In 2015, SPLC Spent $20 Million on Salaries, but Only $61,000 on Legal Services

Far-Leftists making money hand over fist while “smearing any group which disagrees with them as a ‘hate group.’” By lumping legitimate groups together with the KKK and neo-Nazis, the Southern Poverty Law Center hopes to destroy all those who dissent from the hard-Leftist agenda.

The Washington Free Beacon exposed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a self-appointed hate group monitor infamous for lumping mainstream conservative nonprofits alongside legitimate hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, keeps millions of dollars in multiple offshore accounts.

Charles Ortel, a former Wall Street analyst and financial adviser known for uncovering a 2009 financial scandal at General Electric also expressed surprise, noting: “It seems extremely unusual for a 501(c)(3) concentrating upon reducing poverty in the American South to have multiple bank accounts in tax haven nations.”

The minimum it paid officers, directors, trustees, or key employees, in base salary in 2015 was $140,000—this in Alabama, a state where the mean salary for religious and education directors (which includes private school principals) was $40,820 in 2015. SPLC president and CEO Richard Cohen was paid $346,218 in base compensation, while SPLC founder and chief trial counsel Morris Dees earned $329,560 in compensation, and $42,000 in additional reportable non-taxable benefits.

FWIW, at least 90% of this "article" was copied from The Ivory Spires of the SPLC “Poverty Palace”.

The acronym BMW stands for “Big Mexican Woman” per Jose Jalapeño.

Only spent $61K in total legal services? That could be corrected if all the entities they falsely label hate groups would sue (individually, not class action). That would force SPLC to spend a great deal more. Defund the left.

Yes, PFR was a one man operation, selling White Power CD’s from a PO Box, but that one man was a “hate group”.

Sounds like one individual @$$hole to me.

Unfortunately, Sessions cannot operate at the lightning speed we all want him to with indictments and convictions galore. As I’ve been informed by someone with insider knowledge, it’s a glacial process. :-|

The Dems operate at lightning speed at Justice because they’re all on the same page with screwing the GOP. It’s harder for Republicans, because the department is infested with Deep Staters whose express purpose is to sabotage the process.
