Did the SPLC declare FRC a hate group in 2010 because of the midterm elections?

The SPLC is nothing more than the Anti-White Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC themselves are a Hate Group.

You are completely right. The SPLC is both a hate group, and a dedicated "enforcer," by intimidation, against anyone challenging the Leftist shibboleths that are undermining traditional society.

It’s time for the FBI to investigate those bass turds at the SPLC to find out what their intentions are. They are a very anti-American group.

Maybe the SPLC decided to come out of the closet in 2010...

I don’t even know what FRC stands for.

Southern Poverty Law Center: Wiki article which actually covers some of the more shaky attacks by the SPLC, as well as some which may have been warranted.

Unfortunately, the SPLC has been selling itself to governmental authorities as an authority on what is and isn't a 'hate group', allegedly in the defense of 'civil rights'.

Note, of course, that their mission has morphed along with the definition of what is a 'hate group' and there is a distinct leftist bias present.

Like other organizations and websites, they have established themselves as an authority on 'hate groups', and have broadened their definition to include an increasing spectrum of people who might previously been considered ordinary.

SPLC stands for Southern Poverty Law Center. They are a hate group targeting white people and Christians, specifically (& I believe, exclusively).

It is my opinion that the attempted mass assault at FRC was indisputably a hate crime. Who will bet me it doesn’t play out that way? (that’s a rhetorical question)

The way I saw it, SPLC didn’t declare FRC a hate group until 2010 because they didn’t have the confidence to do so before then. I believed the situation evolved with the Obama Administration and various advances of the gay rights movement. It seems the “hate group list” was a new tactic in terms of traditional and Christian groups and was also spurred by NOM (National Organization for Marriage).

Yes, the 2010 elections may have had something to do with the timing as well.

In any case, SPLC issued their Special Intelligence Report in the winter of 2010:

“18 Anti-Gay Groups and Their Propaganda”

Addendum:

I meant gay advocacy’s sparring with NOM’s Brian Brown spurred SPLC on to create the hate list; or it seemed to happen in tandem with it.
