“Hate Group” Charge Doesn’t Require “Hate”
FRC Blog ^ | Aug 29 2012 | Peter Sprigg

Posted on 08/29/2012 7:51:37 AM PDT by scottjewell

..."One homosexual blogger (and regular critic of FRC) did a detailed critique of the FRC Issue Brief. To this final point, he emphasized that the SPLC “hate group” label is not because of our political positions, but because we support those positions by saying things which (they claim) are untrue.

After reiterating this SPLC definition of an “anti-gay hate group,” the writer then says the following:

“Now whether or not FRC hates gays is irrelevant.”

Say what?

“[W]hether or not FRC hates gays is irrelevant” (emphasis added) to the question of whether we are an “anti-gay hate group”?

I certainly appreciate the (implicit) concession that FRC may not, in fact, actually hate homosexuals at all.

If you are going to call someone a “hate group,” however, shouldn’t it be a minimum necessary condition that they actually “hate” someone?

I think this statement—“whether or not FRC hates gays is irrelevant”–is what lawyers call an “admission against interest.” It shows, quite clearly (albeit perhaps accidentally), that the “hate group” label is not meant to be a description of reality."...

Of course it’s irrelevant whether or not you hate gays or anyone else. Now that they have the law on the books that is. Now all they have to do is say you hate, irregardless of your right to speech or assembly or personal feelings, and they can prosecute you for it. That’s the purpose of the current ‘anti-therapy’ law in CA right now.

Also, the fact that heterophobes actually do hate heterosexuals does not make them a hate group.

So the SPLC saying things that are not true is “irrelevant”?

We who have been on the inside/behind the curtain of the SPLC and the ADL for many years knew this, of course. We also knew the level of abysmal stupidity between left ears.

I think I’ll just start dropping out the more amusing examples of my exchanges in militiawatch. Their silly confidentiality tags be d*mned. They’ve gone bonkers.

The biggest hate group is MOSLEMS.

The SPLC is a business masquerading as a nonprofit.

They raise tons of money, spend only a fraction of it on "activism" and most of it on salaries and perks for the handful of people who run it.

It is a direct mail business.

Yes, more or less a front and a scam.

SPLC
I watched BOR interview some SPLC geek last night and BOR let him rant on and on with little or none of his "famous" interruptions. Disgusting.

These people sound like a little kid throwing a hissy fit. “If you don't agree with me, and accept my lifestyle, I'm going to take all of my marbles and go home!”. Although, the more that I think about it, homosexuals are more like socialists proclaiming “accept and endorse my lifestyle, feed my perversion. If not, I will do everything I can to destroy you”. Nihilistic tendencies writ large.

Anyone who supports traditional morality causes gays to recognize what they are doing is wrong and hate themselves.

Thus any group that contributes to gays hating themselves is a hate group. We should all debauch ourselves to the point where gays can actually feel good about themselves. Only then will we not be hate groups.

If only it were that easy. Unfortunately they’re not going away, kind of like a bad rash. The only way to make them back off is to call them out on their behavior, and villify them in the process. You know, the same thing the crazies on the left do, only we’ll explode their brains with facts.
