Paying lip service to Hate
Mark Potok’s Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Watch is hot on the trail of that hateful group at Fox News this week with an article that charges “Another Long, Hot Black Nationalist Summer at Fox News“. Of course, twisting the story completely around, the story’s author, Alexander Zaitchik, exonerates two thugs outside a polling place in Philadelphia and points his finger at Fox News as the racists instead;
On nearly 100 occasions since June 30, Fox News anchors and hosts have breathlessly discussed the marginal group and the “scandal” of the Justice Department’s dismissal of a voter intimidation case filed against two of its members who were videotaped standing outside a Philadelphia poll station on Election Day 2008.
[Abigail Thernstrom, a conservative George W. Bush appointee on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission] told Politico. “This has to do with their fantasies about how they could use this issue to topple the [Obama] administration.”
And what better way to do that than play sensationalized loops of militant-looking black men with zero political power or connections to the White House?
“Militant-looking black men with zero political power” but enough power to count them in the number of right wing hate groups on their “Hate Map” this year;
Of course, if you follow the link on the hate Map to SPLC’s idea of black separatists, you’ll notice it’s not their fault;
So basically, the SPLC will go along with counting the Black Panthers in their BIG NUMBER of right wing hate groups, but when it comes down to actually doing something about them, well, that’s an entirely different story. Fox News must pay.

Of course Potok isn’t going to do anything about it. First off, it might be HIS cracker babies that get killed, and second, Ben Jealous over at the NAACP said on CNN on Sunday that the New Black Panther Party is just an invention of Fox News.
I just have to wonder HOW in the HELL those LefTurds at the SPLC manage to breathe with their heads stuck that far up their asses. . . .
You know, I doubt if any of the hate groups on that site have any real political power. Most of them are a bunch of rednecks who couldn’t organize a kiddy fashion show never mind a race war. Seriously–if three guys in Idaho hang out a swastika and give themselves a menacing name, SPLC puts their name on a list.
And now we’re supposed to excuse this whole voter intimidation things because this was a group of black men with “no political power”?
