Scathing report: Tea partiers just like Timothy McVeigh
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | March 02, 2010 | Bob Unruh

A new attack by the Southern Poverty Law Center charges the tea-party movement is "shot through" with radical ideas and tied with "hate groups," "furious anti-immigrant vigilante groups" and "so-called 'Patriot' groups."

The SPLC report, "Rage on the Right, The Year in Hate and Extremism," assails Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., for "plugging" anti-government ideas and Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt for daring to promote Second Amendment gun rights.

The SPLC's Mark Potok warns "so-called 'Patriot' groups – militias and other organizations that see the federal government as part of a plot to impose 'one-world government' on liberty-loving Americans – came roaring back after years out of the limelight."

The report echoes themes in a U.S. Department of Homeland Security report last year that characterized "right-wing extremists" as opponents of abortion and illegal immigration and supporters of gun rights and third-party political candidates.

The SPLC said the "radical right" "caught fire last year."

"making blanket statements"

There is nothing wrong with generalizing.

The Southern Poverty Law Center trying to remain relevant. Amazing they don’t complain about the communists or fascists that riddle the Osama administration.

"Ho Hum. The SPLC pretending to see racist lynch mobs behind every corner, in a obviously disingenuous attempt to smear any opponents of their twisted left-wing agenda. Nothing new here."

They've got to come up with some reason that justifies their existence even if they have to make it up.

Those people need to scare all the professors in academia into giving money to their coffers.

SPLC is the white Jesse Jackson.

Alinsky techniques....isolate the target, ridicule the target... Watch for it. This is how they will fight the tea party.

Not if they're hauled into court in some high profile defamation cases. Hint HINT!

“Extremist” = “someone who dares to strongly express viewpoints I do not agree with”.

They’re furious there’s no “leader” of the “movement” they can actually attack so they’re trying to smear anyone who goes to a rally and all talk show hosts. There will come a time, soon I’m afraid, when Beck, Hannity, Rush, will be charged with some trumped up crap. The question is will the people sit by and allow it.

I’ve noticed Beck has toned it down a lot. In the begining he was actually using the word “revolution”. I think someone probably warned him that he can do more good on the air than in a cell.

The SPLC is one of the most anti-white government sponsored organization in existence.

This is beyond ridicule and well into the realm of slander.

There is nothing wrong with generalizing.

People who put boxes around their comments are megalomaniacs.
Would you consider that an accurate generalization?

Well, I participate in Tea Parties and I have nothing in common with Timothy McVeigh.

I am nice and friendly and I would never hurt anyone...unless they try to kill me.

Southern Poverty Law Center funded in part by the Open Society Institute. Now where in the Soros have I heard that name before?
