As so-called<br> hate-watch groups and organizations spring up all across the country, they<br> are venerated for their courage and unwavering defense of minority classes.<br> They are touted as the great overseers of the civil rights granted to<br> minorities by government.<br> <br> For persons and organizations that wish to become powerful and recognizable<br> to mainstream America, hate-watching is a clever way to earn a secure<br> living. They can do so under the false flag of protecting minority identity<br> and opportunity, though crying hate has become the call to arms for the<br> protected classes against traditional culture.<br> <br> Who are the true intolerants? Are they fervent Christians? Or is it the<br> so-called watchdog groups that profit from the anger and backlash of<br> protected classes who are themselves strangled by government policies?<br> <br> The most notable of such prevaricators is the not-so-impecunious Southern<br> Poverty Law Center, headed by lawyer Morris Dees. Mr. Dees is a leftist icon<br> of sorts. He manages to reap gorgeous profits from his not-for- profit<br> business through website terrorism and hyper-emotional junk-mail campaigns.<br> <br> The SPLC is the lead aggressor against right-wing organizations that are<br> ideologically unappealing to Mr. Dees and his fellow intolerants. What SPLC<br> does is use its government-approved coercive powers to ruin businesses<span class=GramE>,</span><br> smear reputations, and try to force people to participate in their farcical<br> diversity movement through &quot;monitoring,&quot; while exposing alleged fascists,<br> white-<span class=SpellE>supremicists</span>, and even (gasp!) pro-Confederates.<br> <br> These accusations are gathered in the SPLC's Intelligence Report, a<br> scuttlebutt rag that generates severe intolerance against any ideological<br> group that doesn't agree with its <span class=SpellE>pinko</span> views. One of the latest hits from<br> the Intelligence Report has been directed toward the Ludwig von <span class=SpellE>Mises</span><br> Institute of Auburn, Alabama, an educational organization dedicated to<br> Austrian economics and classical liberalism. Such dedicated passions toward<br> education and the advancement of intellectual spirit apparently are not<br> sanctioned by the SPLC's intolerant bunch.<br> <br> Another organization that has come under fire is the League of the South, an<br> organization inspired by the political theory of self-government, especially<br> with regard to local rule. As if smearing the <span class=SpellE>Mises</span> Institute and the League<br> of the South weren't enough, the SPLC attempts to link the two, in effect<span class=GramE>,</span><br> implying that any educational institution in the South with libertarian-like<br> views must be composed of Confederate sympathizers, and therefore, is racist<br> and hate-filled.<br> <br> <span class=SpellE>Victimology</span> is an art at SPLC. The past deeds of Morris Dees sensationalize<br> race relations and patriotic uprisings, while encouraging deep fear in<br> individuals who see themselves as victims of an unfair political system.<br> Without producing this fear and <span class=SpellE>victimological</span> thinking, the center could<br> not possibly raise the huge funds necessary for such a tireless spy machine.<br> <br> The SPLC is exactly such a contrivance, in fact. It is also a newspeak<br> machine that does not use logical reasoning or philosophical arguments to<br> make its case, but rather, emotional attacks that bait the weak-minded, and<br> seduce those looking for monetary &quot;justice.&quot;<br> <br> Organizations like the SPLC are empowered by government agencies in the<br> civil rights sector, and they are supported by a leftist media that allows<br> them unchallenged on-air exposures of purported right-wing intolerance<br> groups.<br> <br> HBO recently ran a cable special entitled Hate.com: Extremists, which<br> focused on Internet groups that don't fall within the tolerance guidelines<br> set forth by hate-watchers. Of course, Mr. Dees and his Intelligence Report<br> editor Mark <span class=SpellE>Potok</span> took center stage in this documentary, pointing out how<br> extremist, right-wing America, with the famed Turner Diaries as its bible<span class=GramE>,</span><br> advances the cause of white people and terrorizes oppressed minorities.<br> <br> The SPLC seems to take special pride in the fact that it can use tolerance<br> education as the carrot, and draw upon its Northern liberal junk-mail base<br> for its attack on all the evils of &quot;extremist&quot; America. It's interesting how<br> the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) gets<br> flagged for hate, while the NAACP is a perfectly legit organization.<br> <br> Throughout the HBO piece, Messrs. <span class=SpellE>Potok</span> and Dees appear against an<br> impressive backdrop of stately bookshelves in fancy offices. However, when a<br> self-styled racist appears on screen, his backdrop is the SPLC's favorite<br> target: the Confederate flag. This is a purposeful attempt, of course, to<br> smear the symbol of the noble causes of Southern secession and personal<br> liberty.<br> <br> The HBO documentary treats religious-based organizations in such a way as to<br> propagate the notion that all hardcore religious activism is &quot;Aryan&quot; in<br> temperament, excessive, and therefore dangerous to non-whites.<br> <br> It is interesting to note how the SPLC also includes patriot groups in the<br> Intelligence Report. This is due to the fact that such groups &quot;advocate or<br> adhere to extreme anti-government doctrines,&quot; and this undermines the State<br> worship that makes people like Mr. Dees opulent by way of the<br> multicultural-tolerance issue. One must remember that it was the Oklahoma<br> bombing that put the SPLC propaganda machine on the map.<br> <br> In fact, SPLC must have licked its chops after Oklahoma City, as they<br> stormed into Michigan - a state known for citizen militias - and set up camp<br> for the enduring attack on patriotic movements. Mr. Dees was as familiar to<br> many Americans during this ordeal as was Dan Rather. One can almost say that<br> Dees was to Oklahoma City what Wolf Blitzer was to the Persian Gulf.<br> <br> Now the SPLC takes it on the road, as Dees travels about the country<br> preaching his brand of liberality. He often speaks before college audiences<span class=GramE>,</span><br> where supple minds are ripe for feel-good altruism.<br> <br> This man works to gain the trust of young people by displaying the evils of<br> admitted racist organizations that have a tiny number of adherents. Mr. Dees<br> then proceeds to propagate the notion that conservative organizations --<br> particularly those that are pro-gun or anti-government - pose the same<br> dangers, and thus, must be impeded.<br> <br> The seeds of multiculturalism are planted in all forms of the media, and the<br> harvest of fear and anger is in full growth. Accordingly, the nobility of<br> the cause of liberty is buried beneath the scare tactics that associate<br> virtuous symbols and causes with loathing and intolerance. For that reason<span class=GramE>,</span><br> the professional hate-watchers are the profiteers of divisiveness.<br> <br> <br style='mso-special-character:line-break'> <![if !supportLineBreakNewLine]><br style='mso-special-character:line-break'> <![endif]></span></p> </body> </html>
