The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam
John Stossel YouTube Channel ^ | 16 January 18 | John Stossel

There are dangerous hate groups in America. So a group called the Southern Poverty Law Center promises to warn us about them. They release an annual list of hate groups in America.

The media cover it, but John Stossel says they shouldn't. It's a scam.

The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Ayaan Hirsi Ali — who grew up Muslim in Somalia and suffered female genital mutilation — as an "anti-Muslim extremist." Just because she now speaks out against radical Islam.

They also list the conservative Family Research Council as a "hate group."

That listing led a man to go to the Council's office to try to gun down their workers. The shooter later told law enforcement that he picked the group because he saw they were on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map and he wanted to fight bigots.

The SPLC has been a hate-group for decades, not just recently. I’ve followed them for many years. They routinely run a list of “hate crimes” in the country which are almost always graffiti on restroom walls, and long discredited charges made by people with an agenda or attempting to get a measure of fame or money.

And the “hate” NEVER applies to any of the PC demographics

Always “victims” never perpetrators

And then there’s that nasty lil divorce of Morris Dees

Southern Poverty Law Center is like Captain Kangaroo.

He wasn’t a Captain and he wasn’t a kangaroo.

I’m an anti-Muslim extremist because I don’t want Islam anywhere near my country or relatives.

One must keep in mind that the SPLC is probably
the largest private intelligence gathering organization
in the country, with operatives in every state and city.

Would be interesting to see their files...

There’s Nothing ‘Poor’ About the Southern Poverty Law Center

Sure enough, the Southern Poverty Law Center is based in the South. But is it impoverished? No way – in fact, it’s sitting on millions of dollars. And does it provide legal assistance? Very little, if any. One out of three just doesn’t cut it.

By creating and posting a few years ago what it describes as a “hate map,” the Alabama-based SPLC positioned itself prominently as a resource for those who find it convenient to ignore facts. No less than the FBI discovered that a bit too late. Most people may not know this, but at one time the Bureau used the SPLC’s data to bolster its chronicling of hate crimes. But the FBI now says no, we can’t use SPLC because they have been discredited; they are not a reliable source of information.

Finally, some of this information about the SPLC is starting to come to light. Here’s what Greg Gutfield of “The Five” on Fox News Channel had to say on September 6:

“This ‘poverty’ center has loads of [money]. A $320 million endowment – and chucks almost 20 percent of it into offshore equities – Cayman Island stuff...So this ‘poverty’ group sits on a pile of offshore dough. That’s like a personal trainer with a gut – or a priest with a harem.

“The Center paid out $20 million in salaries in 2015, but provided just $61K in legal assistance. So the Southern Poverty Law Center appears to have no poverty – and do virtually no law. It’s the most misleading name since the Democratic Party.”

SPLC is a gang of faggot lawyers, race pimps, anti-Christian and leftists hustlers that do shakedowns, target leftist opponents, and anything suggesting whites that might be proud of building modern civilization.

And it would be interesting to find out who has access to their files. I’m guessing every white- Chritian-American-hating group on the planet, including foreign powers with the highest bid. SPLC is a criminal wing of the left run by a pack of lawyers and funded by Soros, Homowood, and Muslims.

Why didn’t the FRC sue the SPLC into the next galaxy?

I am truly PISSED OFF at the SPLC, I should think by now that I should be listed as a HATE GROUP OF ONE.

I did not see my name on their list.
