Southern Poverty Law Center is regarded by many journalists as the gold standard for information on hate groups. But its record is dotted with inconsistencies—it has itself engaged in hateful discourse against some traditionally minded organizations: branding the Family Research Council a hate group is one glaring example. Not as well known are its more subtle ways of emitting bias.
SPLC issued a statement about a federal court judge’s decision against Matt Hale, an imprisoned neo-Nazi who sued the Federal Bureau of Prisons for violating his religious rights; prison facilities monitored his mail ~ U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger of Colorado ruled that Hale’s religion, the Creativity Movement, failed to meet four of the five legal determinants of what constitutes a religion.
Judge Krieger’s decision was a model of excellence: Hale’s “religion,” she said, was essentially a secular philosophy, and a hateful one at that.
The issue for the Catholic League is why SPLC, which accurately cited Hale’s hatred of Jews and African Americans, didn’t mention his anti-Christian, especially anti-Catholic, animus. A check of its many reports on Hale, and his predecessor, Ben Klassen, found scant mention of either man’s hatred of Christianity, in general, and almost no mention of his hostility to Catholicism.
Hale is serving time for soliciting a hit man to kill a federal judge. A failed lawyer, he is a real wacko. According to SPLC, “He never had a serious job, sported a Hitler wristwatch and used an Israeli flag as a doormat outside his room [he spent almost his entire life living in his father’s house in East Peoria].
Hale headed the Church of the Creator once its founder, Klassen, committed suicide in 1993. Hale renamed it the World Church of the Creator in 1996, and in 2003 it became known as the Creativity Movement...

Bottom line: SPLC blew their credibility long ago. They can’t be trusted even if they somehow tell a truth. /S
Somebody needs to post Captain Obvious.
Actually the sins of SPLC should be brought up over and over. SPLC has a better reputation than it deserves.
Really? No chit Sherlock title of the day. d:^)
I would like ot know why that hate group is still around. After they said the Family Research Council was hate group a left wing nut went in there and shot the place up,a nd all because the hate group of the SPLC started it.
SPLC has always had an eye out for the cha-ching, and always been malevolent and censorious. Some of their targets have been rotten - out of so many that is bound to happen - but so are they, and they always have been.
Oh, yeah...
KEK!

The money. They fill their boots coming and going.
BIAS?
I think they inserted an I and A.
Isn’t it a Soros organization?
SPLC is a group composed of pedophlles, commies and ex-cons. The founder (whose name I have blocked from my mind) abusedhis daughter sexally for years. Don’t believe me? It’s all in the divorce documents. A few minutes of searching wiil find it for you.
SPLC=Communist Front Organization.
No. SPLC was founded by Morris Dees, an attorney. I can’t blame Soros on this one.
.
The SPLC is itself a Leftist hate group and entirely lacking in credibility.
Or possibly No Sh!t Sherlock.
true
Its the ACLU under a different name.
Dees isn’t financed by Soros?
I want to say somebody wrote about this in the past, but I might not be correlating the correct organization.
