SPLC: Those Patriots you should be worried about
I know SPLC is TSO’s beat, but he’s nursing his head after a night of drinking up that Blackfive beer money, so I guess it falls to me to make you aware of the latest anti-intellectual rhetoric of the race baiting retards at the Southern Poverty Law Center. Ponsdorf sent us a link to a CNN article yesterday about their latest attempt to insinuate themselves into the fundraising opportunities of an election year;
The number of anti-government groups in the United States grew dramatically in 2011 for a third year, fueled by a rising tide against President Barack Obama, the struggling economy and illegal immigration, a report released Thursday finds.
The three-year trend amounts to an “astounding” 755 percent growth since 2008, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center report “The Year in Hate & Extremism: The Patriot Movement Explodes.”
Of course, SPLC focuses on what they call “anti-government “Patriot” groups” and their sole evidence is the wacky Hutarees who we wrote about nearly two years ago. Those retards were a danger to themselves, but not the rest of us. Go watch the video on that post and tell me they were even remotely a serious threat.
But, the SLPC gets their stratospheric number from counting each individual branch of a particular organization. And their definition allows them to include the New Black Panther movement in their “right wing hate group” counts – and each city that has a NBP chapter is a different “hate group”. Their “hate groups” include innocuous shit like this one I found in Pennsylvania on their “Hate Map”
So because someone calls themselves “Pokerface” and plays racist music, that makes them qualified to be part of the “astounding” surge in anti-government hate groups. Real towering intellect you got there, Potok.
But, ya know who they don’t mention? The anti-government Occupy movement. Claymore sends us this link from the Blaze in which they discuss why the Occupy Movement should be included in the SPLC’s report.

It sounds like they’re continuing their habit of using the term ‘patriot’ for ‘sovereign citizen groups’ as well.
The SPLC got co-opted by the loony left sometime in the 1970s. It’s bee pretty much a leftist outlet ever since.
*sigh*
I wish they’d just go ahead declare that any one who’s ever voted for a Republican is clearly a hater/member of a hate group. You know they want to.
Black Panthers on the list? What about Black radical Muslims? Black Radical Congress? Abul Nidal?Earth First? Republic of New Africa? Jamaat ul-Fuqra?
reminds me of a time when I was accused of being a Nazi because
I was listening to a CD from E Nomine… this woman was outraged – OUTRAGED – that I was enjopying all that guttural German (obvious hate-speak.) Broke my heart to tell her that it was Christian techno, and was talking about Christian prophesies. Save us from the politically correct …..
The SPLC got me. My family and I are worried about a faultering economy, big government, and a threat to our liberties and freedom. I guess we are a HATE GROUP. BTW we enjoy classical music, country, rock, blues, jazz, and show tunes (no show tunes jokes please).
I give the SPLC the respect I give the liberal left. NONE!
Southern
Preposterous
Lie
Center
Never me a white person who wasn’t a threat.
Considering that with Bill Maher’s $1 million contribution to Obama’s Super-PAC, its funds are currently at $1,060,000, SPLC is rising to the challenge in fundraising for the POTUS.
Deception: the trampstamp of Democrats.
Chief now would we do something like that…
Throw out your hands!!
Stick out your tush!!
Hands on your hips
Give them a push!!
You’ll be surprised
You’re doing the French Mistake!!
VOILA!!
@ 10 NICE!
But, you can rest assured that CNN is running with this today as a major news story, attempting to instill fear into the souls of Americans from the “right wing anti-government extremists” that we all are.
They’ve apparently decided to herd us like cattle, since we can’t be “re-educated.” They don’t want us to eat meat, so we get bombarded with images of slaughter houses and “pink slime.” They don’t want us to own guns, so every stupid gun story they can find is front page news. Now? Every person who doesn’t vote liberal is an anti-government, racist nazi that belongs to a hate group.
If you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go polish my swastika and make sure my train is running on time.
Just for shits and giggles, I looked up NH on his “hate map” of misanthropy. Four groups. Two were the same folks, and were labeled as “Radical Traditional Catholicism.”
Why, the NERVE some people have, sticking to Latin mass, etc! Wanting to convert people to Catholicism–how dare they!

The other two were neo-Nazi groups, but no Black Panther or MeCHA groups, considering we’re 98 percent white here, hardly a big surprise. Then again, I’ve never heard of the groups Potok mentions, so I’m guessing they aren’t exactly overflowing with members.
So, the Occutards aren’t anti-government? Wow, the “logic” is just astounding.
Sponge, @#12, yeah CNN jumped right on it. So did ABC.
#14- Sparky, as a Papist myself, these past couple of months have convinced me wholly that this adminstration isn’t jst anti-organized religion, but anti-Catholic specifically. I view that as a good thing, however, since a considerable portion of the Catholic voting bloc has traditionally been Democrat.
#9- Dave, better add a cool 2 mil to that number. Maher wasn’t the largest contributor with his 1 mil; Jeffrey Katezenberg of Dreamworks donated $2M.
#16 ROS: Don’t disagree with you about the numbers – at the time of Maher’s million dollar purchase of indulgences, the Super-PAC reported less than 60K available.
I will disagree with you on the other point. This administration is not just anti-Catholic, but is anti-Orthodoxy whether Christian or Jewish. The RC Church is vulnerable for two reasons: its long association with Democrats and Progressives, and the intellectual conceit that says a member of the Church may violate the tenets of the religion with impunity. Whether it’s a Kennedy, a Pelosi, or pedophiles, the Church ignores, closets, and mollifies the outrage – everything but apply discipline to the wayward member.
I can agree with you that the administration is anti-Orthodoxy, but your latter point leaves much to be desired, especially your comment about “intellectual deceit”. As fallible beings, we have been imbued with free will, thus it is our own responsibility to attone for our own sins. Equating a Kennedy or Pelosi’s personal sins with those of a man of the cloth’s are disengenious and entirely off the mark. Following PJPII’s declaration of said abuse as delictum gravius, the church hierarchy began to invove civil authorities and those who violated church dogma were prosecuted instead of persecuted. I fail to see how that isn’t applying discipline.
