	Morris Dees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dees' fame also attracted the involvement of his long-time opponents, including neo-nazi groups like the National Alliance that urged members participate in the election in order to vote against Dees, but there is no evidence that neo-nazis joined the Sierra Club in response.
		Dees and the SPLC were the subject of a 1994 investigative report by the Montgomery Advertiser which revealed deceptive fundraising practices and poor management at the Center.
		Some note that Dees has unfairly lumped a number of other movements in with white supremacy, including Second Amendment or gun rights activists, groups that are libertarian in political orientation such as the jury nullification movement, and groups that have their roots among the overpopulation, environmentalist, and population control movements, such as immigration reductionism.

	When a hate crime is something to love -Articles - THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE FOUNDATION
		Dees is a lawyer in Montgomery, Ala., who is the "national chairman" of something called the Southern Poverty Law Center, which sounds like the hide-out of a noble band of warriors against hate crime and other racial wrongs, but is actually a fund-raising scheme that could teach televangelists a thing or two.
		Dees, like the late I.F. Stone or the living Jesse Jackson, became a pet rock of the media, engaged in a calling so noble that it is regarded as tasteless, or at least suicidal, to notice that he runs around naked....
		Dees, according to an investigation by the Montgomery Advertiser, pulled in $9 million from fund-raising solicitation letters that featured a particularly gruesome photograph of the grieving mother's son.

	The Church of Morris Dees [Free Republic]
		Elsewhere, Dees and his copywriters, deploying an arsenal of passive verbs and vague abstractions, have sanitized the usually divisive issue of race of its more disturbing elements-such as angry fl people-and for good reason: most SPLC donors are white.
		Dees bought a 200-acre estate appointed with tennis courts, a pool, and stables, and, in 1971, founded the SPLC, where his compensation has risen in proportion to fund-raising revenues, from nothing in the early seventies to $273,000 last year.
		Dees is dangerous, no doubt about it...but right now he is just playing the rough equivilent of a civil rights TV Evangelist: he takes in money (via scare tactics and guilt trips) that mostly just goes into his pockets instead of the more active left-wing groups.

	CNN.com - Attorney Morris Dees pioneer in using 'damage litigation' to fight hate groups - September 7, 2000
		WASHINGTON (CNN) - Civil rights lawyer Morris Dees hopes a $6.3 million judgment against the Aryan Nations is the beginning of the end for the white supremacist sect.
		"Dees and the SPLC lawyers are the leading lawyers in the country in fighting hate crimes through damage litigation," said Arthur Bryant, executive director of Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, a public interest law firm that gave Dees an award for fighting hate crimes.
		Dees and SPLC fellow Ellen Bowden outlined the strategy in the February 1995 issue of Trial magazine: "Although the leaders of hate groups often have assets in their possession, the damages we seek in these cases would bankrupt the groups 10 times over," they wrote.

		Dees has sued the Klan, made a name for himself, and raised millions – but he is riding for a fall.

		In 2001, Dees was the recipient of the National Education Association’s highest honor, the Friend of Education Award.
		Of course, Morris Dees would have to go back to peddling cookbooks if so many white Americans were not terrified by the mere suggestion they might be “racist.” Alone among Western countries, America has yet to surrender fully to the demand for speech codes and “hate” legislation.
