Quote:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which has labeled several Washington, D.C.-based family organizations as "hate groups" for favoring traditional marriage, has been dumped as a "resource" on the FBI's Hate Crime Web page, a significant rejection of the influential legal group.

The Web page scrubbing, which also included eliminating the Anti-Defamation League, was not announced and came in the last month after 15 family groups pressed Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director James Comey to stop endorsing a group -- SPLC -- that inspired a recent case of domestic terrorism at the Family Research Council.

This is a great victory, because in case you forgot, the SPLC put yours truly on a hate list. The SPLC overstepped their boundaries and got accordingly checked.

The fact that SPLC, our natural enemy, is losing power, may be a sign the tide is turning, or at least trying to.

This is great news.

This gang of miserable guttersnipes continuously overreached itself by trying to blacklist anyone whom they didn't like.

And finally, the overreaching and the blatant attempts to persecute people caught up with it.

Imaginary witch-hunting organizations like this need to be exposed and mocked for what they are.

This news makes my day!

They're a joke, they have zero credibility in my eyes.

Part of the letter sent to the FBI (included in the original story):

Quote:

Corkins said he picked his targets by relying on the SPLC website’s Hate Map. He also admitted to these facts in open court when he pleaded guilty. It is part of the indisputable public record.

Thus, the FBI now directs the public to trust a group whose website played a significant part in bringing about an act of domestic terrorism. These facts were developed by federal prosecutors – not FRC. We appreciate the work the FBI does every day, but we cannot allow the SPLC to be listed in official FBI resources as a friend of civil rights and law enforcement when the organization has become one of the biggest bullies in America.

Oh the irony... a group whose mission is to eliminate hate was used as a source to plot an act of domestic terrorism.

[Private Man]

The SPLC lost relevancy years ago. The FBI has confirmed it.

Quote:

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, told Secrets, “We are shocked, surprised and disappointed that this would be done without any consultation with groups such as ours who have been working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on issues of hate crime. We look forward to having further conversations with them on this issue.”

Unfortunately, when this conversation happens, the FBI will come back with a change of heart and the SPLC will go back to being their primary "hate crime" resource.

It was always a fucking joke that Roosh got put on that list. I don't care if you're blue pill and hate everything Roosh stands for. Putting him on that list was outrageous.

Bro...

They wouldn't know because the general public never sources their news.

[Dusty]

Imagine that.

[runsonmagic]

Good riddance.

[soup]

I think we are going to see authorities not taking man haters seriously because the haters have been crying wolf for way too long.

First that article about how rape culture is exagerated and now this.

The haters are digging themselves into a ditch by over-promoting themselves.

[megatron]

Why would anyone who likes Obama like this news?

[Texas_Tryhard]

The FBI is too alpha and SPLC just hit the wall. Time to move on to supporting newer and sexier organizations.

[CactusCat589]

All this organization does is list any and all organizations that want to lower taxes, protect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc. as hate criminals. Forget the SLPC's corruption, I could do that job for them in my off time alone. Maybe now they'll have to actually work, but I doubt it.

I would go so far as to say "a group whose supposed mission is to eliminate hate was used as a source to plot an act of domestic terrorism."

Because a lot of what the SPLC and its supporters engage in is actually anti-Christian hate done under the pretense of eliminating hate. It's Orwellian sleight-of-hand.

I might have missed this technique of theirs, but they gave it away when they started to define pro-family groups as pro-hate. IMO this probably struck fear into the hearts of Holder and company because of 1). The legal quagmire the USA would be in if the SPLC started a precedent for suing churches and 2). The negative effect this would affect black churches, most of which are very conservative about gay marriage (which is completely their right).

Having a religious belief does not make you "hateful" or a bigot, no matter what your religion or how conservative (Christian, Muslim, whatever). America was built on the freedom to worship as you please without fear of legal repercussion -- which is exactly what the SPLC was seeking to bring back.

But they pushed their radical agenda too far and to Holder's credit, he told them to buzz off.

[Vacancier Permanent]

For the non Americans of us, what is the SPLC? What is their role if they have one? I had never heard about them until here.

[TonySandos]

The SPLC is an organization that is somewhat like the ACLU, or at least it used to be. The SPLC started in the 70's as a basic civil rights organization to combat racial aggression in the south, so it began as a commendable effort.

I believe it was just in the 00's decade that they began to corrupt their power beyond an understandable political agenda.

The ACLU is your typical civil rights watchdog standard. They are generally concerned with upholding the law and administering retribution under its guidelines. They have been at fault themselves at times for overstepping their authority and pushing an agenda because the wrong people were heading specific positions or stances.

[Grit]

People who inflate and exaggerate rape statistics, people who mislead the public by spray painting slurs, these are indeed attempts to use terror tactics to scare people, and the Patriot Act should rain down on them.

[puckerman]

I also know other people who have been accused of stuff the SPLC--Jon Roland, Larry Kilgore, and Catherine Bleish.

Roland's "crime" is running a very good web site called constitution.org

Kilgore is a Bircher-type who was run for several offices in Texas.

Bleish is a spitfire, mostly dedicated to sovereign living. She lives with her husband and kids totally off the grid.

There's only about 27 Ku Klux Klan guys left, SPLC had to do something to maintain donations.

[Bad Hussar]

What idiots are still giving the SPLC any money? They are so obviously a joke. They have little or no interest in whatever causes they pretend to be involved in and act as a make-work project for their employees and managers.

Who are the employees and managers at SPLC, or associated with them, benefiting by drawing a salary or fees?
Who funds this organisation? Many small donation, or a few big one?. Who are the donors and what is their motivation?

Unfortunately the ADL has become something not a lot better than the SPLC. They may have had relevance many decades ago when anti-antisemitism was a real phenomena, but they have little relevance now, and tend to just make things up in order to still seem relevant. Basically it's managers are stirring up shit in order to keep the donations coming in so that they can keep their "jobs". They really should consider doing something more productive with their time.

[Samseau]

Being dropped by the FBI is a major blow to SPLC's credibility. It's equivalent to being dropped by the KGB in Russia. This is probably an eventually death sentence for the SPLC.
