"For those who have long watched Southern Poverty Law Center and the extraordinary influence it has with the media, the last few weeks have been positively beautiful to behold."
Christopher Knight - American Thinker
Victims of SPLC for the past fifty years and more would do well to strike while its wounds are fresh, and hold the media inescapably culpable in its activism against the innocent.
"We are owed an expansive apology. That however would require sincere admission on the part of the aggressors that they did us wrong.
"A vigorous scan through the legacy news from this past two weeks has not turned that up. Indeed, the parties at fault have circled the wagons instead of confronting the problem. They are attempting to make it out that the Department of Justice at the behest of President Trump is executing a campaign of persecution against a “storied civil rights organization,” as CNN on Facebook described Southern Poverty Law Center.
"For those who have long watched Southern Poverty Law Center and the extraordinary influence it has with the media, the last few weeks have been positively beautiful to behold. That nigh-unassailable bastion of “anti-racist monitoring” has been indicted in federal court for funneling $3 million of its nonprofit coffers toward paying the very racial extremists it professed to stand against. The scheme could have sprung from the pages of a comic book: SPLC funding neo-Nazis and other white supremacists to actively hate people, so that SPLC could campaign against them. It’s basically akin to the fire department putting the torch to your house and expecting to be paid to put it out.
"SPLC’s motives and actions could almost be laughable. But there is no hilarity in this situation. Not with SPLC having fought tooth and claw across the previous five and a half decades to establish itself as the definitive arbiter of “hate” in America. Which in the case of SPLC happens to be anything to the right of the Politburo. Conservative individuals and organizations, and especially Christians, however minimum the magnitude of their actions, have long been cast by SPLC as being “extremist hate mongers” to be abhorred. This, while Southern Poverty turns a blind eye to the violence and mayhem and even loss of life brought about by leftist groups such as Antifa and those inspired by Black Lives Matter.
"No, there is not and never has been any intention by the Southern Poverty Law Center to legitimately monitor hate groups. The organization is just as Morris Dees and his confederates intended it to be: a weapon against liberty-minded people and groups that few would dare oppose without also being likened to racists." . . .
