<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), in its effort to attack members of the Right, has often labeled individuals that others would consider normal as hate-filled or “extremists.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, a Grand Jury in Alabama returned an <a href="https://justice.gov/opa/media/1437146/dl" data-once="doj-analytics">indictment</a> charging the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public,&#8221; said FBI Director Kash Patel. &#8220;They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups — even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The current <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/">SPLC list</a> of “extremists “and “ideologues” includes White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, the late David Horowitz, the founder of the Freedom Center, which featured the platforms FrontPage Magazine, Discover the Networks, and Students for Academic Freedom; Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association; Chaya Raichik, aka Libs of Tik Tok; James Lindsay, the author, mathematician, and cultural critic who has become a leading figure in the intellectual opposition to wokeness; the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh; former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy Frank Gaffney; and author and social scientist Charles Murray.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">SPLC’s “Hatewatch” blog has included former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson; author and leading intellectual Dennis Prager, the famed Evangelical minister Franklin Graham, among others.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Alliance Defending Freedom, which was <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/alliance-defending-freedom/">labeled</a> a “hate group” by the SPLC, has <a href="https://adflegal.org/setting-the-record-straight/#:~:text=Demonstrating%20the%20breadth%20and%20danger,The%20Future%20of%20Religious%20Liberty.%E2%80%9D">noted</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>SPLC’s “Hatewatch” blog is a perfect example. SPLC says this blog “monitors and exposes the activities of the American radical right” and the “activities and events of anti-LGBT organizations.” The so-called “radical right” and “anti-LGBT organizations” SPLC has identified include many beloved, respected, and mainstream conservative and religious organizations and individuals, such as Ben Carson, Heritage Foundation, Dennis Prager, PragerU, The Federalist Society, Franklin Graham, Catholic Medical Association, Alliance Defending Freedom, Heritage Action, Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Liberty Counsel, Pacific Justice Institute, The Leadership Institute, First Liberty Institute, Ruth Institute, European Center for Law and Justice, Alaska Family Council, Florida Family Policy Council, Texas Values, and Homeschool Legal Defense Association, to name just a few.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Demonstrating the breadth and danger of SPLC’s conception of “hate,” SPLC labelled the Boston chapter of The Federalist Society “anti-LGBT” because it hosted then-United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions for a talk on “The Future of Religious Liberty.”</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Months before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the SPLC added Turning Point USA to its Hate Map. One day before his murder, the SPLC smeared Kirk in an online Hatewatch article tagged under &#8220;Dismantling White Supremacy.&#8221; The article was still live days after his death.</em></p>
