A politically-skewed activist organization has warned law enforcement officials nationwide of the threat posed by the so-called “Patriot movement.” The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)'s Fall, 2009, issue of the “Intelligence Report” expands those designated as extremists, with alarmist language artificially combining a disparate group. The report said, “Militiamen, white supremacists, anti-Semites, nativists, tax protesters and a range of other activists of the radical right are cross-pollinating and may even be coalescing.” On the SPLC website, one report claims, "anti-government rhetoric spills into the Mainstream," listing conservative celebrities like Sean Hannity and Red State's Erick Erickson as purveyors of "white-hot antigovernment rhetoric." Where did SPLC get the data for that assumption? None other than the leftwingers at Media Matters, where bloggers dismiss every major study on media bias and claim the media favors the right.
Tax protesters and white supremacists have united? Whites and minorities alike who are upset with out-of-control government spending would be shocked to find out that they are “coalescing” with the Ku Klux Klan.
As to the “range of other activists,” the report primarily focuses its ire on the Oath Keepers, an association of military members, veterans, law enforcement officers, and firefighters who reaffirm the oath they took to support and defend the Constitution. If the Constitution is the basis of our government, how does swearing an oath to the Constitution and pledging not to follow unconstitutional orders make one “anti-government?”

The liberals are going to come after the guns first, then lock up those nasty white people who refuse to sing the Obama song and don’t teach it to their children.
SPLC, the legal wing of the Democrat’s KKK.
To the The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC):
“Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!
Also:
“- - - and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” - Revelation 21:8
I’m “coalescing”, and I like it.
Does the SPLC get any government money? If so, the John Birchers need to demand their share, too.
Anybody have the real story? I would assume that making a credible or sincere "death threat' against the President would be against the law and vigorously prosecuted. Am I correct in assuming this is just another leftist made-up argument?
One net that will never be cast by the SPLC is the one they should cast upon themselves, speaking of extremists.
The SPLC—the hate group of all hate groups.
“anti-government” IS the “Mainstream”
Anyone who thinks that race has anything to do with opposing a political agenda is patently ridiculous.
The Democrats and the media know this, but it’s the only defense they have.
Exactly! It would be nice if everyone felt the way you and your family do. Unfortunately many have swallowed the kool aid and believe the dims and Obama are going to perform miracles for them- there are people of all races who believe that and there are people of all races that believe the opposite, and fear for our country. It isn't all about race, but some would like it to be, it fits better with their agenda.
My point is that they will have to lock up far more than just white people.
Uh oh! Looks like I’m in trouble again!
SPLC is and always has been full of crap.
Absolutely true, but unfortunately, statistically untrue. Same goes for the liberal Jewish vote.
No libs will be left if they come.
They get one shot
thanks for posting this. I appreciate knowing that the DEM machine might be wrong in assuming any person not Caucasian is a DEM for life. And, Thomas Sowell, is one of my favorite authors. Brilliant mind...but disavowed by lamestream media.
The leftists made a movie about the assassination of President Bush Jr and the MSM said nothing.
I saw a silly young woman blogger on CNN lasst night (I know, I know...) who talked about these threats and, I quote, "the increase in violence," as if they were common knowledge.
I realize that that is how the Dems fool the rubes, putting the lie out there and repearting it until it's accepted as fact.
Were Thomas Jefferson alive today, the SPLC would be comparing him with Timothy McVeigh.
In this era, it is good to be feared.

The RATs are looking for an excuse for Obummer to declare martial law. He can then declare himself “President for life” and silence the opposition like his buddy Hugo Chavez.
I suspect they are of the impression curses don't really exist ~ but they do. The Univese is not as straightforward as they would like.
You do really need to worry about the politics of someone who "invites you to dinner this evening".
These POS's ought to be in jail.
The KKK isn’t scary enough to generate the cash flow they are used to anymore, so they have to cast their net wider.
The SPLC is as bad if not Worse than the ACLU.
Here is an article tying the Southern Poverty Law Center with the Tides Center and its project to combat “the growing power of the religious right”:
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderprofile.asp?fndid=5184
“The Tides Center’s Board Chairman is Wade Rathke, who is also a member of the Tides Foundation Board. Rathke, a protege of the late George A. Wiley, serves as President of the New Orleans-based Local 100 of the Service Employees International Union, and is the founder and chief organizer of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). “
“Chip Berlet sits on the Board of the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, a Tides Center project formed in 2005 to combat “the growing power of the religious right” and to “fight for the separation of church and state.” Berlet is a senior analyst for Political Research Associates, and has had affiliations with the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Friends Service Committee, the Christic Institute, the Socialist Workers Party, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

“Intelligence Report” = Fund raising time
Exactly. First of all the SPLC raises money by scaring nanny-staters. It's just another lib racket.
Someone should keep an eye on Dees and the SPLC. Why hasn't he gone after groups like the Black Panthers? IMHO, this dude Morris Dees' biography doesn't quite pass the smell test.

then why not start by putting Morris Dees in jail for incest?
