Recently, a few cows have been brought up to light who identify themselves as being part of this strange group of people, most notably John Ritzheimer and Martin Lindstedt. I believe that there's probably more of these clowns out there right for making fun of, but I've been doing some reading on this Militia Movement and it's quite spergy in itself. Check out what the ADL had to say about them:
The militia movement is a relatively new right-wing extremist movement consisting of armed paramilitary groups, both formal and informal, with an anti-government, conspiracy-oriented ideology. Militia groups began to form not long after the deadly standoff at Waco, Texas, in 1993; by the spring of 1995, they had spread to almost every state. Many members of militia groups have been arrested since then, usually on weapons, explosives and conspiracy charges. Although the militia movement has declined in strength from its peak in early 1996, it remains an active movement, especially in the Midwest, and continues to cause a number of problems for law enforcement and the communities in which militia groups are active.

Lately, the movement has been featured in various recent news articles, including this one from Raw Story and this interesting interview.
Reading through one of the links, some of these assholes have been inspired by a book that well known white nationalist William Luther Pierce wrote called The Turner Diaries.
