Amazon serves harsh blow to Christian non-profit group that defends religious freedom
Patriot Chronicles ^ | May 6, 2018 | Daphne Moon

Amazon Smile program allows customers to help benefit the charities of their choice through their purchases. That is unless your ‘charity of choice’ happens to be Alliance Defending Freedom. ADF was just dropped by Amazon as a charity option and Christian consumers are in the dark as to why...

We contacted Amazon to find out what happened, and lo and behold, Amazon informed us that we were removed because the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) determines who is qualified.”

Yes, that SPLC. The one that exploits the terms “hate” and “hate group” against any organization it disagrees with.

Without actually saying it outright, does this mean that SPLC views the non-profit that defends religious freedoms a ‘hate group’? That is what it seems like.

Time for a DOJ civil rights lawsuit coupled with a
“finding” naming the SPLC as a “extremist” group with “ties” with “violent anti-religious” bigots, citing the D.C. attack on the FRC that the SPLC’s “hate map” provoked.

Splc needs to be investigated for tax fraud for all the cash they take in as a “charity” and then send out to questionable offshore locations. In spite of their charter, splc spends very little of the funds raised on litigation. Claw back the funds and void the exemptions claimed by contributors.

How does the Marxist Southern Poverty Law Center ever become the authority on suitability of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)? Has Amazon gone crazy as the Seattle City Council is about to vote on the Head Tax?

It is hard for me to accept an article that is written by someone who uses the name of a character from the television series Frasier. Perhaps it is a legitimate name, but I remain skeptical.

The SPLC needs to be designated a terrorist hate group and any company associated with it as well but give companies 30 days to distance themselves from this hate group.

The SPLC is the biggest racist and hate group in the entire country. Just shows you where Amazon management and Bezos are coming from.

This is far from the first time the SPLC has targeted a Christian organization for its religious beliefs. The "hate" list features Christian organizations like the Family Research Council (FRC), Liberty Counsel, the American Family Association (AFA), and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), along with other groups like the American College of Pediatricians and the Center for Immigration Studies.
