Crying Wolf - 3

Baltimore Conservative Examiner Al Ritter in his Aug. 22 blog on examiner.com documents how the Southern Poverty Law Center is, once again, crying wolf to somehow become relevant again. The wolf at the door? Militias, of course.

"Our dear friends of the Southern Poverty Law Center recently concluded another completely bias research and fact finding report on the rise of 'Un-American Right Wing Extremist Militia Groups;' and reported that they are growing in alarming numbers," Ritter writes. "This is the same group that was a major driving force behind the creation and eventual signing of the Brady Bill into law. The Southern poverty law center was very proud of this accomplishment but even they were disappointed with the final draft of the bill. It was too soft and it allowed everyday average law abiding citizens to continue to own handguns and various types of semi-automatic weapons."

SPL needs to be disbanded. They do nothing but stereotype. They are one of the most hypocritical organizations out there. They preach equality and justice yet want to take away the rights of honest Americans.

They point fingers at White organizations but fail to notice Voter intimidation by the Black panthers, and growing islamic organizations within the us lik hezbullah, alqaeda and other groups under the guise of muslim brotherhood.

They should be held just as accountable as the forementioned groups for the rise and actions of these groups.

Bo, I feel compelled to answer your rhetorical question--Oh, YES THEY WOULD! And I certainly wouldn't rely on the "unbiased" research of this outfit.

Funny how these people only like communities that organize when it is their brand of organizing. Anyone else becomes a sinister, subversive anti-American group that needs to be banned and watched. Maybe they need to get these peoples' kids to spy on their parent and report back to the government what kind of subversive ideas they are promulgating. Oh, wait, that was already tried in NAZI Germany, the USSR, and Communist China. They wouldn't do that here, in the US of A, now would they?
