The SPLC has listed hundreds of groups on its “Hate Watch” whose only crime is opposing illegal immigration.
Feb. 2008
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), has grabbed a very lucrative and seemingly permanent seat on the fundraising gravy train by smearing organizations it claims are “anti-immigrant hate groups.” />
But recently the SPLC itself attacked an immigrant ethnic minority using the exact same language which, when used by other organizations, it denounces as hate speech and proof that they are nativist “hate groups.” The SPLC is going to have to add itself to its list of hate groups!/>
SPLC’s modus operandi for fundraising based on smear is simple, dishonest and vicious. It assumes for itself the authority to define what is a “hate group.” It broadens that definition to include political speech—any viewpoint that doesn’t strictly adhere to the SPLC’s Politically-Correct party line. It adds these groups to a list which already includes the Klan, neo-Nazis, etc in order make the list seem credible and to affirm dissenters’ guilt by associating them with those that legitimately qualify as “hate groups”. Then it trumpets to its donors that “hate groups” have so proliferated that America is in imminent danger of becoming a fascist dictatorship run by those hate groups —and that giving to SPLC is essential if this rapid descent toward fascism is to be stopped./>
The problem for SPLC is that too many Americans have awakened to the dangers of illegal immigration and thus are in agreement with the views that VDARE.COM presents. This overwhelming public opposition to illegal immigration (over 80%) has resulted in more federal and state legislators opposing the SPLC’s pro-illegal agenda: more legislative defeats for the open border lobby; increasing media coverage of the damage caused by illegal immigration; and ever-rising number of anti-illegal immigration groups />
These factors have forced the SPLC to attack so many individuals and groups that its credibility is disappearing.
