The SPLC is just a shakedown outfit. Grifters, the lot of them.

It has been a con for at least the last 3 decades and probably longer.

β€œ It has been a con for at least the last 3 decades and probably longer.”

It started out with a couple young attorneys during the Civil Rights era. It devolved into the scam outfit it is today shortly after the Civil Rights Act was signed into law.

Weren’t the alien and sedition acts used against the founder because they were a Comintern agent? It’s either them or the ACLU....

Wow history repeats itself, I remember this coming out in the early 80s when Morris Dees was in charge. I think they were investigation religious groups and others at that point.

I have lived near Montgomery since the 60’s. SPLC is the lowest of the low. I have known several people that have worked there. No decent person stayed long. They were terrible to the people that worked there.

Welcome to the party, Stossel.

We came to that conclusion around 30 years ago down here in Alabama.

a money grabbing slander machine
In its 1964 New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision, the Warren Court overturned precedent by asserting (9-0 with enthusiastic concurrences) that the First Amendment modified libel law. But in reality it was never intended to do any such thing. It would have been just as logical to assert that it overturned pornography law, for instance - and even the Warren Court never asserted any such thing. It was too obvious that overturning pornography prohibitions would have been hugely controversial - both in 1964 and in the founding era.

The mission of the Bill of Rights, far from being intended to make controversy by modifying the rights of the people, was to reassure the people that their rights were not being changed. Thus the First Amendment refers to β€œthe” freedom . . . of the press. Freedom of the press, that is, as it already was recognized. And was already limited by libel and pornography law in the states.

The Sullivan decision must be overturned, allowing public officials to vindicate facts in court.
