I vote Negative. Most definately a left wing hate group.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

hate of who? Neo-Nazis?

Definately positive.

[Alcon]

They've done some good work, but also some bad work.  They are certainly much better than most everyone on their hate groups list.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Neutral.  They bring some good things to light, but often let left-wing politics get in the way of a true human rights agenda.

I know why States thinks so, but why do you do?

What type of bad work? By bankrupting KKK activists?

...I'd just like to know.  Why not?  There may be something I haven't considered before.

Their fundraising tactics have been rather, well, unethical in the past.  Sometimes I think their politics bleed into their agenda too much.

They also condemn Libertarians and members of the Constitution party as "far right wingers with a dangerous agenda". Just for the record.

From what I know of them, Negative.  Too apt to stifle free speech, however detestable, and looking for discrimination under the doormat.

I looked it up.  They called the Constitution Party "far right," indeed, but they haven't mentioned the Libertarian Party more than once, and that was in an entirely neutral context.

I know you support left wing hate. We already are aware of your freedom hating stances.

As I said, they never have negatively mentioned the Libertarian Party.  The only result on their site for "Libertarian Party" is a passing, neutral reference to a Libertarian candidate.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Overall positive; they've done and do some good work. They do go too far at times and do sometimes let politics cloud their judgement. I have a better opinion of them than most legal groups; not that that's even *close* to being hard but...
Their hategroups map is pretty cool anyway.

[opebo]

Very positive, of course!

[dazzleman]

Very negative.  I don't like this group at all.

Though terribly inaccurate.

You're refering to the inclusion of certain Neo-Confederate groups, right?
Look on the bright side; black seperatists are included as well

Well, I don't necessarily agree with those groups as I don't believe in modern seperation from the government. But I hardly believe it's fair to label them as "hate groups" just because the SPLC disagrees with their point of view. They also have a bad tendency of attacking/investigating right/conservative thinking people, esp. Pat Buchanan.

[WalterMitty]

theyve done some good things.

but theyve also ummm...exaggerrated...some things.
