I remember how a virulent group here at FR used to carry water for SPLC during the Immigration Wars, when the fool Dubya was trying ram through another illegal alien amnesty.
These freepers would cite the SPLC’s garbage in order to label border patriots and immigration control groups as racists, haters, eugenics advocates. The usual lies and smears that the SPLC has always dealt in.
I know exxxxxatly who you're talking about, that poor delusional man.
Well, perhaps there is more than one, but there is one who is waaaay out in front, and he has waved the "SPLC" brand around in my face a couple times, imagining that it makes him super tough.
More recently, after I made a two-line post about hey, perhaps we should stay out of an expensive war with Syria and Iran, while 3k illegals stream across the border every night:
In response he made up a bunch of groundless balderdash about me defaming the JDL --lots of high-volume screaming.
I had never heard of the JDL.
I remember when freepers would be banned for posting any stories about the “Minutemen” going to watch the border.
