Who is the SPLC?
From iGeek
They basically manage a hate-list for the far left and their media:
- They were created by far lefties (Morris Dees and Joe Levin) to attack people who don’t follow their political agenda.
- Their writings were immediately favored by the Communist Party USA's newspaper (People's World), because it aligned with Social Marxism.
- They basically have two modes: (1) ignore or defend the left (defended violent marxists as “flawed freedom fighters”),[1] (2) attack and vilify the right (they list many non-violent conservative organizations as hate-groups if they are Christian, anti-Gay-Marriage, anti-Abortion, anti-creepy guys in women’s showers/restrooms). [2]
- They have virtually no objective standards for vetting, quality control:
- soft right organizations like Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, Coral Ridge Ministries, these are grouped in with the KKK, White Aryan Resistance, the White Patriot Party militia
- many things are debunked and stay on their list
- anyone that sincerely looks at the quality of their lists or questions them, is often added/attacked as well (by them or their proxies)
- According to their own standards, they should be listed as a hate group
- A domestic terrorist (Floyd Lee Corkins) even used their mislabelling of the FRC (Family Research Council) as justification to go in and shoot up the place.

- Imagine a right-wing group that went around and:
- “monitored” anyone that didn’t pass their conservative litmus tests
- then labeled them as “hate groups”
- then tried to delegitimize them or get them fired from their jobs
- and some of their followers went and committed acts of violence in their name.
- then they exclude organizations like Black Lives Matters from being a hate group, despite far more acts of violence than happened in right wing organizations they list.
Their "hate map" was a tool not to stop hate, but promote it: just against the other side. [3]

- Washington Post started championing a Democrat invented story that “Fake News” was being invented by Russian spies, and to support that they used a list called PropOrNot (Propaganda or not), from a shady organization. WaPo wasn’t added to SPLC’s list. The left wing earns special immunity from SPLC.
