Here is a good summary article about the Daily Beast hit piece on me and what it reveals.
“The Daily Beast article…called Spencer ‘far-right’ and featured the term ‘white supremacist(s)’ three times despite the fact that Spencer is neither.”
That’s what the Left does these days, and there is much more of it coming.
“Report: SPLC, ‘Color of Change’ Played Role in Mastercard Blacklisting Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer,” by Charlie Nash, Breitbart, August 21, 2018:
The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and progressive nonprofit “Color of Change,” which was co-founded by CNN’s Van Jones, reportedly played a role in Mastercard’s financial blacklisting of Islam critic and Jihad Watch owner Robert Spencer.
Last week, Spencer had his account on fundraising platform Patreon shut down, after Mastercard pressured the company to blacklist him.
According to the Daily Beast, Mastercard reached out to the SPLC, who list Spencer as an “extremist” on their website, before they pressured Patreon into banning his account.
“We want PayPal, we want Mastercard, we want all of them to stop servicing hate groups,” declared SPLC spokesman Heidi Beirich, adding, however, that it was Color of Change who was the driving force behind Spencer’s blacklisting.
In a statement, Color of Change attempted to associate Spencer with white supremacists, declaring that they had pushed Mastercard to “take proactive steps to stop processing payments for white supremacist groups.”
In response to the Daily Beast article, which called Spencer “far-right” and featured the term “white supremacist(s)” three times despite the fact that Spencer is neither, Spencer accused the article’s author Will Sommer of doing a “victory dance” over his financial deplatforming.
“Virtually nothing in this Daily Beast celebratory piece over Patreon dropping me is accurate, starting with the opening claim that I found out about the ban when I logged into Patreon ‘to see how much money [I] had raised.’ In reality, I found out about the ban in an email from Patreon,” declared Spencer. “Remember: the Nazis operated in exactly this way, first barring those they hated from holding various professions and making it impossible for them to make a living. Sommer and his ilk are quintessential neo-fascists.”

Robert, they’re confusing you with Richard Spencer, because they don’t have the intelligence to differentiate

This could be stupidity and laziness–or it could be support of Jihad.

This is Van Jones. A racist and a commie. Naturally Obama hired him.

As rotten as Islam is, and Mo’s creed is quite rotten—to be sure a mortal enemy of freedom and equality under the law—yet even more of a menace to liberty and equality under the law is the Western Left.
Oh yeah, when Islam comes in second place in these two areas—the denial of liberty and legal equality— you know or should know just how fragile is that which the West has painfully constructed and built over the centuries and millennia—and which neither Islam nor Leftism has any regard for, in fact contempt for. Yes, such is their “signature.”
Western Leftism + Islam = The evisceration of the West. Count on it.
Don’t count on it and you are a fool at best or, at worst, complicit in the destruction of the West.

Yes–Islam would not be much of a threat to the West were it not for dhimmis here enabling it.

SPLC, ‘Color of Change’ played role smearing Robert Spencer as “white supremacist” for Mastercard blacklisting
……………….
Just appalling. How is one a “white supremacist” for opposing violent Jihad?
LytchZam says
Well, of course it’s not because of any position or opinion, it’s just because one is white. So, ipso facto, they’re a supremacist. How could any white person be anything but? It won’t matter your views, or even your acts. You are guilty in the minds of many.
The Left imagines that when the dust settles, it will be able to control Islamists – that they’ll see the light or be so greatful or equitable for the demise of the United States or the West or the Right and Israel and all the goals that both Red and Green seek.
I can’t find any example where a government controled by some form of sharia embraces the Left’s gods of feminism, homosexuality, or vulgar popular culture, let alone our common ideals of democracy and personal freedom,
Phil Copson says
“…. the Left’s gods of feminism, homosexuality, or vulgar popular culture….”
———————————————————————————————-
The Left’s “God” is to have total control over every aspect of society. Feminism, homosexual rights, workers’ rights etc are just so many sticks to beat “the Establishment” with.and will be discarded as “bourgeois constructs” as soon as they have served their turn.
Communist union leaders never cared that they were destroying the livelihood of their members, since they lived well on union subscriptions, and their real goal was bring down “the capitalist system” and any government that didn’t dance to their tune.
Similarly, the wrecks of Venezuela’s/Zimbabwe’s/South Africa’s economies doubtless brought tremendous satisfaction to their vicious, kleptomaniac leaders and such gawping, dim-witted admirers as Corbyn, Abbott, Trudeau etc –
As Shelley didn’t quite say: “My name is Ozymandias / Ozy-maduro / Ozy-mugabe etc – Look upon my works, ye peasantry – and despair!”
Neither communism nor the caliphate grants human rights.

This constitutes (IMHO—-no legal advice here) libel with demonstrable damages. I hope you’re talking to a lawyer.
