The source for the premise of article, the Southern Poverty Law Center, is not an objective observer. They are a liberal activist group that labels all kinds of constitutionally protected speech as "hate crimes". The SPLC is a serial exaggerator. I don't believe a word they say.
And, if you do believe them, they also claim "the last time he saw such a similar rash of attacks was after Obama was elected". So I guess President-elect Obama was as responsible for a spike in hate "crimes" as President-elect Trump.
This is a horrible place for our country to be. Trump is not even attempting to address this. He is making it worse. Civil War is likely happening again.
I've said the same things about the Southern Poverty Law Center before Trump was running for anything. They are a liberal activist group masquerading as non-partisan. They label constitutionally protected speech hate crimes, with little regard for the First Amendment. They label many perfectly mainstream conservative organizations hate organizations even though they are not. They might have had a point in the past, but these days they are a bunch of partisan, liberal hacks with an agenda to attack conservative thought. The SPLC has cried wolf far too many times for me to believe them without outside verification.
Has anyone forgotten that cinyc is a bigot?
The SPLC are a great organization that helps do tons of great research and defense to help minorities of all kinds. To say things like this is to undermine all of the great work they do. Of course, I don't expect you to understand this, since I bet you think defending people targeted by racists is a bad thing. They've done so much good for the African-American, Latino, Jewish, and LGBT communities. The world would be a darker place without this organization
I am no bigot. Opposing the ultra-liberal agenda of the Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't make me a bigot, either. Like I said, they are hyper-partisan and have a history of exaggerating.
