SPLC’s Reputation as Frauds & Conmen Grows
“[Dees is] the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement, though I don’t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye.” — Millard Farmer, former associate of SPLC founder Morris Dees.
For years now we at the Georgia Heritage Council have been publishing the ugly truth about The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and passing on the occasional informative journalism published by others. Our archives contain a number of articles illustrating SPLC’s track record of mercenary character assassination, disinformation, greed, distortions, and outright falsehoods. All the while SPLC encouraged, ignored or participated in intolerance against ‘approved’ targets. A few in the major media have noted the SPLC’s hypocrisy, greed and shady doings, but unfortunately the vast majority continue to devalue their own credibility by quoting the SPLC as if they were a legitimate authority and not the perpetrators of fraudulent smears, scaremongering and racketeering.
