The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an illicit, discredited hate group.
They have a long history of defaming and libeling women, minorities, and people of faith.
Anyone who cites the Southern Poverty Law Center as a serious source for anything is … well … a hater, a bigot, a pervert, and probably a big-time groomer.
Here's all you need to know about the Alabama Hate Group otherwise known as "The Southern Poverty Law Center."
1.
The agency's
co-founder, Morris Dees, was fired for fostering a work culture of sexism and
racism, as well as engaging sexual misconduct. Not exactly tolerant or loving,
right? Minority employees never received promotions—ever.

2.
The President of the
SPLC, Richard Cohen, was forced to resign for enabling Mr. Dees' misdeeds. So
did the SPLC legal director Rhonda Brownstein. Ironically, they fostered
and permitted the very culture of hate they claimed to combat. Their
organization routinely refused to hire anyone aside from white males and
females.

3.
Bob Moser (liberal and
openly gay), a former employee of the SPLC, informed the public in an
exposé for The
New Yorker that the whole SPLC is just a smear-machine
fundraising mill, nothing more. The agency was never intended to actually stop
extremism and hate, but just raise money off of gullible corporate donors who
wanted to feel that they were helping the fight.
Moser states:
“All the
time, dark shadows hung over everything: the racial and gender disparities, the
whispers about sexual harassment, the abuses that stemmed from the top-down
management, and the guilt you couldn’t help feeling about the legions of donors
who believed that their money was being used, faithfully and well …. We were
part of the con, and we knew it.”
4.
The SPLC was forced to
pay a $3.3
million settlement to Maajid Nawaz for libeling (not just
labeling) him and his organization the Quilliam foundation as an
"anti-Muslim extremist" simply because as a Muslim reformer he
opposes Sharia Law and supports women’s rights. Former President Richard
Cohen had to make an official apology, too.

