The Southern Poverty Law Center,a liberal civil rights organization, cited Stephen Bannon by name as a "purveyor of white nationalist propaganda" in a fundraising letter it sent soliciting help in fighting back against hate groups. Further, Dees says Trump's victory has been interpreted as a "license to harass and intimidate minorities."

Morris Dees, Mark Potok and Richard Cohen of the SPLC

Latest Fundraising Letter:

"

The letter, penned by SPLC co-founder and Chief Trial Counsel Morris Dees, started the letter by making a clear reference to President Donald Trump: "White supremacists believe they have their man in the White House."

And Dees also targets conservative Bannon, President Trump's chief White House adviser.

"We're pushing back against radical-right extremists who are attempting to hijack our democracy — exposing people like Stephen Bannon, a purveyor of white nationalist propaganda," Dees wrote.

Further, Dees says Trump's victory has been interpreted as a "license to harass and intimidate minorities."

"We have to unite and fight back with every resource we can muster against these hatemongers — because we've seen how their racism and bigotry poisons our democracy and leads to violence and discrimination," Dees wrote

Morris Dees is a born salesman who was a committed capitalist before he entered elementary school. “When I was 5, I bought a pig for a dollar. I fattened it up and sold it for $12,” he once told People magazine. “I always had a feel for making money.”

When his mother sent him a fruitcake his freshman year in Tuscaloosa, Morris and classmate Millard Fuller wrote other students’ parents offering to deliver freshly baked birthday cakes. Soon they were selling 350 cakes per month. By the time they left law school, they were making $50,000 a year—$400,000 in today’s dollars.

After graduation, Dees and Fuller hung out a shingle and practiced law. But the real money came from their mail order business, peddling everything from cookbooks to tractor cushions. In 1969, Dees sold the direct-mail firm to the Times Mirror Co. for $6 million. By then, Fuller had cashed out, given away his money, and with his wife gone to live a Christian life building homes for the poor—efforts culminating in the creation of Habitat for Humanity.

Dees also started a nonprofit, which he named the Southern Poverty Law Center. But he gave up neither the high life nor the direct-mail business. He lives in luxury with his fifth wife and still runs the SPLC, which has used the mail-order model to amass a fortune. Its product line is an unusual one: For the past 47 years, Morris Dees has been selling fear and hate.

In the last 30 years the SPLC has done almost more to grow antisemitism than most saudi funded NGOs.

Throw in George Soros and Zuckerburg and you have the Trifecta of doom. At least on the bright side, Bob Iger of Disney wants to run for President. Oh wait, that’s not bright. Never mind.

There is no group more clearly bigot driven than the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Recognize The Bigot In The Argument.

a liberal civil rights organization

They're nothing of the sort.

It's a shakedown scam organization that uses the FBI to target people and groups that they think can be used to get money.

They're right up there with the owner of the New York Times. It's the same names we hear day after day, spouting the same nonsense day after day after day. If they were "no longer here," what a peaceful, quiet and jolly place this would be. Imagine if people were freed from the psyops of these freaks, if men were unfettered to reach their potential without the daily guilt. We would be on Pluto by now. Condos on Pluto.

Geez. That Dees clown has a longer horse face than John, “I went to Vietnam” Kerry. I didn’t think that was possible.

The SPLC has a collective IQ somewhere between that of Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi.

What are the specifics of what Bannon has allegedly done or said? Shouldn’t anyone or any organization have to cite what the allegation is based on or be sued for slander? I sure wish Bannon would take them on.

It certainly isn’t enough to shoot off your mouth without anything to substantiate such a claim. What is his?

We were never taught in any school that huge amounts of money could ruin this country and that’s what they’re getting away with!

Bannon is simply a target. If it weren’t successful Bannon, it would be Barron Trump they would be after. I mean, there has to be no proof, or any example, of wrong doing for the Left to slander loud enough and often enough to make a lie become true in the media.

Breitbart has nailed the Left for years, ever since Andrew Breitbart was living and active. The Left despises Breitbart news and wants it burned. Bannon was associated with it, bigly. He was perfect for it. Bannon is an in-your-face type, as well. The Left despises him for grinding them down and out of rolling over Americans.
