SPLC Deletes Articles, Apologizes For Labeling Journalists As Nazis, Russian Puppets
All should sue, as these are the new rules and even more so for the SPLC, given that they have actually inspired alt-left domestic terrorists in the past (Floyd Lee Corkins).
Quote:On March 9, 2018, we posted an article on our Hatewatch blog entitled “The multipolar spin: how fascists operationalize left-wing resentment.”
Shortly after its publication, we received complaints registered by or on behalf of several journalists mentioned in the article that it falsely described one or another of them as white supremacists, fascists, and/or anti-Semites, and falsely accused them of engaging in a conspiracy with the Putin regime to promote such views. Because neither we nor the article’s author intended to make any such accusations, we took it down while we re-examined its contents.
That re-examination has caused us to conclude that, while the intent of the article, which we thought was clear at the time of publication, was to show only that individuals on the left share some policy views with respect to multipolarism that are also held by the far right and/or appear on far-right media and conferences advocating them, the article did not make that point as clearly as it could or should have.
Accordingly, we have decided not to re-post it. In addition, we extend a sincere apology to those who believe they have been falsely described in it, including Max Blumenthal, Ben Norton, Tim Pool, Rania Khalek, and Brian Becker, and disclaim, as clearly as we can, any intention to suggest that any of them are white supremacists, fascists, and/or anti-Semites, that they hold such views, or that they are engaged in a conspiracy with the Russian government to promote such views or otherwise.

I am. They are a vital organization, run by wonderful people, who perform a vital public service. As a minority who grew up in Alabama, I'm very grateful to them for their work. I donate to them and they're in my will. I'm proud to support them. Morris Deas and Mark Potok have spent a lifetime fighting bigotry and hate, sometimes at great personal cost.
From fighting the Klan, to calling out hate organizations like the Family Research Council, they've provided valuable resources.

You knew this was coming. Please tell me how Catholic organizations and Jeanine Pirro are targeted by this group , yet Antifa is not.
Barbwire? No. Not going to even read it. Might as well quote Stormwatch or Fred Phelps. And even without reading it, I'd not be surprised if he quoted C-FAM or Austin Ruse in the article, which you can add as a Fred Phelps level source IMHO.

Minority?
Aren't you an American, white, male? In what sense are you a minority, these days?
I mean, we ARE, but I dont claim that cause I get the identity politics game.
But, aren't White, educated, healthy, employed, affluent, males the very definition of a NOT minority? By your own words, does that not describe you? Yachting with Sultan of Brunei, and all?
This all gets very confusing. Can someone please clean up aisle 6?!?

I am a Gay male. That is a minority that experiences frequent discrimination and defamation in Alabama. The SPLC does vital work helping us identify the worst offenders, track their activities, and help publicize their abusive rhetoric and policies to a broader audience.
LOL. I think that the Matt Barbers, or Austin Ruses of the world would be more likely to be hanging out with the Sultan of Brunei, who is a big proponent of criminal sanctions on being LGBT.

Of course Tom is a minority, as he lives a degenerate lifestyle. I am compelled to tolerate it, but I will never accept or endorse it. Do I discriminate against it, no. But that is not good enough for Tom. It is really a shame that he demands validation for his lifestyle, while I ask nothing more than to not be bothered with his. Hypocrite.

I feel your Christian love. It is so nice to have such wonderful examples as yours of His grace to show the world. The world will know you by your works.
I'll let you get back to reading the works of Matt Barber and/or Fred Phelps, which is possibly where you'd get such views.

You're gay?
So what, as far as "minority" status?
As a white, male, educated, affluent person, how on earth would anyyone ever know that?
How would you know if I may, or may not be, gay or straight myself?
Pheromones?
I keep my private life pretty close to the vest, if you decide to do otherwise, why's that society's problem to protect for you?

Not a religious post, but feel free to make up crap to support your victimization narrative. Again, for the record, I take no action against you for what you do behind closed doors, but I reserve the right to not agree with nor condone the degenerate acts you perform. If that offends you , so be it. You offend me, but I am not that loser demanding validation for the way I live my life.

this this and more of this.....
tommy gang bang chooses to opine about his lifestyle in a way that implies and demeans heteros as being the scourge of the planet....
hell, I've told him on a number of occasions my first roomy was gay and still caught flack over it....
you can't discuss rationally with whiny 'woe is me' folk like him....
one day he'll realize he's always lived in a vacuum that most folk couldn't care less about until they open their yammer with self indignation and horseshite rhetoric.....
he's no different than the white shirts riding the bikes and knocking on doors.....
believe what you want......most don't care these days until you toss that bs in their face.....
ol' tommy is a purist when it comes to trolling.....there's a pic of him next to the written definition....

RE: SPLC Deletes Articles, Apologizes For Labeling Journalists As Nazis, Russian Puppets
The SPLC is a grotesque organization. It deserves to die.
It does nothing useful for anybody expect its owners who have made millions upon millions of dollars.
This tack towards the middle, if you can call it that, is nothing more than a forlorn attempt to keep the gravy train rolling for a few more years since people are increasingly seeing it for what the organization really is.
I have to say though, they have a wonderful building with a very cool garage. I once got my Jaguar stuck on the exit because it was so low. I will give credit where it is due, the SPLC paid for the damage to the car--$6200.
