That's what they and the Devil's own son Obama are counting on. That is exactly the result they were looking for.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a far-left outfit that labels mainstream conservative organizations "hate groups" and whose "hate map" inspired a terrorist attack in 2012, has released a map of every Confederate monument in America. But the map does not just include statues: it also lists towns, cities, counties, and even middle schools that bear the names of Confederate generals.
"More than 1,500 Confederate monuments stand in communities like Charlottesville with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed," the SPLC posted with the map (emphasis added). "It's time to take them down" (emphasis original).
The post urges visitors to send a letter to the editor of their local newspaper. "White supremacists incited deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, last week in defense of a Confederate monument. We must show the country that [your city's or county's name] gives no safe harbor to such hatred. We must remove the monument at [location]," the sample letter read.
"If our government continues to pay homage to the Confederacy, people of color can never be sure they will be treated fairly," the letter continued. "And we will never solve our community's problems if an entire group of citizens is alienated or feels targeted for discrimination."
As is often the case when the SPLC takes up a cause, this issue is far from clear cut. An NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that 62 percent of Americans supported leaving "statues honoring leaders of the Confederacy" standing. At the same time, 86 percent of those in the poll said they disagreed with white supremacy and 73 percent said they disagreed with white nationalists.
Even African Americans favored keeping the statues (44 percent to 40 percent). Indeed, a group in Dallas organized to protect Confederate statues — and the members are mostly African-American.
"I'm not intimidated by Robert E. Lee's statue. I'm not intimidated by it. It doesn't scare me," former city council member Sandra Crenshaw, a black woman, told CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. "We don't want America to think that all African Americans are supportive of" removing the statues. She denounced as "misguided" the idea that "by taking a statue down, that's going to erase racism."
But the SPLC not only encourages this "misguided" idea, it warns of "more turmoil and bloodshed" unless the statues are removed.
SLC Backs Down: Removes Innocent Town From "Hate Map" The group does not only list statues, either. Its Confederate map includes counties named after Confederate generals like Lee County, Fla., in the Fort Myers area. It also includes parks like Confederate Park in Demopolis, Ala. It lists cities like the city of Fort Bragg in California.
Most dangerous of all, the map lists dozens of schools, including: Jeff Davis Middle School in Hazlehurst, Ga.; Lee Elementary School in Tulsa, Okla.; Robert E. Lee Elementary School in Columbia, Mo.; J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School in Richmond, Va.; Robert E. Lee Elementary School in Petersburg, Va.; and Stonewall Jackson Elementary School in Bristol, Ga.
This listing of schools is utterly vile behavior, given the SPLC's track record of inspiring politically motivated violence.
The SPLC's "hate map," a similar graphic to the Confederate map, inspired a terror attack in 2012. That summer, Floyd Lee Corkins III broke into the Family Research Council (FRC) in Washington, D.C., aiming to murder everyone in the building. In February 2013, Corkins pled guilty to committing an act of terrorism and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. During an FBI interrogation, the shooter said he targeted FRC because it was listed as an "anti-gay group" on the SPLC website.
Bloodshed is what those Maoist pigs are all about.
Warning of “Terror and bloodshed”.
Couldn’t that just as easily be a headline about ISIS?
Just askin’
SPLC transfers millions offshore...
Well golly, I hope they sure get on this bandwagon with respect to mosques...
The SPLC had some decency to leave out memorials and statues on battlefield sites. But they decided the non-battlefield park memorials for Confederate soldiers including grave sites are “hate”.
A terrorist organization is issuing threats. Nothing to see here. Move along.

That’s it SPLC - trying to make things happen, eh? Just like Antifa thugs.
Let’s put SPLC’s David Ruenzel on the case immediately. Oh wait, we can’t. He’s dead. He was murdered.

[“Some liberals, most of which are ego-soaked, look for ways to support their self-perceived importance so they champion imaginary causes for that purpose,” Newburn said. “They are adult-children who feel free to construct fantasies about their greatness. Their narcissism in part functions to blind them to inconvenient realities. So to compensate, they idealize the targets of their misdirected and pathological ‘caring.’”]
WTH?
Seems like they want to fight the Civil War all over again?
What is wrong with these people?
No, you dolts at SPLC, the turmoil (which may lead to bloodshed) is what will occur if you try to remove the statues and memorials. The memorials do not actually affect anyone. But efforts to remove them will cause “an entire group of citizens [to be] alienated and feel targeted for discrimination.”
Is there a map of where the SPLC members live?
[ What is wrong with these people? ]
Liberalism. It’s an actual mental disorder.
If someone thinks Bruce Jenner is actually a woman, they’ve got a serious mental disorder and should be institutionalized.
“SPLC transfers millions offshore..”
Things that make you go hmmm...
Time for a RICO investigation.
The only turmoil and bloodshed should be that of the SPLC.

Did they put the sites in crosshairs?
SPLC is a terrorist supporting hate group
Their offshore accounts are of great concern as well:
Did these libtards include the schools, highways, etc. in West Virginia named after klansman Robert K. Byrd?
