You've read about him. You've seen him on TV. A sappy network TV movie about him, starring Corbin Bernsen, is now doing re-run hell on the Lifetime Channel.
To believe the conventional wisdom, Morris Dees, Jr. is a brave man who protects Blacks and Jews against White Supremacist Klansmen.
That's the PR, anyway. The truth is otherwise.
The real Morris Dees, chief of the misnamed Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), is using our courts to take American land from Americans and give it to illegal aliens.
If this is the new civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. must be turning over in his grave.
It's beyond outrageous.
Two miles from the border with Mexico, U.S. citizen Casey Nethercott's dream ranch is now the property of Edwin Alfredo Mancia Gonzales and Fatima del Socorro Leiva Medina, both illegal immigrants from El Salvador.
And Nethercott didn't sell it to them. They took it by force, after trespassing on it to sneak into the U.S. All orchestrated by Dees.
Dees' legal squad used American courts to put Nethercott in jail and transfer his property to the illegals he tried to keep out.
According to the New York Times, Nethercott bought the Arizona ranch, "Camp Thunderbird," in 2003 for $120,000, his entire savings. He used the 70-acre property as headquarters for Ranch Rescue, a group like (and connected with) the Minutemen, which tries to keep our borders safe--since our government will not.
In March 2003, Nethercott and Ranch Rescue caught Mancia and Leiva sneaking into the country on a ranch near the Texas border. Even Mancia and Leiva admit that the Ranch Rescue members gave them cookies, water, and a blanket, and let them go after an hour.
But they accused Nethercott of threatening them and hitting . . .

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Someone ought to sue Dees and Southern Poverty Law Center and put them in bankruptcy.
Ralph Klein solution anyone?
Sends a real nice message to the illegals doesn't it? I suspect we'll see increase in the accusations by them.
What's a Ralph Klein solution?
Google it - moderators strike the quote.
Morris Dees is a charlatan, and a demagogic race huckster. He probably suffers from a severe case of White Guilt also.
I find it disturbing that Fox News often has this guy on and never calls him on his extremism and character assassination tactics. Even Mr No Spin Zone himself has had this creep on his show and treated him like a genuine defender of civil rights, instead of what he really is, which is someone who goes looking for racism and who will find it whether or not it actually exists or not.
I wonder if freedom of speech includes shooting someone in protest. I mean, if it's ok to burn the American flag .....
Read the whole piece at Schlussel's site. It is even more disturbing. This Dees is a real scumbag. I feel so bad for what happened to the Nethercott family. I'd post the whole Schlussel column, but she has asked me if they are longer posts to only post excerpts so that people will go to her site to read the whole thing.
"Morris Dees is a charlatan, and a demagogic race huckster."
A few years back some of Dees employees made exactly that accusation against him. He's been pretty quiet since then but apparently feels safe now.
Time to call the "Vigilante Squad!"
Schlussel who wrote this is Jewish. I think she may even be a religious Jew.

I have nothing against anyone being Jewish.
My best friend and Godfather to my doughter is Jewish.
I mearly stated that there are people and groups who are supporting the tearing down of traditional America.
It just so happens that many of the anti-American supporters of the ACLU happen to be lawyers who profess to being Jews when it is convenient.
I would but it'd just make me madder ......
These undocumented plantiffs are just suing guys
that Documented citizens wont sue, thats a good
reason to keep letting them come here. All kinds of stuff that normally wouldnt get done is gonna get done by the guys that do that stuff.
Welcome to the wild wild west America. Soon the quickest draw will once again be the highest law. Gun control will have shot itself in the foot. Political Correctness rides again!!
If the ranch owner would have just taken care of business rather than call the BP, well hell, he'd still have his ranch and he wouldn't be in jail would he?
