Extremist groups are taking rightful grievances against the government and President Obama to a new level by threatening elected local officials. 

The Associated Press says

"The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence by others.

A group that calls itself the Guardians of the Free Republics wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of the government, according to its Web site.

As of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don't leave office within three days they will be removed, according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security…"

There were many who cautioned against the way anti-Obama sentiments were getting racially charged and turning violent, and this was just after he was elected. But then, their concerns were brushed aside. Now, the situation is truly scary.

This group, Guardians of the Free Republics, is an extremist fringe group. According to their website, it is clear that they see Obama's government and his election as "illegitimate" although do not explain why they believe so.

Homeland Security cautioned against the rising threat of domestic terrorism by lunatic groups like these last year. If you remember, the DHS Secretary was criticized for that report. Well, she was right. Sadly.
