Which leads me to believe that it's just fear and smear journalism, which just means i'm not really worried about it.

I don't think this article is really any different than most articles you see out there. If this guy was a Christian, it would be fair game to bring up his ties to radical Christian groups, if he had such ties. Sure you could argue that just because he has ties to the group, it does not mean that he shares their beliefs. That would be true, but it does not mean that the issue should not be discussed.
By the way, did you read that this guy failed to pay more than 40 parking tickets and had his driver's license suspended twice. He also failed to pay his taxes which resulted in liens being put on his home. You could argue that this guy shows a pattern of disrespect for US laws.
