That's sad. SNCC (Snick) provided valuable contributions to the civil rights movement - this stuff trashes that legacy. Dreadful.
My concern is about their political 'take'... and I don't mean opinion. Before Hillary did her wonderful slip about the 'vast right wing conspiracy' the Southern Poverty Law Center was working with groups giving seminars to police officers ( Top Cops ) explaining that 'the enemy' was right wingers - middle-class, middle aged white men who used words like 'constitution ... they told police officers that the right wingers moved up the organizational ladder by killing police officers. Now of course on the surface it looked a little silly - when a police officer is murdered, EVERYONE - the press, citizens - everyone - knows about it - and there are public hunts for the killer - and thousands attend the funeral.
It's not a private affair.
Also the MSM covers stories of cops being killed. So IF this was happening - random murders of police officers - the information would be out there. And it wasn't. Because it wasn't happenign. That didn't stop the Southern Poverty Law Center from putting out this lie - and pitting police officers against their most loyal supporters.
It was a beautiful system - people would be afraid to stand up to the rumor - for fear they would be labeled. Also, when it's 'a secret' it isn't looked at too closely. The press - liberal that they are - would have caught the obvious fabrications - and reported on it. Then - thank God, Hillary let it slip and the country started laughing at liberals and their 'black helicopter' stuff - and the crisis ended. Even the MSM said 'where's the proof'. That was the final straw.
But the fact that the SPLC was in on this - the most totalitarian move I've seen in my lifetime - was telling...
The Advertiser story was even nominated for a Pulitzer.
This all happened roughly within the timeframe of Hilary Clinton's on-air meltdown.
