Liberal Law Center Ranks ‘#merrychristmas’ as Top Twitter ‘Hate’ Speech on Christmas Day

MONTGOMERY, Alabama, January 3, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The hashtag “#merrychristmas” topped the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) list of trending hashtags on Twitter that it considers to be promoting “hate.”

On December 24, the #merrychristmas hashtag had the # 2 ranking on SPLC’s “Hate Tracker” list. Then on Christmas Day, #merrychristmas was ranked # 1, and on December 26, it ranked # 3.

Along with “Merry Christmas” the SPLC Hate Tracker website recently listed #christmas, #merrychristmaseve and #jesus in its top trends used by what it terms “far-right Twitter users.”

According to SPLC, the Twitter accounts they monitor for “hate” speech “represent a range of extremists – from the conspiratorial fringes of mainstream conservatism to outright white supremacists – who regularly use Twitter as a tool for media subversion, ideological indoctrination and propaganda dissemination.”

“The Hate Tracker detects trends in a community of far-right Twitter users identified and reviewed by analysts in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project,” the group states.

Christian legal advocacy group Liberty Counsel (LC), said that after LC and other media sources challenged the SPLC on the Hate Tracker list, SPLC has since claimed the rankings are created with an automatic feed of popular tweets among those it claims are hate groups.

Obviously, the SPLC hates Christians.

By its own definition, the Southern Policy Law Center is a hate group.

The Southern Enrichment Law Center for Morris Dees is the biggest hate group in the U.S. I know it’s hard to believe, but they put George Soros to shame.

Yep, very hateful. Right up there with “#peaceonearthgoodwilltowardmen.”

Can the SPLC do any more to discredit itself? I mean, who takes them seriously when they pompously declare “Merry Christmas” to be hate speech?

As if proclaiming the “Little Sisters of the Poor” a white supremacist hate group wasn’t enough

It's the Southern POVERTY Law Center.

Thanks. I knew that. I have no idea why I typed “Policy”.

I agree. Have recently been contemplating how miserable and hopeless it must be for so liberals today. They seem to be obsessed with finding and latching onto anything that helps them justify and feed their hate. It is mind-boggling trying to comprehend the level of insanity that one must have to believe the words “Merry Christmas” are hate speech.

Most the pity for them.
