The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is very influential in the current administration, almost single handedly responsible for defining "domestic terrorists" for the Department of Homeland Security and ratcheting up the racial rhetoric like never before in U.S. history, in the name of so-called "social justice."
In the latest diatribe to come out of the Montgomery Alabama based mini-ACLU, titled - Rage on the Right - The Year in Hate and Extremism - the group lays out their justification for striking fear in the hearts of every Tea Party, 912 and town hall activist, angry over the federal governments mishandling of their country.
The SPLC report opens with - "The radical right caught fire last year, as broad-based populist anger at political, demographic and economic changes in America ignited an explosion of new extremist groups and activism across the nation."
According to the report - "The anger seething across the American political landscape - over racial changes in the population, soaring public debt and the terrible economy, the bailouts of bankers and other elites, and an array of initiatives by the relatively liberal Obama Administration that are seen as "socialist" or even "fascist" - goes beyond the radical right. The "tea parties" and similar groups that have sprung up in recent months cannot fairly be considered extremist groups, but they are shot through with rich veins of radical ideas, conspiracy theories and racism."
At least they properly identified some of the causes for widespread frustration with the current administration - "soaring public debt and the terrible economy, the bailouts of bankers and other elites, and an array of initiatives by the relatively liberal Obama Administration that are seen as "socialist" or even "fascist" - and they are right, the anger goes way beyond the confines on the Tea Party, 912 and town hall movements, to include more than 61% of the nation who believe that the Unites States is in certain decline.
But they get it predictably wrong on their claim of "anger seething across the American political landscape - over racial changes in the population..."
The widespread anger isn't over "racial changes in the population," nor is the nation angry over what the SPLC refers to as "non-white immigration." The public anger started long before anyone ever heard of Barack Obama, but this group thinks it's all about Obama. Isn't everything all about Obama?
