Christian groups are celebrating with the news that the Federal Bureau of Investigation appears to have scrubbed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) from its hate crimes webpage, where the controversial group was listed as a resource and referred to as a partner in public outreach.
A letter to the U.S. Department of Justice, drafted by Lieutenant General (Ret.) William G. Boykin, Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council (FRC), calls such an association "completely unacceptable."
Signed by fourteen other conservative and Christian leaders, the letter calls SPLC "a heavily politicized organization producing inaccurate and biased data on 'hate groups' – not hate crimes." It accuses the SPLC of "providing findings that are not consistent with trends found in the FBI statistics." Where the FBI has found hate crimes and hate groups declining significantly in the past ten years, SPLC claims hate groups have increased 67.3% since 2000. Where once SPLC's hate list was reserved for groups like the Aryan Nation and the KKK, in 2010 SPLC started citing as hate groups those Christian groups that oppose same-sex marriage or believe homosexuality is not inborn, or are otherwise critical of homosexuality. Among the Christian groups targeted by SPLC was FRC.

Excellent news! the death of the communist front group, SPLC, begins now.
Even tehy won’t say it, but I will: SPLC is a hate group. Period.
What they shoulda done is move it to the other side of the line, and declared it a Hate Crime Instigator.
Absolutely!
GMTA.
Wasn’t copying, honest.
Sure is a lot of anti-liberal things happening at the FBI today...
Hope it’s a trend.
OH NO! Now the FBI won’t be able to find me!
That...and Morris Dees' personal piggybank.
Maybe the FBI was getting sick and tired of all the multiple false leads?
And also because all the false leads were always out in the country and far far away from the in town doughnut shops...
It’s way past time they did but it’s good news.
I prefer the term ‘Cultural Terrorist Organizations’. And I apply it to the Freedom From Religion Foundation too.
Great. They are a hate group.
I wonder if Morris Dees hates his own skin color?
You’re a celebrity. LOL
A Self Loathing...Negro? Could VERY WELL be!
Nah, them Feebs’id have a purty day-off drivin’ in the senshine and then sit down with the milishamun for some beer ‘n’ tasty ribs en sech ‘efore heddin’ home. They didn’ mine them false leads at’all.
I’m starting to see the Country moving towards Putin and just dismissing the President and his party.
