Hi Bearchewtoy!
The Southern Poverty Law Center was established in 1967, by criminal and civil rights attorney, Morris Dees. He specialized in prosecuting members of the KKK, and other supremacist organizations all over the country. Very often he was able to weaken them by litigating for their assets.
Which, for some of their members, their property holdings could run in the millions.
He has been shot, his offices bombed and his family threatened, but he has continued to be an advocate against hate everywhere.
He is a white man who grew up in the Jim Crow south. So you could say his perspective is from experience.

This sounds like good news, but it’s not enough; not nearly enough.

The christian and/or religious anti-gay industry, whether American or not, is a blatant crime against humanity, and the ICC is alive and well at The Hague.

Also, I think religious nutters like Uganda’s Martin Ssempa could use some therapy…yesterday!

PLaB/AFTAH just tore into Dr. Throckmorton again via LifeSiteNews.

Can you do something to stop these groups exporting their hatred to the rest of the world please? It really doesn’t help the international reputation of the USA, and causes things like the situation in Uganda.

Well, ole’ PP hasn’t reacted yet, at least on his website, but I think we can expect breathtakingly hyperbolic prose condemning yet another attack on “the truth”, free speech, and religious freedom; all of which is motivated by the SPLC’s clear support of the mythic Gay Agenda™, that product of Godless liberals, from which extend the pernicious and evil tentacles that reach into every aspect of Progressive Culture to sow the seeds of destruction of all humanity.

Back in June 2009, the Peter called the SPLC “bigoted” for designating MassResistence and Illinois Family Institute (since removed from the list) as hate groups.

The SPLC has embarrassed itself by politicizing “hate” in the service of pro-homosexual politics. Perhaps if it stopped demonizing Christian and pro-family groups like IFI and MassResistance based on their moral opposition to homosexual practice, we would take its assessment of who the real haters are more seriously.

I truly think that there is nothing that an anti-gay activist fears more than being called a hater or a bigot.

Their identity is tied up in “showing the love of Christ”, so their boiling seething animus has to be called something other than “hate”. Because if they admit to themselves that they hate, then they can’t call themselves “Christian”. And if they aren’t Christian, then they have no reason to tell themselves that they are superior to gay folk and nothing to justify the ignoble way they treat gay folk. And round it goes.

It’s a bizarre contradiction. In order to behave heinously, they have to tell themselves that their hatred is actually love. Sad sad deluded folks, they are.
