Jeff Sessions: The DOJ 'Will Not Partner With Groups That Unfairly Defame Americans' Like the SPLC

On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions denounced the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for weaponizing its "hate group" designations against conservative organizations, and pledged that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not partner with hate groups or groups that defame Americans. He spoke in front of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian legal organization that has won 9 Supreme Court cases in the last seven years and that has been unfairly defamed as a "hate group" by the SPLC.

"I have ordered a review at the Department of Justice to make sure that we do not partner with any groups that discriminate," the attorney general declared. "We will not partner with groups that unfairly defame Americans for standing up for the Constitution or their faith."

He made this promise shortly after explaining the history of the Southern Poverty Law Center. "People of faith are facing a new hostility. Really, a bigoted ideology which is founded on animus towards people of faith," Sessions declared. "You'll notice that they don't rely on the facts. They don't make better arguments. They don't propose higher ideals. No, they just call people names—like 'hate group.'"

"Does that sound familiar?" Sessions quipped.

Good, but nowhere near enough. DOJ should find charges against SPLC and shut them down entirely. There are lots of things they could be charged with.

Good work he is doing on this, and some other things. Since we are stuck with him, I will focus on this.

The SPLC are the real "haters." Patriotism has always been their target. (See Bigot In The Argument.)

To better understand the spurious pretenses that lead to an ongoing war against patriotic & God Fearing Americans by pseudo intellectual bigots, consider Surrender By Subterfuge.

I have been fighting this sort of warped, anti-American thinking, since I was a teenager. Let's give the AG credit for doing the right thing in this!

Good.

The SPLC is a hate group.

Now Sessions needs to fire everyone involved with the Rigged Witch Hunt and shut it down.

FYI:

A recently-uncovered court document from the divorce proceedings of a prominent Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) figure alleges horrific conduct on behalf of one of the most influential lawyers in America.

Maureene Dees, ex-wife of SPLC co-founder Morris Dees filed for divorce according to an brief obtained by Big League Politics. [Image: Screen-Shot-2018-07-30-at-12.03.34-PM.png

Holly testified that, Morris attempted to molest her in the following incident: One night Maureene and Morris were sitting drinking wine etc etc ” the brief says. “[Holly] was with them. Maureene went to bed and Holly stayed up with Morris . Morris kept offering Holly wine, some of which she accepted.”

Holly testified that she declined, choosing to go to bed instead.

“She went to her room and then went into the bathroom,” the document says. “Looking out the window, she saw Morris in the bushes beside the bathroom window looking in. She said ‘Morris, is that you’, but he said nothing and ran away.”

Two months later, things got worse.

“Morris entered [Holly’s] room the document says. “He was in his underwear and he sat on the bed where Holly was lying on her stomach facing away from the door. He touched her on the back and woke her up. He told her that he had brough her a present, and he presented her with a vibrator. He plugged it in and said he had brought it to her. He proceeded to rub it on her back and said ‘Let me show you how to use it.’”

According to Holly’s testimony, she declined, but Morris proceeded anyway.

He started to place it between her legs when she raised her voice and said no loudly,” according to the brief.

And so it seems the very people qualified educated to fight for us, to preserve our rights are the very people molesting them ...

Sessions needs to arrest and charge every member of the obama clinton cabal. Until then his talk is just deflection of his own impotence.

Jeff Sessions: The DOJ 'Will Not Partner With Groups That Unfairly Defame Americans' Like the SPLC

Hey Jeff. Your DOJ and FBI "unfairly defamed" Trump. You've even put one those defamers in charge of all the things that you are rescued from.

Thanks, for nothing.

Maybe they need to make a few changes in our laws so that caning can be made an acceptable punishment for certain crimes. If this was done,it seems there would be a long waiting list of offenders right now.
