Hypocrisy of the Southern Poverty Law Center (spokesman, Jesus, terror)

[mayita]

SPLC has a lot of black separatist groups and other than non-white separatists groups on their files.

But they are still outnumbered by the white separatist/nationalis/neonazis

You mean Rev. Wright who worked practically his whole career within a predominately (94%+) white denomination.

Every wacko with their political opponents? This country has more than its quota of "wackos" so I find your argument not only hyperbolic but incredulous as well.

Keep in mind that I said they were "sleazy".

That's fine with me, I don't care if they are sleazy as you define it or not.

Also, for a group that is supposed to be about collecting intelligence on violent hate groups, they do seem to focus a lot of information that seems to have f--k all to do with that goal. Like this "Intellligence Report":

Who We Are
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society.

What am I missing?

Those of us the LGBT community are grateful for the Southern Poverty Law Center for identifying anti-gay groups that seek to defame our community.

Prejudice, ignorance, intolerance, and discrimination is something that gay people face and now that we are winning victories in the struggle of equal rights the bigots are regrouping. We need to know who they are and what lies and slanders they are spreading.

You didn't read the "Intelligence Report" on the founder of PayPal trying to sea-stead? Or the one where they criticize "pick-up artist" sites?

Sorry, but that doesn't exactly sound like hard hitting Civil Rights work.

Oh, and I find it kind of funny that the founder of the SPLC used to work for George Wallace back in the 1950s and also defended at least one Klansman, but then founded a Civil Rights organization after the majority of Civil Rights legislation and court decisions came to pass and the FBI pretty much gutted the KKK. In other words, he didn't do jack s--t when supporting Civil Rights was literally and life and death matter, but then founded a Civil Rights organization that basically functions as a fundraising institution.

"Yes?'

He paused. 'We’re not really set up to cover the extreme Left. We only ever cover left-wing groups when they have a right-wing component, he told me. For example, 'when anarchist groups are infiltrated by those on the right; Neo-Nazis, that sort of thing.'”

And yet the media is tied at the hip to these people at SPLC.

So unless evil whitey wants to kill minorities it's not interesting to the SPLC. Got it.

Right wing anti-government/right wing religious fanatics/right wing hard line conservatives actually kill people.

Here you go Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just last week. Arizona Shootings Suspect, Neo-Nazi, Found Dead Among 5 Bodies

Black and Hispanic gangs kill more people in one day than "anti government/right wing religious fanatics/right wing hard line conservatives" kill in one year. Yet I don't hear any hysteria regarding them. Hispanic gangs shuffle guns and money across the border, black gangs sell drugs, rape, and kill every single day yet white people who don't like the government are the real "threat." Yeah okay...got it...

Your link only took me to a Google search result page, better luck next time.

Frankly, having read your posts for sometime now, I could care less about what you think is hard hitting civil rights work.

Oh, and I find it kind of funny that the founder of the SPLC used to work for George Wallace back in the 1950s and also defended at least one Klansman, but then founded a Civil Rights organization after the majority of Civil Rights legislation and court decisions came to pass and the FBI pretty much gutted the KKK.

To paraphrase my Christianly grandmother, I don't care when they come to Jesus as long as they come.

You should consider changing your channel.

They are by far the nastiest hate group around. They are a pack of bullies who demonize large segments of the population as terrorists.
