DP Wow, I’ve just destroyed your entire closing assertion. I’m on this board. I believe that poster. |

You can holler, scream, and shout in protest; but you don't speak for me. |
I know it's off topic, but when did you decide he was scamming? When, exactly, did he take off the sheep's clothing? AFAIK there was nothing overtly illegal about Unite the Right holding a demonstration. If you want to say that any criminal acts that resulted in connection with the demonstration implicated the field agents criminally, you'd better be prepared to say that about anyone who used donor money to organize Jan 6. Let's start with TPUSA. (I do hope they find a SPLC field agent was involved in organizing that event too). |
It sounds creepy. However, it's weird how the government is able to endow stuff with an aura of credibility even when we know there are a lot of very bad people running it. It I were a complete anarchist/nihilist/angry person I scream bullshit every time I hear anything from this administration. Because I am not and don't want to be that sort of person, I often find myself swayed on some level. The "terrorist" who deliberately endangered and terrified DHS agents ramming them with her vehicle in Chicago, then fled the scene with her gun? Yeah, my first reaction was "oh shit" because I want people opposing the administration to be better than that. But months later comes the acquittal and the release of video showing what utter lies were being said. The protestor who went after agents on a Minneapolis street with his gun, intent on taking out as many as he could? Oh, that was an ICU nurse who was holding a phone and trying to protect someone being violently thrown to the ground (not even a "takedown" like you'd expect law enforcement to do). Letitia James scamming banks? Oh shit. But then it turns out that wasn't what was going on at all. This is a very weird needle they are trying to thread. On the one hand, they have to look like they are standing up for the George Soros-funded organizations of the world (the ones that pay all the protestors, of course)--while AT THE SAME TIME--making it a DOJ priority to hunt down and destroy anyone and anything that is discriminating against white people and Christians (preferably both white and Christian). They have to make a case that the "very fine people" among extreme right wing groups have been betrayed by those commie domestic terrorists in their bosom, while also filing to vacate the convictions of Elmer Rhodes (please, lets use his real first name) and a few other seditionists. And they'd better not make it possible for a future administration to go after TPUSA for their buses on Jan 6. |
| This is not a good look for the Trump administration. Even USA Today is calling them out on their BS double standards. |
Tax deductible donations have to be used for tax deductible purposes. SPLC may have put their donors on the hook for large tax bills. |
There is substantial evidence SPLC gave people in these groups. The indictment makes a good case for wire fraud. You dissemble talking about its so-called support of the FBI and making irrelevant points that the money didn't go directly to the groups. SPLC looks to have committed a string of crimes, and the rule of law crowd here is unsurprisingly quiet because they don't think the law should apply to Democrats. The SPLC is an anti-white group, and I hope its leadership goes to jail. |
Have thought he was a grifter since the early 90s. Still knew he was a better choice than Hillary, who is corrupt and evil; Biden, who was obviously senile when he talked about a "lying, dog-faced pony soldier;" or Kamala, who was a drunk DEI hire who can barely string sentences together. Make no mistake, I don't like Trump and am not surprised by his betrayal. Republicans ignored their voters for decades and allowed that grifter to take power. All Americans lose there, but let's not ignore the significant damage Democrats have done by destroying the rule of law over decades. You can go back to Watergate and see where Archibald Cox rigged the system to avoid giving Nixon, who was popularly elected, due process. If Dems actually want guys like Trump gone, they need to hold their own accountable. Because they haven't, Republicans are waking up and pursuing the same destructive villains, and we'll all be poorer for it. UTR's demonstration was perfectly legal. Charlottesville police deliberately forced a confrontation by routing those lawful protestors into the hands of Antifa ghouls, who were not subject to the rule of law. See also the violence against Trump supporters in 2016 California. January 6 was funded, in large part, by the FBI, which is why they buried all the information. The only lethal violence that day was committed by the federal government against a non-violent protestor. Again, if you want the rule of law, you need to be at least able to admit how evil and awful your side has become. You can't, so we're doomed to destroy everything. C'est la vie. |
You've revealed yourself. This is what it's really about. Not wire fraud, tax fraud, etc. All that stuff is just dressing to cover up the real reason: You just don't like them because you feel threatened by anti-white-supremacy. |

Morris Dees:
In 2019, the SPLC fired Dees for undisclosed reasons, and said the firm would hire an "outside organization" to investigate its workplace practices. Before the firing, two dozen employees had complained to management about concerns of "mistreatment, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism" which threatened SPLC's moral authority and integrity.[27] A former employee said that Dees had a "reputation for hitting on young women" and that his ouster came "amid a staff revolt over the mistreatment of non-white and female employees" by Dees and SPLC leadership.[28] Citations: 27.

The Reckoning of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-reckoning-of-morris-dees-and-the-southern-poverty-law-center How anyone can defend the org, I don’t know. It should be reorganized at the very least. |
Yep. They are going after an organization that fights against their mediocre white guy supremacy arguments, the people that put White Christian Nationalist Hegseth in charge of the military. Again, if any organization stands for the good and righteous in America, it’s the enemy of this administration . This is who they are. |
I stopped donating to the ACLU years ago, because it stopped being an organization fighting for free speech, which should be their core mission and is what I believe in. If the ACLU has done what SPLC is alleged to have done, they should be investigated. If SPLC indictment is correct (and admittedly that’s a big if given who brought it), I hope the prosecution is continued. I’ve also stopped SPLC donations pending the outcome of this litigation. |
Very well said. And I certainly don’t trust the grifting administration bringing the indictment. But I also don’t see any harm in pausing donations while this plays out, because I in no way want to support organizations that do what was alleged. |
