Since the violence in Charlottesville, when white supremacists left one young woman dead and 19 others injured, the Southern Poverty Law Center has hit the jackpot. They [are] set to receive millions of dollars in donations from some of the nations deepest of pockets. Apple pledged $1 million. JP Morgan Chase & Co.: half a million. George and Amal Clooney even got in on the action, promising to donate another $1 million.
But is donating money to the S.P.L.C. the best way to combat this[racist] poison? I think not. If Tim Cook and Jamie Dimon had done their due diligence, they would know that the S.P.L.C. is an organization that has lost its way, smearing people who are fighting for liberty and turning a blind eye to an ideology and political movement that has much in common with Nazism.
I am a black woman, a feminist and a former Muslim who has consistently opposed political violence. The price for expressing my beliefs has been high: I must travel with armed security at all times. My friend and collaborator Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight.
Yet the S.P.L.C. has the audacity to label me an extremist, including my name in a Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists that it published on its website last October.

Muslims today cannot freely debate the role of their religion in most Muslim-majority countries, where the charges of heresy or apostasy can mean a death sentence or a lynch mob. Here in the West, too, free discussion of Islam is getting harder not least because Islamic organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations pounce on any criticism of Islam, branding it hate speech, the modern word for heresy.... We need to find more trustworthy and deserving partners to work with than the S.P.L.C.

Linda Sarsour is the person I was thinking of. again sorry.
Indeed it is and IS also a hate group - I don’t know why whatever they are organized under isn’t yanked from them. Conservative groups can’t get approved and this monstrosity is ruining conservative Christian organizations...Liberty Counsel is fighting them tooth and nail but they need help to continue the fight. This from an email alert today:
::GOOGLE has joined the growing far-left avalanche of attacks inspired the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) “hate” war that openly targets Liberty Counsel and other pro-faith, pro-family organizations.
This week, Google announced that is is partnering with the George Soros-funded ProPublica which, in association with the SPLC, has just launched a “Documenting Hate News Index.” The Soros-backed ProPublica is now using Google-driven “news” data to create a master database to document “hate crimes and bias incidents” for use by “journalists, researchers and civil-rights organizations.
The SPLC’s “hate map” is rapidly expanding into a super high-tech database driven by Google data and built on the latest in “machine learning.” And Liberty Counsel has confirmed that stories referencing Liberty Counsel and naming us as a “hate group” are, in fact, included in this new Google-Soros-ProPublica master database of “hate.::
We will all be in that database soon. They are so over the top I can’t believe anyone of importance takes them seriously. But they do.

He’s a pervert and shouldn’t be trusted.
