SPLC Ostracizes Patriots…Again
It’s Spring and you know what that means. The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued its Spring Intelligence Report. The “Active ‘Patriot’ Groups in the United States in 2010” is always good entertainment. Since when is it bad to be considered a patriot? Along with the Spring publication, the SPLC has also issued a couple of other interesting pieces. One is “SPLC Report Examines Extremist Views of Lawmakers Attacking 14th Amendment” and the other is “The Legislators: The Dirty Dozen.”
In a letter to Mark Potok, I ask since when is being a patriot a bad thing? And, not that I am sad about being labeled a “Patriot Group”, but since when do a films, websites or a film company constitute a “Patriot Group?” Potok is an award-winning mainstream journalist, having worked for USA Today, the Dallas Times Herald and the Miami Herald. So…what happened to his journalistic integrity?
And now… the rest of the story. …..
