written about his wing nuts and violence. >> well, ali, look, i think what's important to realize is that this is not debating

can from developing its nuclear weapons program. they say the only way to move forward is to get north korea back to the table for dialogue with the international community. our fifth story "outfront," the rise of hate in america. oberland college in ohio suspended classes this week after a student reported seeing someone dressed in ku klux klan robes. it follows a string of recent hate incidents on campus. last august, a 40-year-old ex-soldier turned white supremacist rocker shot up a sikh temple in oak creek, wisconsin, killing six people. you remember that. a few weeks later, a group of georgia men were linked to an anti-government plot to assassinate president obama and it's all part of what the southern poverty law center says is a disturbing trend. a study says the number of anti-government groups are at an all-time high, many driven by the fear the government will strip them of their rights but do the findings add up? "outfront" tonight, mark potoch is author of the report and senior fellow at the law center.
