The problem with the group is they outlived their original purpose - but wanted to maintain their power. A paradigm Martin Buber deems ‘evil’... I believe they're becoming a hate group too - they work against ANYONE who's conservative. They paint with too broad a brush and they're stuck in mindsets that are 50 years old. They were also instrumental in the ‘vast right wing conspiracy’ attempted power grab.

I don't see any reason to give them legitimacy by posting their hatred of all things 'not liberal' here...

They had no original purpose other than to create a political platform for Julian Bond.

The SPLC was founded in 1971 - after all the milestones of the Civil Rights movement were historical facts. They were basically a liberal think tank in the beginning.

They didn't file their first anti-Klan lawsuit until 1979 when Dees and Levin realized how much money there was to be made in tort law.
