Southern Poverty Law Center Facing ‘New Reality,’ Calls Trump Advisers ‘Far-Right Extremists’

(CNSNews.com) – The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that has been praised by Obama’s Justice Department for combating “domestic extremism” and designates groups on a “Hate Map” including some controversial listings of conservative groups, reacted Wednesday to the news of President-elect Donald Trump’s win calling it a “new reality.”

“Today, we’re facing a new reality – a president-elect who has denigrated people because of their race, their religion, their ethnicity, their gender, and more,” SPLC President Richard Cohen wrote. “Our mission is to hold Donald Trump to what he is saying now – that he will be a president for all Americans and that he will work to bind the wounds of division, wounds that his own words have caused.”

“During his campaign, Mr. Trump named far-right extremists as advisers,” Cohen claimed, linking to an article calling Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) a “key politician in the anti-Muslim movement” and citing Sessions’ opposition of President Obama’s plan to resettle Syrian refugees as a reason for this label.

Cohen also claimed that Trump “re-circulated racist and anti-Semitic tweets, gave press credentials to a white supremacist radio host, and refused for months to disavow David Duke after the neo-Nazi endorsed him.”

But like the Obamanites’ inability to even say the words “Islamic extremists”, the SPLC won’t include in its denunciations a group called La Raza/ `The Race’ which has for a motto: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”

I have experience working with government civilians who when they didn’t agree with their military superiors, they would stonewall them. They would try to wait them out until the next change of command. Meanwhile the civilians would band together to ensure that each civilian was in compliance with the “stonewall”. They know that they can’t be fired.

The day after inauguration, President Trump should incorporate the SPLC into the Justice Departments Operation Choke Point, which coerces banks to deny banking services to otherwise legal organizations.

Imagine their surprise when they can no longer take out loans, cash checks, use their credit cards, or keep accounts.

Once the current Operation Choke Point list has been cleared of legitimate and legal businesses, I can imagine a huge number of leftist organizations being added to it.

Granted, some of these are right now too large to quickly stop by denying them banking services. But the leftist organizations funded by each number in the hundreds or even thousands, so for each of these “choked”, a huge number of radical groups will be starved, maybe to death.
