It’s OK to identify a bona fide threat. It’s quite another to erect a straw man for cheap political purposes. That is what is being done here, and I’m not accusing you.
Morris Dees has a long history of exploiting situations by making them seem more than they are. He has an inroad with a couple of Spokane area reporters (Bill Morlin, mainly) and uses them as conduits for his projects. Watch, this one will end with him as the savior.
