I didn't saw that one coming! Is it far-fetched to call this it's Christmas in Mars?

SPLC fires co-founder Morris Dees. I spotted that article from the Montgomery Advertiser via a post on another forum.
https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com...es/3164839002/

Quote:
The Southern Poverty Law Center has fired Morris Dees, the nonprofit civil rights organization's co-founder and former chief litigator.

Dees, 82, started the Montgomery-based organization in 1971.

SPLC President Richard Cohen said in a statement Dees' dismissal was effective on Wednesday, March 13.
Strange it's happen just after there was some article who said then the SPLC have now some assets of a half billion?

My apologies for this bump, I wanted to edit my first post but I was too late to edit it.

I saw this tweet about Morris Dees. Some rumors mention a possible misconduct.

I guess it's only a simple coincidence then the SPLC fired Morris Dees during the same week then Mediamatters go against Tucker Carlson. I repeat; it's only a simple coincidence.

It appears he was molesting his underage step-daughter. Not the least bit surprising from a leftist.

Morris Sleaze.

His organization did some amazing things long, long ago, no doubt. Unfortunately, he appeared to be a terrible human being.

He was a horny guy from day one.....even the book about him (maybe even the one he wrote) say that!

Maybe it's a Southern Thing....like Clinton, Moore, etc???

Well, maybe not (Trump and everyone else).....

In any case he should leave at this point (82!) but I suppose there will be statues of him around the South sooner or later. He probably did as much or more than any native southerner for the poor and disenfranchised in this country.

He was a salesman and marketer...which is what allowed him to succeed. He didn't have to do any of this - he had made a fortune before he was 30.

Just as we would say with many things, time for the new generation to take over. What floated decades ago does not float today..and that is a GOOD thing.

If they have a 1/2 Billion that's great. Still can't start to match the Hate Billionaires in terms of marketing power.

I wonder how long these statues will stay in parks if that video filmed in 1989 will get some trigglypuffs triggered when they'll heard Morris Dees didn't say lots of negatives things about the Confederate flag?

He was a race-baiting scumbag who molested his underage step-daughter.
