As most conservatives know - or will learn - the left uses inflammatory language to demonize and marginalize anyone or any group that opposes it's goals. Calling a Christian organization that opposes 'gay marriage' a 'hate group' is outrageous. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left organization lo these many years, tries to justify this outrage by claiming the group lies about homosexual people. What they mean is that a member of the Conservative Christian Council once commented that the long-term goal of 'gay rights' groups was to gain access to children. If the SPLC wants to argue that position, be my guest. Just be ready to be confronted by the fact that only recently have gay rights groups tried to distance themselves from NAMBLA, a group that advocates adult men 'persuading' boys to have homosexual relations with the men. NAMBLA has long been considered to be in the mainstream of the 'gay rights' movement, making the observation that a long-term goal of the 'movement' is to make young boys more available for sex with men. The SPLC can argue that this is simply an opinion but anyone who follows the news can see that the majority of pedophilia cases involve men and boys.

The fact remains that a far-left activist organization falsely labeling a conservative Christian activist organization 'a hate group', akin to the KKK, because they oppose 'gay marriage' is despicable and rightly condemned. Too bad this newspaper editorial tries to have it both ways and condemns both organizations almost equally but, to the paper's credit, still puts the onus on the SPLC.

The "news"paper employee's halfhearted attempt at balance was totally wasted and exposed as fake by "hate," a strong word, has been used too loosely -- whether it's Mitt Romney telling President Obama to take his "campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," or the Southern Poverty Law Center lumping a Christian policy group in with hooded bigots.

Obviously the "news"paper employee accepts Obama's wild charges against Romney as fact.

The real news is that some groups are turning "the doctrine of vicarious liability" around and against the SPLC, et al. -- at last!

20+ years ago the SPLC won a civil law suit against Tom Metzger, his son, and his white supremacist group. The suit was on behalf of a victim of a vicious murder by skinheads; the murdered man was a defenseless black man.

"Using the doctrine of vicarious liability, plaintiffs' attorneys argued that the Metzgers should be found liable for intentionally inciting the skinheads to engage in violent confrontations with minorities. A jury agreed, returning a record $12.5 million verdict against the Metzgers and WAR. Tom Metzger was personally responsible for $5.5 million of that sum."

Where do lefties get their hatred? The SPLC? The MSM? The victims' industry? The Rat Party (formerly the traditional Democratic Party)?.. Where?
