WaPo Columnist: ‘Southern Poverty Law Center Has Lost All Credibility’

Breitbart: “After years of smearing good people with false charges of bigotry, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has finally been held to account,” Marc Thiessen writes in his latest Washington Post column, regarding the SPLC’s $3.375 million settlement and public apology to Maajid Nawaz, a former Islamic radical-turned-reformer who the SPLC included in its “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.”

Thiessen explains how the SPLC, “a once-storied organization that did important work filing civil rights lawsuits against the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s,” has in recent years become “a caricature of itself” by “labeling virtually anyone who does not fall in line with its left-wing ideology an ‘extremist’ or ‘hate group.’” more here

  1. I think the only reasons they filed those lawsuits against the klan was for money and notoriety. Looking at it from this end of time, I don’t believe any of them did anything to benefit black people. And they cannot prove me wrong, simply because they became what they are today.

  2. I’m half black and I 100% have not and would not associate with the ACLU.
    Anyone they represent looks guilty.
    Anyone they stand up for is wrong.
    Everyone they promote are more bigoted, corrupt and evil than they are. And they just want to be boosted by it with cash and prizes.
    They’re just an agent for hate groups.

    The Sophomoric Preposterous Lie Cabal certainly is an agent for hate groups. But “just”? I suggest that they are themselves a hate group, targeting their hatred at any person or group that fails to share their left-collectivist obsessions.

  4. SPLC – a Communist front group from its inception.
    It only had “credibility” amongst other communist groups.
    (WaPo being one of them, as cfm990 wrote)

    A pox on BOTH their houses!
