SPLC Hit With Civil Racketeering Suit

The Washington Times

One of the most prominent groups advocating for stricter immigration went to court Wednesday to demand a judge order the Southern Poverty Law Center to stop labeling it a “hate group,” accusing the self-described watchdog of running an illegal racket to silence political opponents.

The Center for Immigration Studies says the SPLC’s accusations that it is racist and anti-immigrant are wrong and have cost the nonprofit support and financial backing by scaring people away from doing business with the center.

The center brought its challenge to U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by filing a civil complaint under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act against SPLC President Richard Cohen and Heidi Beirich, who runs the group’s Hatewatch blog. More

  1. …Oh, you mean it’s NOT OK to libel people who don’t agree with your politics?

    …wow, the Democrat Party wouldn’t even be able to hold a HEARING if this holds up in court.

    …which is why a “judge” will toss it, because “the motion could throw the political process into “disarray””, and we can’t have THAT now, CAN we?

    …if the 9th can’t shut it down, then they’ll just have Hillary arrange a “suicide”. It’s what they DO, it’s who they ARE, they CAN’T be any other way…

  2. The DOJ needs to get behind inside walls of each and every one of the left’s pet “civil rights advocates” and start auditing like a man possessed. The arrogance of the bastards knows no limit and they have been immune from any scrutiny for decades.

  3. Want open some eyes about the KKK?
    The KKK went Bankrupt about 30+ years ago when it lost a suit $7 million judgment. So Lawyers from the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Black-American Mother suing them took control the KKK HQ and all assets. Including decals, hoods sheets, patches and etc.

    Thus making the Southern Poverty Law Center, a Black-American woman and the DNC owners of the KKK name, and assets.

    So when we speak of the KKK remember Name and etc. are Black-American, SPLC and Democrat owned now. At least until the judgment is completely paid off.
