The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate-based scam that nearly got me murdered

Jessica Prol Smith – USA Today Aug 17, 2019
I’ll never forget the moment I learned we were on lockdown. It was Aug.15, 2012. My frustration mingled with fear. Trapped on the sixth floor, we knew someone had been shot. We knew we couldn’t leave yet. We knew little else.
While I was missing lunch, a crime scene played out in the office lobby below me. My coworker and friend Leo wasn’t armed, but he’d played the quick-thinking and inadvertent hero, disarming a young man on a mission to kill me and as many of my colleagues as possible. The gunman had packed his backpack with ammo and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches — later admitting that he’d planned to smear them on our lifeless faces as a political statement. Leo took a bullet in the arm but managed to disarm and hold the attacker until law enforcement arrived.
I wrote and edited for the Family Research Council, a public advocacy organization that promoted the principles I’d cared about since childhood: protecting the family, promoting the dignity of every human life and advocating for religious liberty. It reads like a tagline, but it’s also just what I believed and the way I chose to match my career with my convictions.
I never expected that everyone would celebrate or share my beliefs. But I did expect to be able to discuss and debate these differences without becoming a political target in an act of terrorism, the first conviction under Washington, D.C.’s 2002 Anti-Terrorism Act.
The Southern Poverty Law Center labeled us a “hate group”
It was the type of violent incident that one could expect a group that purportedly monitors “hate,” like the Southern Poverty Law Center, to notice, research, and decry. In fact, we were on the center’s radar but for all the wrong reasons. The assailant acknowledged later in FBI testimony that he had selected our office precisely because the SPLC had labeled my employer a “hate group.”
It’s always been easier to smear people rather than wrestle with their ideas. It’s a bully who calls names and spreads lies rather than thoroughly reading a brief’s legal arguments or challenging the rationale underlying a policy proposal. The SPLC has chosen to take the easy path — to intimidate and mislead for raw political power and financial benefit.
For years, former employees revealed, local journalists reported and commentators have lamented: the Southern Poverty Law Center is not what it claims to be. Not a pure-hearted, clear-headed legal advocate for the vulnerable, but rather an obscenely wealthy marketing scheme. For years, the left-wing interest group has used its “hate group” list to promote the fiction that violent Neo-Nazis and Christian nonprofits peacefully promoting orthodox beliefs about marriage and sex are indistinguishable. Sometimes, it’s apologized to public figures; it’s smeared and recently paid out millions to settle a threatened defamation lawsuit.
Poster Comment:
Morris Dees and the SPLC should be on the domestic terrorist list.

In other words, what SPLC falsely accused the Metzgers of and prosecuted them for, they genuinely perpetrate against Christian activists.

When we worked for State of Illinois, we would go into Bagel Nosh restaurant for breakfast. We would get corned beef hash with poached egg on top and a bagel along with it.
One of the big dishes for the Joos that would come in was a bagel with Lox and cream cheese.
I sure miss those days. :-/

I looked him up. He is now 81 years old and one of the original skinheads.
When we worked skinhead shows, we had a saying, "Grab them by the short hairs." ROTFLMAO!

I love a cinnamon raisin bagel -- used to get good ones in NYC. Gives you the false but delightful feeling of eating healthy because those ingredients turn the bread brown :-3 Here in SC I go to Eggs Up Grill for 6AM breakfasts starting with oatmeal crammed with fresh berries, granola and brown sugar, then eggs, big wad of corned beef hash, delicious home fries and toast -- all made from scratch right there (except the bread).
I see a wonderful place I used to enjoy has flown the coop

America feels great affinity with this hellhole because it dumped slaves there 300 years ago???
The deadly serious, clearly empathetic narration is the icing on the shyte cake....
