Southern Poverty Law Center Tries to Cash in on DHS Report

The serial exaggerators at the radical left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center are trying to capitalize on the Department of Homeland Security report that smears Americans on the political right.

That odious report quotes from the SPLC, which I've argued is ideologically motivated and unreliable.

Here is the fundraising email the SPLC sent out today:

April 16, 2009

Dear Friend,

As you may recall, we've recently documented 926 hate groups operating in the U.S. These organizations are being fueled by immigration fears, the faltering economy and the racist backlash to the election of President Obama.

Now, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just issued a new alert warning of the dangers posed by these hate groups. It says that "white supremacist lone wolves" and "small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology" are currently the most significant domestic terrorism threat.

With your help, we're fighting these groups every day by tracking and exposing their activities. We're also training law enforcement officers and making sure they have the latest and best intelligence on these dangerous extremists.

And we've warned the Pentagon about extremists who have infiltrated the armed services. No one, of course, can forget the deadly toll of the Oklahoma City bombing by Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh.

Please help us continue our critical work and counter this mounting threat by sending a special gift today. We'll keep you posted on further developments. And remember to stand strong against hate whenever and wherever you see it.

Sincerely, Morris Dees Founder P.S. You can get more information - and see my appearance this week on the CBS Early Show - here.

Morris Dees is finally over the line. Time for Morris to get sued and stripped of his vast storehouse of wealth.

The lunatic echo chamber moves along.

George Washington was a disgruntled veteran too.

They probably wrote the DHS report.

What's with the weird signature:

The SPLC is a racist leftwing hate group

More fuel on the fire.

I got a feeling Janet wants this to all go away.

Finally? That over the hill hack went over the line a long, long time ago. But you got to give the man credit for his business skills, making a small fortune off of white guilt and fear.

“What’s with the weird signature”

Looks like he signed it with his foot. Keeps his hands free to... oh, never mind.

[Altura Ct.]

Morris Dees can rot in hell. He is a lying POS that provides the so called intelligence he is using as a solicitation tool.

[cripplecreek]

I got a feeling Janet wants this to all go away.

Exactly why it shouldn't and her boss should feel some heat over this as well. After all, if he gets credit for actions of Navy Seals halfway around the world, he can take the heat from someone who works in his white house.

I hear syphilis in the brain first compromises fine motor skills....I’m just saying.

[mware]

This document(especially the bit about pro lifers) has the fingerprints of Planned Parenthood all over it.

[Vendome]

This dude is a moron. Here is how I look things.

Everyone is dangerous but, not everyone presents a danger.

"I got a feeling Janet wants this to all go away. "

It'd be nice if Janet were to go away instead.
I wonder if The One grants waivers for letting the cat out of the bag like he does for failure to pay taxes?

[muawiyah]

Morris didn’t make any money off of “white guilt” ~ he successfully sued and financially stripped a Ku Klux Klan operation.

The KKK actually “feels no guilt”.

I’m sure he had some downstream contributions but everybody on that side knows he didn’t need any more money than he had coming from the KKK deal.

Regarding being “over the line” Morris has always come close to giving someone a cause to sue him blind, but this is the first time he’s obviously cleared all the hurdles.

He must have invested his stash with Bernie Madoff because if he still had some good lawyers around he would not have exposed himself to suit this way.

Time to clean his pockets!

[muawiyah]

Uhh, that’s not the one he uses to sign checks.

[Chode]

i'd love to see a hand writing analysis on that scrawl of his.

What is it with these crazy Democrat administration hacks with the name of Janet. They always look like a Bigfoot that's been shaved and put in a dress.
