The SPLC's "report" on patriot groups also covers its legal butt by stating that:<br /><br />"Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist."<br /><br />Not violent, not criminal, not racist, but the SPLC felt compelled to "track" them anyhow. It looked good in the fund-raising letters.<br /><br />Oddly enough, the SPLC has been claiming that the number of "hate groups" in America have been increasing about 6% a year, since 2000, (Even though there is no legal definition of "hate group"), and now predicts "an explosion" of groups due to the economy and a black president. (http://wp.me/pCLYZ-K) <br /> <br />And yet, for 2009, the worst year of the current recession, and the first full year of the Obama Administration, the SPLC only reports an increase of SIX "hate groups," or about six-tenths of one percent, the LOWEST alleged increase, according to the SPLC's own numbers, in its history. <br /> <br />So which IS it? Has the number of "hate groups" increased dramatically since President Obama took office, as the SPLC claims, or have they increased by the lowest number in history, as the SPLC claims? <br /> <br />You can't have it both ways, unless your ultimate goal is to gull as many suckers into writing out those donation checks as possible.<br /><br />The most ironic (read: "hypocritical") thing about the Southern Poverty Law Center is that NOT ONE of its top ten, highest paid executives is a minority.<br /><br />http://wp.me/pCLYZ-67<br /><br />In fact, according to the SPLC's hometown newspaper, the Montgomery Advertiser, despite being located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. Martin Luther King's home church, the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of power. <br /><br />Some "experts"Richard Keefehttp://rkeefe57.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
