Southern Poverty Law Center: ‘Our Aim in Life Is to Destroy These Groups, Completely’
PJ Media ^ | 09/01/2017 | Tyler O'Neil

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has gained traction in recent weeks, but contrary to media reports, the group does not exist to "monitor hate groups" but to destroy groups that it targets for "strictly ideological" reasons. In light of large donations from Apple, J.P. Morgan, and George Clooney, and CNN's favorable coverage of the SPLC, Americans should learn the real motivations behind this far-left organization.

In the words of SPLC former spokesman Mark Potok (who spent 20 years as a senior fellow at the SPLC and only retired this year, according to LinkedIn), the group does not exist to monitor hate groups.

"Sometimes the press will describe us as monitoring hate groups, I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, completely destroy them," Potok declared at an event in Michigan in 2007.

Sounds like a hate group to me.

Looks like it pays pretty well, too:

These are their buildings in Alabama. It has fountains around it, too, really expensive.

His legal beginnings are very counter-intuitive.

He started out as a lawyer for the KLAN.

That probably doesn't sound plausible.

I think that was what was stated in Rules for Radicals and “Uncle” Joe Stalin’s (to FDR communists) approach to any opposition.

Sounds like they are the ones who should be completely destroyed with all remnants destroyed as well.

Since they can’t even come close to that, it gives them an everlasting grievance raison d’etre.

They should not be feared. They should be scorned.

Has anyone posted a detailed map of all employees of SPLC, where they live and where their children go to school?

It is only fair

Shouldn’t their aim be to reduce or eliminate poverty? Then they wouldn’t worry about inanimate objects like statues whose destruction doesn’t put one piece of bread on a poor family’s table.

Destroy Nation of Islam?
Destroy Communist Party USA?
Destroy La Raza?
Destroy AntiFA?
Destroy CAIR?

No?

Why the blindside to the militant seditious hateful Left?