Here’s their
apology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMAStj8Jtks
Maajid Nawaz
said that he was “targeted” by the SPLC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZYa8J_NU8Y
5.
SPLC has smeared
MassResistance as a "hate group." It's a laughable charge.
a.
Our organization spans
chapters throughout the world, including Nigeria, Chile, Taiwan, and Hong Kong,
as well as the United Kingdom. We have men and women of all ages and ethnic
backgrounds who have sought MassResistance to help them combat the LGBT agenda
and its lies. How is that hate?
b.
For the record,
mothers and fathers who care about their children do not constitute any kind of
"hate group". The truth is, it is hateful to call loving parents
"haters" for protecting their children from sexual deviance and
perversion.
c.
Homosexuals have
contacted our activists and our main office to voice SUPPORT for our activism.
A number of them want to leave the LGBT culture, but fear the repercussions of
breaking away.
6.
The Southern Poverty
Law Center has listed the following groups as so-called hate groups. The
collection of groups which they have smeared with this canard is so laughable,
that any pro-family/conservative activist group that is NOT on their list should
question their effectiveness!
a.
The Alliance Defending
Freedom
b.
The Family Research
Council
c.
The American Family
Association
d.
The American Freedom
Alliance
e.
Family Watch
International
f.
World Congress of
Families
g.
The Remembrance
Project – This group fights illegal immigration, and represents the concerns of
families whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens. This is hate?!
h.
Liberty Counsel
i.
National Coalition for
Issue Reform – This is the most nonsensical I have seen yet.
j.
The American College
of Pediatricians – Yes, the SPLC labels caregiver doctors for children as a
“hate group” – are you laughing yet?!
k.
The Pacific Justice
Center – This group based in California fights for religious liberties and
parental rights. That’s hate?
l.
The Jewish Defense League
– I kid you not. They consider Jews who defend Israel a “hate group” – This is
beyond ridiculous.
m.
Christians and Jews
United for Israel – Once again, the SPLC attacks Jews as a hate group. They
sound more like Nazis or the KKK.
n.
The Center for Immigration
Studies – This group is headed by an Armenian-American, by the way. This group
is one of six suing the SPLC for libel.
o.
Federation for
American Immigration Reform – This group has supporters of all backgrounds,
including Black and Jewish Americans.
7.
The Southern Poverty
Law Center tried to shut down charter schools which served predominantly poor,
black communities in Mississippi. It’s documented below:
8.
The Washington Post
printed an editorial slamming the SPLC as having lost all integrity:
When even the Washington Post has given up on you, you are a lost
cause!
9.
Regarding the charge
of Homophobia: "Homophobia" suggests a fear of homosexuals. On the
contrary, MassResistance and its members have never shied away from confronting
individuals on the dangers of LGBT behaviors. In fact, our main office has
received commendations from currently practicing LGBT individuals to support
our efforts to confront this agenda! It is not a mental disorder to oppose LGBT
Behaviors, since they are fraught with disease, dysfunction, and death.
10. Current
Affairs, a Liberal Magazine, wrote the following article:
The
Southern Poverty Law Center Is Everything That’s Wrong With Liberalism by Nathan
J. Robinson
Key quote:
“The Southern Poverty Law Center perfectly shows
social change done wrong. It was a top-down organization controlled by an
incompetent and venal leadership. It was hypocritical in the extreme, preaching
anti-racism while fostering a racist internal culture and being led by men
whose own commitment to equality was questionable. It didn’t care about
listening to and incorporating the viewpoints of the people it was supposed to
serve. It was obscenely rich in a time of terrible poverty, and squandered much
its considerable wealth. Finally, it picked the wrong political targets, and
focused on symbolic over substantive change. Each of these practices goes
beyond the SPLC, and is endemic to a certain kind of “elite liberalism” that
desires “progress” without sacrifice. It is the kind of liberalism recognized
by Phil Ochs in 1966, and its chief characteristics are a deep hypocrisy and a
lack of willingness to seriously challenge the status quo.”
11. John
Stossel (libertarian, social liberal) exposed and shamed the Southern Poverty
Law Center:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k41PI54ExFc
“The center has become a hate group itself” – John
Stossel
12. The
SPLC smears a Dutch-Somali immigrant Ayaan Hirsi Ali because she supports
women’s rights. There’s your intersectionality backfiring on the SPLC, right
there!
https://www.splcenter.org/search?keyword=Ayaan+Hirsi+Ali
One can ask: “Do they have a problem with black
immigrants? Women who have survived sexual assault?”
13. The
SPLC takes in hundreds of millions for dollars, pays their senior employees six
figure salaries, and stashes huge amounts of cash in offshore accounts. How is
this fighting hate? How is this an example of “poverty”?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ArT_LMxVI
14. Harpers
Magazine exposed how the SPLC profits from intolerance:
15. The
SPLC has become so discredited, that the FBI no longer lies on them for
information about hate groups:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/03/26/fbi-dumps-southern-poverty-law-center/
16.
The
magazine Foreign Policy has analyzed and concluded that the
SPLC does not provide objective information to monitor hate groups:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/03/12/the-hate-list/
17. The new President and CEO of the SPLC is
Margaret Huang. She took a picture of the intolerant anti-white, anti-Semite
Nick Cannon, and she has still not taken down the picture or disavowed the
picture:
http://aschaper1.blogspot.com/2020/09/breaking-new-president-and-ceo-of.html
18. SPLC had to retract article for defaming
progressive journalists like Max Blumenthal
19. The Republican National Committee has
repudiated the Southern Poverty Law Center
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/24/rnc-adopt-resolution-repudiating-splc/
20. USA Today released an editorial slamming the
SPLC:
21.
The Southern Poverty
Law Center has raised hundreds of millions of dollars, and then stashes the
massive amounts of cash in off-shore accounts. How does any of this help fight
for civil rights?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ArT_LMxVI
22.
The Southern Poverty
Law Center members have gone on record making it clear that they are not a
non-biased civil rights organization, but a partisan group that targets
conservatives:
https://rkeefe57.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/splc-the-quotable-mr-potok/
23. The
Southern Poverty Law Center is no longer a credible source, even according to liberal
journalists:

https://townhall.com/columnists/joshgoldstein/2017/07/26/splc-hate-group-n2360208
22. Wikipedia does list MassResistance as a hate
group, but that’s only because of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s defamation.
The founder of Wikipedia left the company in 2007, and he has announced that
Wikipedia has no credibility:
https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-founder-embarrassed-politicization-site-encyclopedia
23. The Southern Poverty Law Center Hate Map targets innocent pro-family organizations, and their hate induced a deranged gunman to target staff at the Family Research Council in Washington, DC.
Check out this statement from one of the survivors from that massacre:
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate-based scam thatnearly caused me to be murdered
