The American Border Patrol, another civilian group that turns immigrants crossing the U.S. Mexican border over to authorities and is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, says donations are up 25 percent.

If supporting the laws of this nation makes one a 'hate" group, I plead guilty.

To quote the vivacious, slender, blonde, conservative `bombshell' (who shall not be named, because I cannot post pictures) a "bigot" or "racist" is:
" . . . . anyone beating a liberal in an argument."

The American Institute of Philanthropy evaluation of The Southern Poverty Law Center:

A grade of F because they spend only 51 to 65% of income on services, and continue to fundraise though it's $137 million in assets equal six years of operating expenses.

The Montgomery Advertiser on The Southern Poverty Law Center:

Former employees reported experiencing or observing racial discrimination on the job; The legal department had only employed two black attorneys on staff during the first 23 years of operation; From 1984 to 1994 they raised $62 million in contributions but spent only $20.8 million on its anti-poverty and anti-discrimination programs; A fundraising letter that raised several million dollars for them claimed the Center's legal team secured a $7 million victim's settlement against the Ku Klux Klan for the lynching of Michael McDonald, however McDonald's family only saw $52,000 of the settlement; a former legal fellow with the Center told the newspaper that the Center's legal department operates "as though the sole, overriding goal is to make money."

Harper's Magazine on The Southern Poverty Law Center:

Morris Dees doesn't need your financial support. The SPLC is already the wealthiest 'civil rights' group in America. One sales pitch, sent out when the center had more than $60 million in reserves, informed would-be donors that the "strain on our current operating budget is the greatest in our 25-year history;" it spends twice as much on fund-raising as it does on legal services for victims of civil rights abuses; most alleged "hate" groups on the center's list are non-violent and 95 percent of hate crimes are committed by "lone wolves."
