The Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted WND with one of its well-practiced smears.
SPLC, a self-styled “civil rights” organization, has attempted to discredit WND by associating the organization with a group that indulged in a negligible amount of over-the-top rhetoric.
SPLC has come under fire in the past for using a political bullying technique called “bracketing,” in which a respectable organization is smeared by linking it to racist or violent groups. Just last week, WND reported on SPLC efforts to “bracket” the nation’s most prestigious pro-family organizations by labeling them “haters” of homosexuals.
“The SPLC is a marginal, fringe, extremist organization that establishes its own credibility and fund-raising base by attacking others as marginal, fringe and extremist” said Joseph Farah, founder of WND. “They employ the worst kinds of Saul Alinsky-style tactics, but they are nothing more than a hate-mongering machine that slimes others for fun and profit. I think most informed people on the left and right recognize this fact – but it still bears repeating over and over for those who have not caught on to their modus operandi.”
In an article headlined “Patriot Rhetoric Becomes Increasingly Violent,” SPLC described the group, the American Policy Center, as a “conspiracy-minded” arm of the “Patriot movement,” which is “determined to take back the country for the people.” APC describes itself as an advocate of free markets and limited government.
SPLC wrote that speakers at APC’s August, 2010 Freedom Action National Conference were “united by rage” at the federal government.

WND, if you think that Obama wants you GONE, you're right again! Yes, he's even more dangerous than either Wilson or FDR combined. Watch!
The SPLC is as much of a frud and a joke as is the organization CAIR, they work by inuedo and will not offer up evidence to their claims, they cannot in all likliehood be considered a serious opinion in any matter. Ask them to show you the BC of this shill Barry Sotero and they will balk, even though they claimed on national TV they had access to this doucument. They offer nothing more than a pack of lies.
If all the communists in the southern poverty law center were removed the organization would not exist . The SPLC and the ACLU are nothing more than shills for the communist party USA , and their only goal is the destruction of the Free Republic and her Constitution . There are no lower life forms than their membership . I have a great deal more respect for s–t eating maggots . I do not hate homosexuals , I hate their filthy , gross , disgusting activities , I do not hate abortionists , I hate their murderous activities , I do not hate Muslims , I hate their hatefull religion . The only people I hate are SPLC and ACLU members .
They are not going anywhere if YOU don't do something to stop them, so get off your lazy Fat BUTTS and get busy, Write, Fax, email call your congress and senate people now do it daily ten times per day 100 if it takes that.
