Does it get tax money, I'm sure it does.

SPLC is endowment funded but not tax funded. They also have funds acquired as damages against Aryan Nations, Imperialist KKK, White Supremacist "churches", and other revolting ilk. Not exactly pure evil.

“”They also have funds acquired as damages against Aryan Nations, Imperialist KKK, White Supremacist “churches”, and other revolting ilk.””

Pish, posh. When was the last time you saw one of these boogey people. Never in my life have I seen or met one. The SPLC is a level 1 left wing group making money using the likes of Revs Jackson and Sharpton. The SPLC levels accusations of racism unjustly, branding as “bigoted” many groups and individuals whose only crime lies in their refusal to embrace the SPLC’s leftwing agenda. Some accuse the SPLC of pursuing revenue rather than justice, by orchestrating fundraising campaigns that exaggerate the prevalence of racism to ensure a steady stream of donations from the Center’s alarmed supporters. The SPLC consistently claims to detect evidence of white racism infesting virtually every crevice of American society. The Center states, for instance, “Like most of the southeastern U.S., Georgia has seen an explosion in Hispanic immigration in recent years — over a half million since 1990 alone. As hate groups exploit the racial tension stemming from the area’s growth, locals have launched violent attacks against immigrant workers.”

The SPLC’s ideological biases are evident in its map of Active U.S. Hate Groups. Although the SPLC denounces extremist religious groups like the Jewish Defense League and Westboro Baptist Church, no mention is made of even a single extremist Muslim group. Similarly, while far-right groups like the Council of Conservative Citizens are tagged as hate groups, the SPLC withholds judgment on extremist leftwing groups. The aforementioned Intelligence Project, an SPLC initiative that monitors hate and extremist groups around the United States, is conspicuously selective in its scrutiny. Whereas rightwing groups are routinely the subjects of Intelligence Project reports, the political left, as evidenced by the dearth of critical literature, is above suspicion. In 2003, for instance, the SPLC hosted a forum called “Right-Wing Extremism in a Transatlantic Perspective,” which, as one SPLC report noted, sought to develop strategies to combat “the radical right.” Of the radical left, no mention was made.

Are you 100% sure they get no tax money? And I see Neoliberalnot has already responded. SPLC is the twin, almost, of the ACLU. “All Commies/Criminals Love Us”.

The SPLC goes after conservative causes and organizations primarily, and such their victims’ blood. The SPLC is an ultra leftist and therefore by definition, evil organization.
