Years back MSNBC would have a spokesman from them on when they were having their one sided discussions. The guy was shifty eyed and with a weasely grin and just looked like he knew he was full of it. Beyond that, they are a left wing for hire organization with little credibility. They push an agenda which is fine, but when a group like that is partisan politically, you can't take anything they say without some skepticism. That and they were into fake news before it was even called that, searching out fictitious or lone oddball crackpots and building them up to be representative of entire classes of people. They were a prototype for what CNN has degraded to. They have absurd conclusions about racism and are alarmist preying on the disinformed and paranoid.

>>> Soros is a fascist and a hate merchant and every group he funds is working against the common good.

omg, I just read my post and realized I forgot to post the link. Interesting read

Dear Members of the Media:
We are writing to you as individuals or as representatives of organizations who are deeply troubled by several recent examples of the media’s use of data from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC is a discredited, left-wing, political activist organization that seeks to silence its political opponents with a “hate group” label of its own invention and application that is not only false and defamatory, but that also endangers the lives of those targeted with it.

All reputable news organizations should immediately stop using the SPLC descriptions of individuals and organizations based on the SPLC’s obvious political prejudices.”

The source of that information is pretty reliable. You don't have to believe it. That's your choice to remain ignorant.

I guess by your personal attack, you don't actually have a source. Pretty much what I thought.

I too would be interested in seeing a source that shows that Soros is financing some of these radical leftist groups. I don't know a lot about Soros other than his history as a hedge fund manager and as the founder of the Open Society Foundation, a liberal advocacy group. Soros strikes me as more of a limousine liberal than a leftwing subversive.

Just testing you. Not trying to go aggro on you.
Big diff between genocidal fascists and people upset by the instantaneous conversion of our society to address sexual eccentricities, don't you think?
