Today, the SPLC is best known for tracking hate groups, which the organization defines as having "beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristic." Currently, the SPLC says 917 hate groups are operating in the United States.

SPLC's "hate map" gained prominence in the media after last month's deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. However, critics say the organization has falsely slapped the "hate group" label on non-violent groups who hold traditional beliefs about hot-button issues such as gay marriage and abortion.

Last month, a prominent evangelical ministry based in Florida filed a federal lawsuit accusing the SPLC of defamation after it was labeled an "active hate group." In July, Fox News found that at least seven organizations are listed as hate groups by the SPLC despite explicitly prohibiting violence by their members.

Nothing fuzzy here people - it's called diversification.

No need to concede any facts here; even if they are in fact true. La la la la la la . . .

Exactly. Don't refute the accusations (they can't) but attack the source, and call those who expose such things.... racists. Shocker, right?

Typical, tired, liberal tactics.

SPLC isn't doing anything illegal with its finances and isn't doing anything that many other non-profits aren't also doing.

The question then is why are you singling SPLC out for this sudden odd scrutiny and feigned outrage?

BOOM. Pssst....they aren't reallllllly non-profits. Hahahahaha. Dummy.

Then apparently Family Research Council, Heritage Foundation, CATO, Heartland Institute and every other right wing are also not "non-profit."
Okay.

Question still remains, "so what's your point?"

I'm sorry are any of those "non-profits" called Southern Poverty Law Center and keeping their cash in off-shore accounts when people probably could use the money?

If a U.S. Non-profit is receiving tax preferential treatment, let's bring "non-profit" accounts back to the U.S. I thought certain states were better tax havens now anyway unless something nefarious is going on. Things could have changed since I last researched this. If so, there are definitely better places than Caymans. Lol.

Note

"Dees's legal actions against racial nationalist groups have made him a target of many of these organizations. He has received numerous death threats from some of these groups.[22] In 2007 Dees said that over 30 people had been jailed in connection with plots to either kill Dees or blow up the center.[23] A July 29, 2007, letter allegedly came from Hal Turner, a radio talk show host, paid FBI informant and white supremacist, after the SPLC filed a lawsuit against the Imperial Klans of America (IKA) in Meade County, Kentucky.[23] During the IKA trial a former member of the IKA said that the Klan head told him to kill Dees.[24] Morris Dees and William F. McMurry represented the plaintiff in the trial against the IKA in November 2008.[25"

Why? Because it doesn't espouse leftist views? Do better.
