Southern Poverty Law Center Finally Getting Called to Task

They have been insulting anyone and everyone they don't like for too damn long, with no evidence needed. From The Daily Signal: Kash Patel Confirms FBI Cut All Ties to SPLC

The FBI has confirmed that it severed all ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left activist group that puts conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” along with Ku Klux Klan chapters. The “hate map” has inspired at least one terrorist attack against a conservative organization.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.”

This is a fairly long article, but this one point will show where they stand, though you should read the whole thing.

The SPLC added Turning Point USA to the “hate map” mere months before an assassin with a transgender boyfriend allegedly murdered Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

I don't doubt that once upon a time, the SPLC did good work. That was long ago. Now they smear anyone and everyone they have a political disagreement with.

Then there is the SPLC's anti-Christian bias. Click thru for the whole story.

If they are in the business of identifying extremists, then that is what they are going to do, even if they have to defame people like Charlie Kirk.

I know this is old news, but I came across it on Friday afternoon, and burying it on the weekend didn't seem right.
