re: This SPLC Thing is a Bigger Deal Than Most Realize

Are there any real "hate crimes" out there happening? Seems everyone that gets any attention is proven to be fake, and now this cast doubt on the very movements that purport to be pushing "hate"

This is more evidence that we have all been living in a curated existence for the past decade. Everything is fake, from what movies are popular, to what issues people care about, to what people are protesting, to elections, etc.

Fake Fake Fake

This is a strange take.

But it's what the spin wants people to project.

I can't think of a single one that doesn't have the left's fingerprints all over it.

quote:

The SPLC deliberately blurs the distinction between true hate groups, peaceful activists, and reputable organizations with which it disagrees.... What many of the individuals and groups condemned by the SPLC have in common is a conservative orientation.

Favoring traditional marriage becomes the moral equivalent of cross-burning; opposing illegal immigration or amnesty for illegal immigrants equates to advocating genocide; resisting the spread of radical Islam invokes Timothy McVeigh; and anti-tax Tea Party groups are now indistinguishable from armed militias or Holocaust deniers.

Thus, dissent is de-legitimatized, and political foes are demonized. All those who oppose the Left are, by definition, 'fascists,' 'white nationalists,' 'Islamophobes,' 'hate groups,' or 'extremists.'”

One of SPLC's most highly touted initiatives is its Teaching Tolerance program, which works to “foster school environments that are inclusive and nurturing,” and to help teachers “prepare a new generation to live in a diverse world.”

In addition to “Anti-LGBT,” “Anti-Muslim,” and “Anti-Immigrant,” SPLC has also compiled relatively small lists of hate groups categorized as “Christian Identity,” “Hate Music,” “Holocaust Denial,” “General Hate,” and “Black Separatist” (which contains only a small number of different groups, but lists their multiple chapters as separate entities).

In 2010 alone, the Center took in more than $36.1 million in contributions and grants, plus another $2.3 million in investment income. By the end of that fiscal year, its total assets amounted to $260,547,642.

Among the philanthropies that have given large sums of money to SPLC are the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the J.M. Kaplan Fund, the Minneapolis Foundation, George Soros's Open Society Institute, the Ploughshares Fund, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Vanguard Public Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

If you are cool with the SPLC hiring the very people they claim to be against,

"Hiring" isn't accurate.

They paid snitches for information. It's more of a 1099 relationship.

to stage violent protests

Not accurate

The protests were all part of the organic structure of the organizations. The snitches may have participated, but they would have but-for the SPLC payments.

This is why the legitimacy of the snitches and their status is so important.

It's nothing like that. That was 100% fully fabricated. Nothing about that story was true.

Staging a fake incident and hiring someone to create an actual incident that would not naturally occur are distinctions without a difference. Both are fake.

SFP fails yet again

This is exactly how the NGO industrial complex functions. They perpetuate the "problem" they are purporting to fix or fight. Just like the medical industry doesn't cure anything any more. The money is in the treatment of the problem, not eliminating it. You eliminate the problem, you eliminate the flow of their money... executive directors making $300K a year, and the organizations kicking back to the politicians who helped fund them by writing checks to their political campaigns etc. Exactly how the homeless and drug addiction NGOs function too.

I'm glad this administration is cutting NGOs out of the loop. I expect we will hear more stories like this regarding other NGOs.
