SPLC/TIME: "See How the Number of Hate Groups in the U.S. Has Changed Over Time"

http://time.com/3739966/hate-groups-splc/

Bar graphs galore!

someone should tell them that 17 years isn't a "quarter century."

Since the SPLC considers the Nation of Islam a hate group, I can't help but wonder if they themselves would qualify as an "Anti-Muslim" hate group under their definition.

So a group that is often mischaracterized as a leftist propaganda mill is lampooned (poorly) for demonstrating they actually call out hate groups of all creeds, ideologies, and colors.

Glad the Time bar graph doesn't show the breakdown of militias. Not a "hate group."

Yes, this is proven by the vast abundance of inter-racial, inter-denominational extremist militias that have no substantial ties to klan/nazi type groups.

For example, there's the.....um, well.....

The SPLC clearly has their own agenda, so it's laughable when the media frequently portrays them as some objective organization. They're not very different from the Anti-Defamation League.

Please. As one of the few posters here who actually reads their quarterly magazines (I'm a member), they slam and investigate everyone quite evenly. If there is a "bias" in their coverage of right wing extremism, it is because of the sad, but unquestionably quantifiable, fact that a vast majority of extremist anti-government and hate groups have far-right ideology. Outside Black Nationalist hate groups like the Nation of Islam and some ultra extreme environmental or animal rights fringe groups like Earth First! and the Animal Liberation Front, there isn't nearly as much violence or race-hate from the extreme left as the extreme right.
