Bombing used to slam patriots as 'hate' group

Tea partiers wouldn't have done it, because victims weren't 'black'

The reason it’s unlikely a tea-party, patriot or right-wing group perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombing is because the victims weren’t “black people or Jewish people or gay people or Muslims,” claimed a senior fellow of the Southern Poverty Law Center earlier this week.

The SPLC – a left-wing, nonprofit organization that describes itself as dedicated to fighting “bigotry” and monitoring domestic “hate groups” – keeps an eagle eye on tea-party, patriot, Christian, gun-rights and right-wing organizations, often insisting their fires are fueled by racism and hatred, rather than politics or policy.

SPLC Senior Fellow Mark Potok continued the narrative in an interview on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Live” earlier this week, when the host asked Potok if the Boston bomber was more likely to be a lone wolf or part of an existing group.

“It’s more likely to be a lone wolf, these kinds of things, at least in the radical right. The non-Islamic radical right, they don’t tend to be carried out in groups at all,” Potok replied. “It may be, in fact, a home grown radical, but perhaps of the jihadist sort. And the reason I think about that in that way is think about who the targets were. You know, this was not a target that one would associate with a radical right-wing bomber. It was not a government building, it was not the IRS, although it was Tax Day on Monday. It was not a minority group. It wasn’t black people or Jewish people or gay people or Muslims.”

The SPLC paints its listing of official “hate groups” with a broad brush, often lumping in politically or socially conservative organizations with white supremacists and neo-Nazis. For example, the SPLC lists among it’s official “hate groups” the Family

I wonder how they think they can offer any guidelines as to how any conservative would commit such a deed, when a conservative never has done so? No Christian conservative has ever committed such an act, and they sit there smugly speculating as to how this might not have been a Christian conservative because a Christian conservative would have done such and such. Sickening evil people, all they can do is project from what they they would do. Why don’t they interview William Ayres or Kathy Boudin as how it might be done?

The SPLC is the sleaziest organization in America today.

They are shameless in their dishonesty and perpetuate a stereotype of Conservatives that is completely baseless in facts.

No group will whip out the race card faster. They blame all of societies ills on white people even where whites aren't involved and and then have the nerve to call the opposition racist.

Vile disgusting group without the slightest shred of decency.

You might add Amy Bishop, the leftist Obama supporter who killed those people at the University of Alabama (and possibly her own brother).

The graphic was made by someone else.

I doubt the media will issue an apology for getting it wrong once again trying to blame the Right.

Nice pictures, I’m sure. Unfortunately, you’re the only one who can enjoy them since they don’t show up in your post.

Tea Party patriots are responsible citizens growing stronger each and every day.

I tweaked some settings on my (brand new) photo-host.
