Manhattan blogger Pamela Geller and her posse of anti-Islamic protesters have been branded a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Stop the Islamization of America was included in the civil rights organization's annual roundup of extremist groups - a rogue's gallery that includes everything from the Ku Klux Klan to white supremacists and Nazis.

Geller's group was one of the most vocal opponents of the proposed Islamic Center near Ground Zero.

The group was also behind ads that were placed on city buses urging Muslims to leave "the falsity of Islam."

Geller, who runs a blog called Atlas Shrugs, dismissed the Law Center as an "uber left" group that has "failed to address the greatest threat to our national security."

"My group is a human rights group," she said. "And these people are taken seriously? This is the morally inverted state of the world."

An Islamic organization that has been a frequent target of Geller's barbs said it was not surprised she made the bigot list.

The SPLC is, by the strictest definition, a hate group. They’re liberals, hating on conservatives.

Takes one to know one...

[darkwing104]

I consider the Southern Poverty Law Center a hate group...

[SaraJohnson]

I hope she sues them for slander.

Ya know, even Law & Order admitted the Southern Poverty Law Center was super-Liberal; now that is saying something.

Pam seems to have all the right enemies. If Dees, et al don’t like her, I LOVE her.

SPLC needs to listen to the world’s #9th most influential muslim....

[freekitty]

These fools will say anything.

SPLC labeled being part of a Patriot group an act of hate so, a while back, I sent SPLC an email asking if they were going to label Robert Kraft (owner of the New England Patriots football team) and his staff a hate group, since they call the team ‘Patriots’...I never heard back.

If I got that designation from the SLPC I`d wear it as a badge of honor. They`re deplorable.

SLPC=SPLC

Poverty Center is right. Poverty of spirit, poverty of truth, poverty of decency, poverty of love, poverty of righteousness.

[Frantzie]

I always knew that the SPLC was on the Saudis/Hamas payroll. This is just more proof.

[WashingtonSource]

SLPC is a Marxist anti-American anti-Christian hate group.

[dogcaller]

Have these clowns designated the Tea Party a hate group yet?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I suppose a “Congratulations!” card for Pam is in order.

[henry_reardon]

does anyone really give a crap what the communists at splc have to say?

[PA Engineer]

Well I suppose that makes the The SPLC an anti-semitic and misogynist hate group. It is time to pull their non-profit status.
