LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Kim Davis' lawyer stood onstage in a Washington D.C. hotel and pointed to a photo on the screen. It showed 100,000 people packed into a Peruvian soccer stadium, Mat Staver told the crowd, all there to pray for the Kentucky clerk battling against gay marriage.

The crowd erupted.

It wasn't true.

You see how this works?

The left's esteemed "hate-group experts":

The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the Liberty Counsel as an anti-gay hate groups for spreading false information "A group that regularly portrays gay people as perverse, diseased pedophiles putting Western civilization at risk are way, way over the line," said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the center.

And Barry Lynn, a "minister" and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State spoke up as well.

These groups are fringe, far-left groups which unfortunately get mainstream media attention.

If the extreme left SPLC lists somebody as being a “hate group”, it really doesn’t mean anything. If they don’t like you and you are not in step with America-haters, you are a “hate group.”

You can see how this is all going. Emboldened by the Marxist community organizer in the WH these groups feel they have carte blanche to take the Republic down and set up their own fanciful Utopian state. CWII may just be over the horizon.

You do NOT have to enforce “the law of the land”!!! Sanctuary city mayors don’t. Obama doesn’t. Relax Davis!! Use that defense.

What does labeling someone as a “hate group” have to do with “poverty”?
So, does this labeling lift a single person in the U.S. out of “poverty”?
Are the lives of those in poverty, both in true poverty and government-induced “poverty” (entitlement programs), improved by this group labeling others who don’t share their PC views?

They need to change their name to something else because it is obvious that they care nothing about those in poverty.

The dim-bulb butt munchers feebly attempt to strike back through the AP. Both are so far left we can't see them anymore.

The haters are the ones who aren’t satisfied with getting their marriage licenses at another county in KY. Tolerance isn’t enuf for these people. Their obsession is making Kim pay for not putting them on a pedestal the way o’blamer and his lackey press do.

Guess what haters, the world doesn’t revolve around you and your “needs”.

CWII is on now. It’s in the “low level conflict” phase. Forecast: isolated hails of hot lead, turning to widely scattered showers of brass.

These groups are fringe, far-left groups which unfortunately get mainstream media attention.

Indeed. While using misrepresentations to support a valid cause is wrong and shooting oneself in the foot, AP enlists orgs which do the same.

While SPLC organizes against obvious hate groups such as the KKK or Aryan Brotherhood, it also lumps in conservative organizations in an attempt to intimidate them. For instance, SPLC considers Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) a "hate group", because it opposes illegal immigration, and uses demonstrations as a method, which the SPLC deems intimidation.[17] Similarly, the center labels the immigration reductionist/reformist website VDARE as a "hate group", because it argues against illegal immigration [18].

The SPLC followed Laird Wilson in publishing a list of "hate groups" but after Wilson rejected the usefulness of that approach, the SPLC continued with it, becoming prominent for using it against groups standing for traditional values.[19][20][21] Laird Wilcox, claims to have provided SPLC with some of the information initially used to compile their list of "hate groups". He "concluded that a lot of [the SPLC's hate groups] were vanishingly small or didn’t exist, or could even be an invention of the SPLC." Some of the "hate groups" were creations of SPLC informants, rather than legitimate groups. And with the advent of the internet, some of them exist "nowhere except in cyberspace." Wilcox concludes, "The whole issue of “lists” is full of smoke and mirrors."[22]

In the wake of an August 2012 shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, some columnists criticized the SPLC's listing of the Family Research Council as an anti-gay hate group. Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post, wrote that the SPLC was "reckless in labeling as a “hate group” a policy shop that advocates for a full range of conservative Christian positions." [23][24] Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council,” said, after the attack, “I believe [the gunman Floyd Corkins] was given a license to do that by a group such as the Southern Poverty Law Center who labeled us a hate group because we defend the family and stand for traditional orthodox Christianity.”[25] Capital Research Center states that the SPLC "deliberately mischaracterizes conservatives and tea partiers as “extremists”."[26] - http://www.conservapedia.com/Southern_Poverty_Law_Center

The Liberty Counsel has connected homosexuality to higher rates of promiscuity and incest, Potok said, despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

Which is AP misrepresentation contrary to scientific evidence (studies).

As a group, gay and bisexual men have more sexual partners compared to other men. - http://www.cdc.gov/features/start-talking-stop-hiv/

At the end of 2011, an estimated 500,022 (57%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the United States were gay and bisexual men, or gay and bisexual men who also inject drugs. ...In 2010, gay and bisexual men accounted for 63% of estimated new HIV infections in the United States and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. From 2008 to 2010, new HIV infections increased 22% among young (aged 13-24) gay and bisexual men and 12% among gay and bisexual men overall...

In 2013, in the United States, gay and bisexual men accounted for 81% (30,689) of the 37,887 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older and 65% of the 47,352 estimated diagnoses among all persons receiving an HIV diagnosis that year. - http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html

I think CWII will begin in earnest once the government forbids churches from preaching against homosexual perversion.

This happened in Canada awhile ago.

If they used Potok and the SPLC as a reference then the article has lost all credibility.

Oh Lord; how I hope & pray CWII is not just over the
horizon. My great great grandfather (I’m 69) was a
Confederate at Shiloh. He told my grandmother that
it was “the biggest mess I’ve ever seen, Izora. I
couldn’t even tell how many I killed in all that
confusion!” I was raised with my parents taking me
to Shiloh battlefield. Daddy was in Army Infantry in
WWII. They didn’t want war; but that’s what they got
anyway. - We’re being “ruled” today by elites who
live in gated neighborhoods in opulence. What they
don’t understand is that if we out here in Realville
are overrun by these jihadists; they’re gated
communities are not “safe” either.

If you are against homo “Marriage” you are considered a hater, but if your a half black whack job who kills people solely on the basis of being Christian the media doesn’t call that person a hater

I was going to post that line, up to putting, as the absolute truth.
