One of America's oldest and most mainstream conservative organizations – whose membership has included Ronald Reagan and John Wayne – has been designated a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center for opposing illegal immigration, same-sex marriage and affirmative action.
Young Americans for Freedom at Michigan State University will appear on the list in April along with groups tied to racist skinheads, Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
The left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center says its purpose is to combat racism and promote civil rights.
Kyle Bristow, chairman of MSU-YAF, argues his group simply "supports the sanctity of marriage, the unborn, and opposes illegal immigration and race-preferences."
"Our values are not extreme and the SPLC has gone too far by listing us as a 'hate-group,'" he said.

That is bizarre. This one should come back to bite them.
Wouldn't that be legal grounds to sue for slander?

I think the members of the SPLC should be prosecuted under RICO laws.
This is how the left shuts up the opposition....
ANYTHING they say now is considered "hate-speech' and minimized by thier willing allies in the Media.
In short, ANYBODY that doesn't adhere to the Approved Democrat Party/Socialist line is guilty of "Hate".
Number one on MY list of hate groups are the morons down at the Southern Poverty "Law" Center.
You are much too nice. I have other words that I would use to describe those scum sucking dirt bags, but I can't really say it the way I want to.
"..However, Beirich, deputy director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project, said it was several proposals put forward by the YAF's MSU chapter, among them that MSU should defund minority student organizations and that there should be a white student council on MSU's student government, that earned the group a place on the list..."
Is there an African American/Minority Student Council on MSU's student government? Are there any funded student organizations for Whites? Is SPLC against equal protection under the law or equal treatment under school policies? YAF should sue if possible. I bet SPLC backs off fast if they do.
The Southern Poverty Law Center and every scumbag leftest POS associated with it can go pound sand.
The SPLC is a joke. Apparently to them if you're not leftist extremists you're a "hate group."
Is Morris Dees still heading the SPLC? He's made quite a nice living from it....i wish i could post the special my local paper did on him...what a shyster!
Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to illegals in 1986, which makes no sense for SPLC. SPLC is dangerous like the ACLU.

Mark.
Ronald Reagan and John Wayne were *in fact* members of a vicious hate group -
The Screen Actors Guild.
Damned! I wouldn't think to look at a Wikipedia web page to get a scathing description of a leftist organization. It sounds like my original analysis is correct; the SPLC should be prosecuted under RICO laws.
Southern Poverty Law Center = only we're allowed free speech... all else can eat cake.
See how Easily you to can become a terrorist.
