From the Southern Poverty Law Center: "The backlash [following Obama's victory] was evident in the aftermath of the election as scores of racially charged incidents--beatings, effigy burnings, racist graffiti, threats and intimidation--were reported across the country."
"At least two hate groups--Stormfront and the Council of Concerned Citizens--said their websites crashed because of heavy traffic. Stormfront also claimed to have gained thousands of new members immediately after Obama was elected on Nov. 4."
