Wow, you've got to kidding.....
I'm tried of the lies on the right, big time, go away with your "facts".....
True this gentleman was accused of a hate crime...in a similiar way that Tom Metzger was.(in the USA, even though it was in civil court)....however, he was never arrested......and the conviction was thrown out on a 2nd trial....
the folks in the Canada forum will have fun with your "facts" if the first two responses are any indication......

Default They are an anti-hate group.

Any group that fights against Klanlike organizations and behavior, is certainly NOT a "hate group." They have a morally superior charter than that of the conservative party. They are part of the SOLUTION.

Any group or person that fights back against hate and bigotry is right to do so, not a group or person of hate. Thinking otherwise is absurd and arguing differently is meant to be a distraction.

From everything I've read, no, they aren't a hate group.

I do know that a lot of Christian groups dislike them, because they've filed lawsuits for the separation of church and state. However, that doesn't make them a hate group.

Yes it is. So if there are guardians in this nation, why has the GOP systematically attacked and undermined every single check and balance America has got? They're attacking cop salaries for crying out loud.

Eh...Canada has its flaws, but Nazi Germany did indeed throw people in prison for their beliefs. And do a bit more beyond that. Let's keep things in perspective.

I can't really say if they're a hate group or not. They're definitely a fringe left wing organization and employ some pretty odd and less than credible people. Extremist, anti american, probably. A hate group? That's pushing it.

Anti-American?


Explain how anything they SPLC does could possibly be interpreted as "anti-American."

Canada throws people in prison too, so what is the difference? It is just the media has demonized the Nazi's, but not the Canadian government.

It just shows they have a real wraped view of liberty and freedom.
