WASPO (an acronym for "We Are Seriously Pissed Off") is an anti-immigration group founded in 2006 by conservative WCOA talk show host Luke McCoy. According to McCoy, the group arose from frustrations over the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States who "seem to be destroying what I have always known as America."[1] The group has been widely derided as a hate group, and the name's similarity to acronym WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) has drawn accusations of a thinly-veiled white supremacist agenda. The group originally had a website, www.waspo.us, but as of March 2007, the site is defunct. From its inception, McCoy intended the organization to expand nationwide, with individual chapters called "nests,"[2] but its current membership is unknown.
