Bingo! This strategy by Southern Poverty Law Center needs to be brought into focus, my Free Republic friends. It is this tactic of denigrating the actions of many by the false charges against a few that needs to be brought to the light of scrutiny.
Morris Seligman Dees, founder and chief trial lawyer of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), is known to be the architect of one of SPLCs most effectiveand most controversialtactics: exaggerating the prevalence and capabilities of racist and extremist right-wing groups operating in the United States in order to frighten supporters into donating money to SPLC. He has been called "a fraud and a conman," interested only in "making a pile of money." I suspect that his organization has been brought into the White House political strategy operations team as a consultant and director of operations against Obama's critics."
SPLC attorney Gloria Browne candidly admitted that the Center's programs were devised to cash in on "black pain and white guilt."
Dees once boasted, "I learned everything I know about hustling from the Baptist Church. Spending Sundays on those hard benches listening to the preacher pitch salvation why, it was like getting a Ph.D. in selling."
One of his group's tactics is suing the leader of a group for the independent actions of one of its members.
Between 2001 and 2004, SPLC was the recipient of 59 foundation grants totaling $3,326,425. The donors included: the Ford Foundation (run by SDS Commie Tom Hayden), the Open Society Institute (George Soros) and the Public Welfare Foundation.
I would suspect that the race card playbook is being studied very carefully by the Obama Regime, with the help of the Dees organization, to put forth a full court press on the Tea Party Movement.
Tom Hayden runs the Ford Foundation?! Good Lord!!
