There is no legal definition of "hate group," which is why even the FBI does not track "hate groups."<br /><br />The SPLC uses the deliberately meaningless term "hate group" to attack its perceived enemies without accusing them of any actual crimes.<br /><br />"Hate group" means anything the SPLC says it does, and since their fund raising relies directly on a perceived ever-increasing threat, it's little wonder the number goes up every year.<br /><br />The SPLC is a private fund raising group with nearly $190 MILLION dollars in cash on hand.<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow"> http://wp.me/pCLYZ-6I</a><br /><br />They have no mandate, no authority, legal or moral, to designate anyone as anything. The SPLC has no more right to designate "hate groups" than does the SPCA.<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 /><a href="%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow"> http://wp.me/pCLYZ-67</a><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
