I couldn't find this article posted, since it mentions FR, I thought it should be, though it is a month old.

Lately SPLC talking points are being used by REPUBLICANS against most of us to pass amnesty!

[snip]At the heart of the attack is the accusation that the leading members of some groups critical of immigration policy were or still are environmentalists and liberals. This attack piggybacks on earlier work by the Southern Poverty Law Center that used some of the same information to accuse those groups of being tied to Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups. There’s something rather strange when “conservative sites” not only begin advocating for illegal alien amnesty, but begin repeating the claims that the Center for American Progress, Mother Jones and the Southern Poverty Law Center were making about anti-immigration groups 5-10 years ago. The same Norquist tactics being used to attack the anti-immigration movement can and will be used to attack the Counterjihadist camp. http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=Splc

So despite any corroborating evidence, patriotic, liberty-minded Americans who discuss politics on websites like FR are immediately suspect and should be investigated by DHS?

GFY SPLC!

Does this organization get government money or is it privately funded? If it DOES get government money, someone needs to shut it down...and NOW!

Maybe Morris Dees has finally become impotent and quit screwing his son's, friend's and family's wives. And maybe he's found some modicum of honesty in his later years...NOT! He has to demonize the right to keep his sugar teat coming.

The point that seems missed, is that our ‘conservative tea party’ elected legislators, like Rubio with the help of Grover Norquist is using SPLC talking points against us to pass amnesty!

Fricking NAZI scumbags. Nothing but useful idiots. If the hardline commies ever do succeed in taking over the US, these useful idiots would be among the first to the gulags.

These guys crack me up. If anybody (like FR) calls them on their crapola, they put them on the "hate threat list."

They remind me of Psycho (Francis) in Stripes - "You just made the list!"

if an organization splinters in a faction fight that shows up as growth, but if two smaller groups join forces it looks like shrinkage

Especially if they meet in cold water.

“Does this organization get government money or is it privately funded? If it DOES get government money, someone needs to shut it down...and NOW!”

Well, they are a ‘non-profit’, so I’m sure they get grants, especially from this administration. And as long as the GOP DEPENDS on them and approves of their conclusions, WHO is going to stop them???

SPLC is a privately run “nonprofit” set up some years ago by a shyster lawyer named Morris Dees. He saw how Black leaders were making money crying racism and knew he could do the same as he had a background in mass marketing. He set up SPLC and makes money by sending out mass mailings of alerts about what he says are racist or right wing dangers. Most on the list are not a threat or way old and gone. Of course every alert is a fundraising plea, most of the money raised goes to Dees and his few top employees.

the center is hyping a 7 percent increase in another category: what it calls "conspiracy-minded antigovernment 'Patriot' groups." The SPLC's definition of "Patriot" is pretty broad: The list ranges from the conservative websites WorldNetDaily and FreeRepublic.com

Holy crap. So now, presenting and/or discussing the news is a terrorist act?

The SPLC *IS* a terrorist organization.

The SPLC called the Center for Immigration Studies a “Hate Group” a year or two ago.

I believe it also called “Numbers USA” a hate group.

The best way to stop that kind of political libel and slander is a serious lawsuit with serious monetary damages.

Instead, CIS and Numbers just put out feckless denials that the average voter never hears about.

The ‘Southern Poverty Law Center’ is more a terrorist origination than most any of theses ‘groups’.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is an extremist organization. They should put themselves on the threat list. I mean, look how psychotic they make already unstable liberals act.

They are as dangerous as they come, especially that wack-job Mark Potok.

Actually, Jim, they are pretty smart.

They collect millions of dollars a year from little old church ladies and liberals across the country by scaring them over nonsense.

They have over $100mm in cash that the three dirtbags who run the place use to pay themselves and their expenses, while they hire idealistic young lawyers to work for them for a song to do all the "research."

It's a brilliant scam they've been milking for forty years.

I've met Morris Dees. He lives like a king and pays no taxes.
