This is c&p from a conservative friend on social media.
"SPLC is an alt-Left group that is not credible as an information source. They slap race hate labels on any organization with which they disagree; then put them in a list with actual hate groups to generate guilt by association. A trick learned from the NAZIs"
I never realized the SPLC was in the propaganda business?
alt-Left? alt-Left? THERE IS NO SUCH THING as alt-Left. There is no corollary to the heinous alt-right! Such an organization or school of thought does not exist.
Don't let their propaganda machinery construct one! I don't want to hear Hannity whining about that mean nasty alt-left and why they hate America and Christmas.
RESIST!

(1,148 posts)It's astonishing how many memes circulating among conservatives have origins in the far right.
All one has to do is read the SPLC's articles - they explain WHY this or that group is a hate group.
Deny the SPLC, deny hate groups and anti-government groups exist. That's the goal of attacking the
SPLC.
They might as well attack the ADL.

(1,148 posts)They see the term "alt-right" and think the "left" came up with it. The left did not come up with it - it is a self-designation from the far right.

This is one of the right's tactics: they see an "alt right" being denounced, so instead of renouncing the "alt-right", they come up with an "alt-left". Ditto with "fake news". Trump stole that term from the left, who were complaining about REAL fake news sites that were being circulated by right-wingers on Facebook.
Just shows that they have NO ethics anymore. When they do this, they encourage the fascists to keep posting.
