The Left-fascists are moving in for the kill.
“CNN, MSNBC Air Misleading Liberal ‘Hate Map,’” by Trey Elmore, ChurchMilitant.com, August 17, 2017:
DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) – In the aftermath of the Charlottesville clashes between white supremacists and Antifa resulting in the death of 32-year-old Heather Hayer, mainstream news media has taken to referencing the far Left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as their authority on the prevalence of extremist groups in the United States.
CNN and MSNBC have both featured the SPLC’s “hate map” in their on-air discussions of extremism in the United States. An article published on CNN’s website Thursday also makes use of the SPLC hate map. On Wednesday, The Atlantic posted a video, featuring the director of the SPLC, Heidi Beirich, titled “Hate Groups Are Growing Under Trump.”
The hate map lists every local chapter of groups like the KKK, skinhead groups, as well as the Nation of Islam. Also listed on the map are pro-traditional marriage and pro-life groups such as the Ruth Institute, headed up by past Mic’D Up guest Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, the pro-religious freedom, legal non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom, as well as such pro-life and pro-family Christian organizations as the American Family Association and the Family Research Council. The SPLC made headlines when it named the FRC to its list in 2010. All of these are listed under the category “anti-LGBT.”
Each of the listed 22 chapters of the national security interest group ACT For America is listed under the category “anti-Muslim.” ACT For America’s policy statement, however, reads as follows regarding their mission and stance on Muslims:
ACT For America has never and will never tolerate any bias, discrimination or violence against anyone, based on their religion, gender, race or political persuasion. Freedom to practice one’s religion in peace is afforded to each of us by the U.S. Constitution and we will defend it vigorously. Through our advocacy and activism, we will continue to address the threat presented by those who seek to destroy our Western way of life through advocating violence or radical religious discrimination through hate groups such as those represented by movements like radical Islam. We stand shoulder to shoulder with peaceful Western Muslims and peaceful Muslims worldwide, who recognize this threat and have taken bold actions to confront it.
The SPLC claims that there are 917 “active hate groups” in the United States. These include the 22 ACT For America groups belonging to the “anti-Muslim” category, which totals 101 organizations….
The SPLC lists the website JihadWatch.org, headed up by MIC’d Up guest and friend of Church Militant Robert Spencer, but doesn’t have a category for radical Islam or a listing of radical mosques in the United States. Such radical Islamic groups are tracked by the Clarion Project, which is also considered a hate group by the SPLC.
Omi-san says
Phew, glad to see there are ZERO Islamist groups in the USA!
mortimer says
Omi-San… with respect… ALL MOSQUES are SUPREMACIST HATE CENTERS that teach the ESSENTIAL doctrine of AL WALAA WAL BARAA (allegiance and disavowal…hatred of kafirs).
See not below.
John Forbes says
AMERICA can still deal with the issues as the % of Muslims is still low ! SOROS who is very open about his agenda of Chaos says the US will be the hardest to CRACK !
I am hoping AMERICA under TRUMP wakes up & attacks SOROS & CAIR & People like LINDA SARSOUR & others to stop the SPREAD of SHARIA & all other threats to DEMOCRACY !

Tim says
They need to put my address on that list. Because I am beginning to really hate fricken liberals.
underbed cat says
I know the feeling….thanks for the laugh.
Tom Cherian says
This will continue until there will be a right leaning hate trackers who will club KKK, MSBC, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, all as hate groups.
Joe says
You should add ABC, CBS, NBC, and the Clinton Foundation.
John Harper says
How many people are needed to constitute a group and how do I form one to become an addition to their list?
somehistory says
My state is completely covered.
This is just hate-mongering…using the word “hate” to monger up trouble for those who stand for truth and life.
Pro-life, family groups, those in favor of freedom of speech…. reminds of the list the government under what’s her face…the head of the dhl who now works at doing the same for the university system in CA..napolitano (sp/). She listed everyone that doesn’t pose a danger and risk to life and limb and protected the moslum groups who do.
The splc…is doing the same thing. Who made them the *authority* anyway? As the old saying used to be, “Who died and made you king?” Since when does a guy who is less than truthful get to make up the rules about who is a hate group?
Demsci says
Right. They can be or have no authority. It’s just their opinion. Much of it not based on any laws. Not even, it seems, based on clear, reasonable definitions. In theory in defense of the victims they mention; minority groups, Muslims, LGBT-people etc.
Yes, if “groups” do engage in violence and oppression and intention to use it, against other groups, that would be wrong, but that already is against the law!
But the SPLC is helping those “victims” now through negative campaigning. But in a free society it is much better to answer perceived “bad speech” with “good speech”.
And anyway, it is very myopic, in the increasingly connected world, to exclusively focus on what organisations operate in America, that allegedly promote “hatred” or real violence.
What about a worldwide view of all such groups? AND governments. When is taken also into account the “hatred of victims or potential victims or family and co-religionists of victims against proven guilty perpetrators and their supporters?”.
The point being that when there are 2 sides attacking each other, on a by now global scale, it is very unfair and counterproductive to only try to bring down the one (domestic) side while admitting leaving alone it’s antagonist organisations elsewhere in the world, doing their dirty work for them.
guest says
Why aren’t falsely accused groups suing the SPLC and the media spreading this libel?
Adrian Johnson says
They definitely need to do this, as a class action suit. Any decent lawyers out there want to start the ball rolling and solicit these groups to fight back ?
Georg says
Don’t imagine the mosque in Boston that pumped out a number of terrorists or the one chaired by Anwar al-Awlaki which ushered in 9/11 terrorists made it on there. How about the mosque in California hosting imams calling for the genocide of Jews? Seems to be a map of locations of those taking exception to it all.

