Among the skunks, who will be attacking us for attending TEA Parties and standing up for our rights this campaign cycle will be Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center. He will continually call us a racist Hate Group.
But who is this little twerp and where does he come from?
Morris Dees
Dees is phony hustler who used to defend the Klan but switched sides for the money involved in fleecing sappy liberals. He labels patriotic groups as Hate Groups and liberals throw money at him. It makes them feel good.
As George Wallace’s Coordinator of Youth Activities Dees worked to elect the noted segregationist in 1958.
In 1961, as Dees has written he, “… didn’t think twice” when a Klansman accused of murdering an innocent Black man asked him to be his lawyer. Dees was so eager to take the case he accepted just $500.00 which even in rural Alabama in 1961 was a ridiculously low fee for a murder trial. Dees won the bigot an acquittal.
At 26 Dees was considered a “Klan lawyer” and racist enough to be a candidate for office in Alabama running on the States’s Rights Party.
In 1972 Dees, who … had a national reputation as a great direct mail fund raiser, was for some reason asked by George McGovern to run his campaign’s national direct mail fund raising operation. Dees took one look at the 700,000 names on McGovern’s mailing list and became a liberal!
He was so eager to get the list he agreed to take the job for nothing if he could keep the list…
He has been fleecing liberals by calling us haters ever since. By 2007 the “non-profit” SPLC had amassed $190 million dollars making it one of the most profitable “non-profits” in America….

Isnt it fascinating how good "nonprofits" have it in the capitalist society that they hate so much? I dare them to find a socialist utopia that is so good to rabble-rousing organizations like theirs.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
They performed a character assasination of a local conservative by falsely claiming he took campaign contributions from a white supremecist group. It was only last year that they corrected themselves. And in order to see the correction, you had to read through the loooooong letter they wrote to Congress about this guy. They know most people won't read the whole thing and, thus, will never see the "correction" at the bottom of the webpage.
Can SPLC produce records on how they spent tax-exempt money? Oh, nevermind. The IRS, SEC, FBI, Congress and the GAO can find out (/snix).
SCAM-A-RAMA Morris Seligman Dees, Jr. is co-founder and chief trial counsel for the tax-exempt Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Dees was one of the principal architects of an innovative strategy of using civil lawsuits to secure a court judgment for money damages against an organization for a wrongful act and then use the courts to seize its assets (money, land, buildings, other property) to pay the judgment.
ANALYSIS SPLC'S modus operandi is strikingly similar to the Milberg Weiss law firm's "class action" scam. Read on.
NYP---June 3, 2008 -- Mel Weiss, co-founder and chief trial counsel for the securities law firm Milberg LLP, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for illegally paying clients to file shareholder suits that prosecutors said earned $251 million in lawyer fees. Weiss pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, admitting he helped secretly pay a stable of plaintiffs to file suits 1979-2005. By using them to sue first, the firm was more likely to lead cases and reap larger fees.
"Weiss was widely recognized as the king of the plaintiffs' securities bar," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor. Yesterday's sentence, along with a similar prison term for Weiss' ex-partner, Bill Lerach, caps a victory for the Justice Department in its effort to combat shareholder litigation and the two men who pioneered the modern securities fraud class action.
Weiss, Lerach and their counterparts engineered cases and paid litigants to sue that forced companies to pay $45 billion.........,and damaged millions of stockholders.
Milberg became so feared by corporations that Congress passed a law making it harder to file such suits. Weiss's former law firm dropped him from its name when he pleaded guilty. Lerach made a plea deal in a scheme prosecutors alleged involved kickback payments to plaintiffs in class action lawsuits he and his former law firm brought. Court papers say that the two employed the scheme for more than two decades in 150 cases that brought their firm more than $200 million in fees (that we know of).
Milberg Weiss, the NY law firm where was indicted on conspiracy, mail fraud and money laundering charges in May 2006. In Lerach's agreement to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, Justice Department lawyers agreed not to prosecute him over "election, campaign, or other political contributions" related to shady donations to the John Edwards campaign.
========================================
L/E needs to determine whether collusion and conspiracy to collude occured. For example, SPLC officers may have committed government fraud and may have integrated schemes such as:
(a) misusing reserve accounts, (b) concealing losses, (c) inflating asset values and (d) improperly accounting for transactions, as well as (e) diverting monies into reserve accounts, (f) improperly shifting govt funding to other projects to hide illegal payments, (g) engaging in money laundering schemes, (h) evading IRS, FEC, and US banking laws, and (i) engaging in illegal conversions)

The IRS should relentlessly determine if all income was reported and whether all relevant taxes were paid (stolen money is taxable).

REFERENCE----ANIMAL RIGHTS SHAKEDOWN America's farmers, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, research scientists, fashion designers, and restaurateurs have seen for decades how the animal rights movement is like a mobbed-up shakedown racket.
A Federal judge ruled "animal rights defendants" collaborated to bribe a "barn helper" w/ $190,000 in exchange for his impeached testimony. A "nonprofit charity"---called the Wildlife Advocacy Project---- was used to funnel the money from a law firm to the bribed plaintiff.
