Southern Poverty Law Center Attacks Gay Activists

If there is any group that knows about “hate” it’s the Southern Poverty Law Center, unarguably itself the country’s largest, most well-funded “hate group”. SPLC makes a lot of money peddling its own brand of hate, which it does mostly by listing any and all groups with which it disagrees on issues. Very few groups listed engage in anything hateful or violent, and those who have are far and few between.

From their “SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER Intelligence Report, Spring 2013, Issue Number: 149” –

“The Intelligence Project identified 1,360 anti-government “Patriot” groups that were active in 2012.”

As noted by founder Rosa Koire, “Democrats Against UN Agenda 21 and the Post Sustainability Institute are on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of Patriot groups. The criteria for making this list are quite interesting. The SPLC purports to identify hate groups and to advocate for those who are being discriminated against or targeted for violence. The SPLC mainly focuses on skinhead groups and anti-gay groups but they’re branching out and including us in their scope. Why?”

The answer is, once again, SPLC has no credibility in identifying ‘hate’ groups, and has itself become the biggest of all hate groups. In this case, it is attacking a gay couple (Koire and her partner are both involved in the PSI) who simply are speaking out against a government program, as is their right. As we and Koire and others have pointed out, this is not a right or left issue, it’s an American issue that all should be opposed to.

In her response, Koire goes on to say “If you look at what they say above, the criteria for list selection include opposing the New World Order (does SPLC support it?), ‘groundless’ conspiracy theorizing (SPLC refuses to acknowledge objective reality), and advocating or adhering to ‘extreme anti-government doctrines’ (like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?).”

We agree with Koire when she states that “they (SPLC) engage in spreading misinformation about UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development and are themselves representing the New World Order by targeting groups who would re-erect the guarantees of the US Constitution. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness extends beyond racial and social lines. Our government exists to protect the individual. Our rights to free speech, to our property, to our privacy — guaranteed by the Constitution. The term ‘Patriots,’ according to the SPLC, is now under suspicion, and those who question government tactics and object to subversion, manipulation, privacy invasion, and ‘transformation’ are targeted on their list.”

“The Southern Poverty Law Center is a fraud and a sham. Although they have a disclaimer that they don’t imply that we advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist they are fully aware that targeting us on their list may serve to chill our civil rights or turn people against us. They are engaging in their own brand of hate speech. It might help their fundraising but it also shines a light on their bias and willingness to go along to get along with liberty-destroying regimes. The Southern Poverty Law Center purports to have some familiarity with Nazi tactics. Perhaps too much.”

And we could not agree more. The SPLC has long since lost any semblance of credibility by listing a group formed by two patriotic activists (who happen to also be gay) who are doing yeoman’s work of shining the light on an insidious program being delivered by unelected regional boards all over the country, and comparing them to Nazis, Skinheads and other violent actors. Most of the “hate groups” SPLC lists are just isolated individuals or very small groups that no one ever heard of or from anyway.
