As I said if you wish to defend hate groups its your choice.
SPLC Statement on Dr. Ben Carson
It looks like the SPLC has appointed itself thought police. In fact, they are more hateful than the groups they smear. These group is really dangerous. They may have been useful going after KKK but now they are just as bad, if not worse. This was a lame attempt at back pedalling:
"We’ve also come to the conclusion that the question of whether a better-researched
profile of Dr. Carson should or should not be included in our “Extremist Files” is
taking attention from the fact that** Dr. Carson has, in fact, made a number of
statements that express views that we believe most people would conclude are
extreme. They are described below.**
We laud Dr. Carson for his many contributions to medicine and his philanthropic
work, and we, like so many others, are inspired by his personal story.
Nevertheless,
particularly because Dr. Carson is such a prominent person, we believe that his
views should be closely examined.
“Marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established pillar of society
and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA [North American Man/Boy
Association, a group advocating pedophilia], be they people who believe in
bestiality—it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition.”
—Interview on Fox News’ “Hannity,” March 26, 2013
“I mean, [our government and institutions] are very much like Nazi Germany.
… You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population.
We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they really believe.”

wo years ago the Southern Poverty Law Center named me, a bar sign and a brand of gun lubricant as hate groups. It wasn’t the punch line to a joke about a Minister, a Rabbi and a Priest. Instead it was another tribute to the research skills of the country’s wealthiest, dumbest and laziest civil rights group.
Morris Dees began in the mail order business and ended up in the mail order civil rights business. E
very month elderly retirees receive envelopes covered with pictures of Klansmen burning crosses…Their checks bulk up the Southern Poverty Law Center’s $245 million endowment, a few pennies from which are used to hire DailyKos diarists who turn out **poorly researched attacks on “hate groups.” **.Left-wing cultural revolutionists have a loose definition of “hate,” but they can usually get the “groups” part right. The Southern Poverty Law Center can’t even do that…There are random attacks on celebrities like former Homicide star Richard Belzer and former Saturday Night Live star Victoria Jackson. Belzer is deemed guilty of promoting JFK conspiracy theories and Jackson called the TV show Glee “sickening.”
It’s not exactly the KKK, and Belzer, who is Jewish, was unhappy to be implicitly associated him with the Nazis. “As a Jewish person whose grandfather represented Israel at the United Nations before it was a state and an uncle, who as a member of the Resistance, fought the Nazis in World War Two, I am deeply hurt and offended,” he wrote.
But Belzer was not the only Jewish person targeted by the SPLC in an issue exploiting the Kansas City shootings around a Jewish community center.
Instead the SPLC decided to launch into a full-throated defense of Hamas supporters and attacks on Jews opposed to Hamas and its domestic front groups…