Steve K says
Anyone who the left defames as racist etc, and has the means should sue them.
Steve K says
This is the left’s goal, declare EVERTHING and ANYTHING that disagrees with their agenda hate speech thus silencing all dssent.
They
Are
Totalitarians
gravenimage says
CNN, MSNBC, The Atlantic publicize SPLC’s Left-biased and defamatory “hate group” map
…………….
As the SPLC would have it, hate and opposing hate are morally equivalent–standing against FGM, pedophilia, rape, oppression, mass murder and genocide is “hate”. Madness.
Lydia says
They are totally biased.
And I am an extremist, and proud.
I am an ‘extremist’ Christian (actually a normal Christian who just follows it all as much and best as I can, with His help of course), who loves God and my neighbor and even my enemy, I give to the poor, etc. and do these things ‘extremely.’ One of the people I at my ladies’ Bible study that I teach calls me ‘hardcore.’ Well, I certainly hope so! The more jewels on my crown in heaven!!!
Am honored to have made the cut of ‘extremist’ in that sense. If it makes me a target, it makes me a target.

Germany is totalitarian again. Islam critic Michael Stuerzenberger has just been given 6 months jail for showing the historical photo of Hitler with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem on facebook.
Please read up here: http://gatesofvienna.net/2017/08/interview-with-michael-sturzenberger-about-his-trial/
and http://gatesofvienna.net/2017/08/michael-sturzenberger-six-months-in-prison-for-posting-a-photo-of-hitler-and-the-mufti-on-facebook/
Probation for years, during which he’s not allowed to insult islam.
Please spread this information far and wide: it’s the future of the west if we don’t protect free speech.
Is this what these anti liberal ‘Liberals’ in the US want?
John S. Obeda says
How sad that his nation puts him into prison for what is true.. God keep us all faithful in holding on to the truth and then God help us to pay the consequences for doing so. Isn’t truth even more precious than our life? I mean, should we not be willing to die for the truth? Happy, indeed, are the people of the nation that are ruled by truth.

The way the Leftards are going, they will describe Christianity and Judaism as ‘hate’ and they will describe Islamic Jihad as ‘love’.

ISLAM HAS AN AUTHENTIC DOCTRINE OF HATE called ‘AL BARAA’ = Islamic Apartheid, Shunning
Al Bughoud = Hatred of Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love of Muslims), it is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
– Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/

The SPLC’s map of hate groups has its own obvious, clear bias. This specific SPLC page on Jihad Watch page is mostly nonsense. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/robert-spencer
The SPLC has a contact page. I sent a politic comment that they have head in sand to conflate Jihad Watch with Daily Stormer, an actual hate group.
Both the nativist right and anarchist left are scary. May the US electoral, constitutional structures contain its political pendulum.
John S. Obeda says
Thank you Yohanan for the link. I just read what SPLC has on Mr. Spencer. We just have to live with people who refuse to see the truth and fight them. Jesus, Who came from heaven and IS the Truth died because of man who refused to believe the truth. So we’re not surprised what happens to us in this world that does not want the truth. God keep us faithful.
tgusa says
It is 1938 in America and if you support our President it is no different than Germans not supporting Hitler way back when. I have witnessed this first hand. Never thought I could completely understand that but I do now. The country can never recover from this leftist democrat circle of hate. There seems to be a lot of companies that are just fine with this as well. I sincerely hope that they all get everything they deserve.
pro-life says
Greetings fellow haters.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I fully expect for some day soon when the criminal code will be changes to outlaw hate.
Mila says
Oh, glad to see there are tons of “hate” groups in the state I live in. That way I can join them in “hating” muslims. (Never mind that our neighbor and friend is a muslim…)
