SPLC GETS CATHOLICS REMOVED FROM AMAZON SMILE
Church Militant ^ | 4/25/2018 | David Nussman

Posted on 04/27/2018 7:14:11 AM PDT by risen_feenix

Amazon.com has removed a Catholic group from its donation feature.

The AmazonSmile Participation Agreement states that certain categories of organizations are not eligible to participate in AmazonSmile. We rely on the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which charities are in certain ineligible categories. You have been excluded from the AmazonSmile program because the Southern Poverty Law Center lists Saint Benedict Center Inc in an ineligible category.

Amazon, following the lead of Facebook, Twitter and Google, have now enlisted the noted left-wing, George Soros funded and directed Southern Poverty Law Center to determine who are "hate groups".

The result: religious groups who follow Christian doctrine and have the temerity to speak out against transexuals, gay marriage, etc., are now "official" hate groups.

Drop Amazon, and if you must shop online, then start shopping online at Walmart.

I would think Jeff Bezos would be angry and upset that some outside group of agitators could manipulate his business in this horrible manner.

But Jeff is an idiot leftist. I’m sure he was happy to insult Catholics like this.

What a damning statement. I had NO IDEA they did that. That is one of the scummiest, most intellectually bankrupt official statements I have EVER heard from an American company, and I have heard a lot.

Brother André Marie said:

[T]his accusation is preposterous and is easily met by the multiple Jews who have interacted with us and who simply don’t believe it. As one Jewish newspaper reporter told me, after covering the story for a while, “I knew you weren’t an anti-Semite when I first met you.” A Jew who is currently undergoing instruction to become a Catholic has told me how incredibly charitable he finds us here. He knows that the message is conversion, and that message is for everybody, including Jews.

probably reasonable advice:

Drop Amazon, and if you must shop online, then start shopping online at Walmart.

Even the SPLC’s “damning” investigation of the Center has, at most, a half-dozen out-of-context “quotes” from clergy and lay persons at one point associated with the Center.

The major “hate crimes” are:
- one of more associated persons at some point questioning the veracity of the entirety of the Holocaust story;
- support of traditional (pre-Vatican II) Catholic teachings;
- exposing some of the virulently anti-Christian and xenophobic teachings in the Talmud (of which there are plenty); and
- that some people associated with the Church like and own firearms.

If the SPLC targeted black groups with the same ‘hate’ used against traditional Americans, ‘liberals’ would be outraged.

Student cries KKK — except it was a sheet over lab equipment
Jan. 2017

A Bowling Green State University student falsely identified a cover for a piece of equipment as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. After seeing a white, pointy figure in a classroom window, the student took to Twitter to post the image and dramatically stated there was an “ACTIVE KKK group” at BGSU. After the university looked into this claim, they discovered what the student tweeted was a cover on a piece of lab equipment. Whoops.

Black student sent threatening ‘KKK’ messages
Jan. 2017

A 14 year-old African-American student was disciplined for sending a threatening tweet to her high school under the Twitter handle “@KoolkidsKlankkk.” The message read “We’re planning to attack tomorrow.” But a police investigation found the Twitter account was run by progressive student activists.

Another anti-Muslim hate crime claim bites the dust
Jan. 2017

A day after the election of President Trump, a female San Diego University student claimed she was approached by two men in a parking garage stairwell who invoked the name of the newly elected president “before attacking [her] and stealing her car.” The student claimed that these men said things like “Now that Trump is president get ready to start fleeing.” Turns out, she had forgotten where she parked. After police in January disproved her claim, the student “decided not to pursue charges.”

Prosecutors won’t file charges against Muslim student’s hate-crime hoax
Feb. 2017

The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office in February decided not file charges against a University of Michigan student accused by the Ann Arbor Police Department of a hate-crime hoax. In November, a female University of Michigan student told police days after the election that a white man demanded she remove her hijab or he would set her on fire. Without any proof, the U of M Division of Public Safety and Security issued an alert, calling the incident an act of “hate and intimidation.” But authorities determined it never happened.

Hate crime hoax alert: Capital University student confesses
Feb. 2017

A Capital University student confessed to “submitting multiple false reports to campus police” after campus police asked him if he had written a hate-filled note taped to his own door. He confessed that he had been seeking “notice” for at least two years. In 2015, he pulled a similar stunt, and the school responded with an inclusivity march. The student added that he wished “that those who feel his actions have delegitimized the reporting of hate crimes will forgive him.”
