Southern Poverty Law Center: Will Smear for Cash
But what donors don’t know is that today, the SPLC smears good people, not just “haters.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali grew up Muslim in Somalia, but now she criticizes radical Islam and sometimes (maybe this is what really bothers the SPLC) fraternizes with American conservatives. The center put Hirsi Ali on its list.
The center also smears the Family Research Council. I sometimes disagree with the council. But they don’t belong on a “hate map.”
“When they don’t agree with you politically, they’re going to list you as a ‘hater,'” says council Executive Vice President Jerry Boykin in my new video.
Today, the SPLC even smears groups like Moms for Liberty and Moms for America, calling them anti-government extremists because they oppose sexually explicit content in schools, and seek school board seats to try to “stop … school districts [from] disregarding the opinions of parents.”
