Oddly enough, NA wasn't one of those things more than the scale of it. I can easily see a some wacko with some brains doing something like that.
New America in T2K is pretty closely cloned off of the real life National Alliance and their leader, William Pierce (whose only real main stream notice or notoreity is that he authored the Turner Diaries that Timothy McVeigh was fond of) -- only with the membership (and, I assume, the prep for the apocalypse) cranked up a lot.

If I remember right, Pierce even maintained a retreat in West Virginia, a la Hughes in Kidnapped before his death and the subsequent collapse of National Alliance into squabbling factions and such.
