Interesting...

Since the insurrection by right wring groups and others, I did a search on the Southern Poveryy Law Center to find out their opinion, I know they are known for keeping track of hate groups and I assumed there would be video out there of Morris Dees talking about it since basically that is their job. I did the search in Youtube and I noticed that most of the videos that popped up are from Fox News talking about exposing the SPLC and their bias.

It sounds like Fox News et al have been trying to discredit the SPLC for a while and what it looks like to me is they were/are trying to protect these hate groups and attempting to persuade their viewers that there are just as many black/muslim hate groups out there. The videos are all from 2 and 3 years ago. This is very interesting. imo, this is one of the ways that Fox made it ok to look the other way on right wing hate groups. What do you guys think?

p.s. I didn't realize SPLC fired their spokesman of many years, Morris Dees.

The problem is it always has been, and SPLC has the facts to back that up.
