Summary  : 
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a far left site created to fear-monger for money. Their platform is used to attack anyone on the right, and by their own standards, they would qualify as a hate-group... if they applied their standards to themselves.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a far left site created to fear-monger for money.

The SPLC exists to scare people for money, and it’s been quite lucrative[edit | edit source]

  • Follow the money: if you pay people to scare others, they’ll find things to fear everywhere and exaggerate every problem (to exaggerate their reward).
  • The SPLC has "raised an endowment of close to $100 million, by frightening elderly liberals that the heirs of Adolf Hitler are about to march down Main Street, lynching blacks and putting Jews into ovens”.
  • There are websites, such as ([1]) dedicated to exposing the SPLC’s bad behavior.

Look, you don’t have to agree with right wing organizations views on many of these issues (I don’t), but that doesn’t mean you should be OK with labeling them hate-groups as SPLC does. They’ve successfully lowered the information and objectivity of folks that use them as a resource (especially media outlets), divided us more as a nation, and created false harassment of many legitimate organizations. But they made a lot of money in the process by scaring the gullible and uninformed (or worse: informed polemics).

Examples[edit | edit source]

Here's some examples of their behavior: Template:StripCategory2 • [0 items]

Response to SPLC labelling them as a hate agent

SPLC has a form on their website that allows anyone to reportanything as a hate crime, and it gets added to their list without any vetting whatsoever. Many of the items reported are later debunked, but there’s no system to remove false clams. The idea is to scare people for money.[1]

  • 2019.03 Dees was fired for failure to live up to the low standards of the organization -- waiting for details to come out on what that failure was [2]
  • In the wake of an August 2012 shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, some columnists criticized the SPLC's listing of the Family Research Council as an anti-gay "hate group".
  • Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post, wrote that the SPLC was "reckless in labeling as a “hate group” a policy shop that advocates for a full range of conservative Christian positions."
  • Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council,” said, after the attack, “I believe [the gunman Floyd Corkins] was given a license to do that by a group such as the Southern Poverty Law Center who labeled us a hate group because we defend the family and stand for traditional orthodox Christianity.”
  • Capital Research Center states that the SPLC "deliberately mischaracterizes conservatives and tea partiers as “extremists”.
  • Steve Scalise shooter was inspired by the SPLC [3].
  • SPLC gets sued for putting lots of non-hate groups on their list, the media ignores[4].
  • They created a hatelist of Confederate places for their violent followers to vandalize [5].
  • They miscategorize scholars like Christina Hoff Sommers (resident scholar at the American Enterprise) as an 'enabler of "male supremacy,"', because while she's a feminist, she debunks the left's lie about the so-called gender wage gap. Basically, being a scholar in your field, doing research, and disagreeing with far left feminists disinformation campaign, makes you a Woman-hater male-supremacist? [6]
  • They falsely label PragerU as a hate agency, for having the worlds most benign history lessons from various History Professors or specialists in their field. What's the hate? They don't regurgitate far-left revisionist versions of history or understanding, but a more conservative orientation of history. [7]

Questionable practices[edit | edit source]

Why would a domestic 501(c) tax-exempt charitable organization need to push millions of dollars to offshore entities (Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda) as part of its business dealings? To quote the tax experts consulted, "It is unethical for any US-based charity to invest large sums of money overseas.... I know of no legitimate reason for any US-based nonprofit to put money in overseas, unregulated bank accounts." Somethings smells funky.

Or while we're asking questions, why would they pay lucrative six-figure salaries to its top directors and key employees (a few making around ≈$400K/year), while spending little on legal services (despite its stated intent of "fighting hate and bigotry" using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy)? And Conservative Church or Charity that did this, would rightfully, have investigative journalists all over them, not to mention front page stories. The silence is both telling and deafening.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

File:SPLCThreatLevel.png

I think there should be an organization that tracks hate groups, and provides the service that the SPLC claims to. But to do that, they'd need to:

  1. be objective
  2. have no vested interest (incentives) in scaring the public
  3. and no political or ideological agendas

In other words, be the exact opposite of what SPLC is.

Tim Cook donated quite a bit of money to this hate group. [8]
