Media outlets that have cited the SPLC in recent days have not intended to target mainstream political groups for violent attack.

The SPLC has recklessly labeled dozens of mainstream conservative organizations as “hate groups.” SPLC’s labeling of FRC as a “hate group” was connected in federal court to an act of domestic terrorism committed five years ago at FRC’s Washington headquarters by Floyd Corkins. Corkins confessed to the FBI that he used SPLC’s “hate map” to choose FRC as a target for violence. More recently, James Hodgkinson, the attempted political assassin of House Majority Whip, Rep. Steve Scalise and many other Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate, was discovered to have “liked” the SPLC on Facebook.

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.

"Family Research Council believes that homosexual conduct is harmful to the persons who engage in it and to society at large, and can never be affirmed. It is by definition unnatural, and as such is associated with negative physical and psychological health effects. "


sounds like a hate group to me

I don't know what a "hate group" really means because it's a made up term but I wouldn't call that a hateful statement by the FRC.

It sort of reads like a late-night infomercial for some miracle drug that can extend the length of your penis.

Pretty much vague unsubstantiated babble.

No, it sounds like someone who holds views that differ from yours.

I guess the Nazis weren't hateful either. They just had a different point of view. Would you agree?

Just testing you. Not trying to go aggro on you.

SPLC have always been a hack leftist advocacy organization. They have never been credible unless you're a leftist.

RICO is on Sessions table over all this and it goes very deep. The web is wide, in the collusion to overthrow a sitting President.

When you lead with Nazi comparisons, you've already lost the argument.

No, thats a fallacy .


Would you actually like to put forth a response to what they said that is actually on topic ?

You could have successfully argued that not all disagreements on such a monumental level are hateful, but instead you tried to take the easy way out and crashed and burned.
