		The Southern Poverty Law Center and Morris Dees have engaged in a dispute with Horowitz over material written by Chip Berlet related to Horowitz's campaign against slavery reparations, which the SPLC claims constitutes "hate speech".
		The Southern Poverty Law Center is also the principal group reporting on the "neo-confederate" movement, a movement to reconstruct the image and reputation of the Confederacy, but frequently used to vilify any public figure or organization which ascribes to any positive view of any aspect of the Confederacy.

	Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.
		The Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc. (SPLC) is an organization that seeks to improve civil rights for poor Americans and immigrants through legal action, the gathering of intelligence on hate groups, and education.
		The Southern Poverty Law Center was founded in 1971 by two white lawyers in Montgomery, Alabama, Morris Dees and Joseph J. Levin, Jr., who banded together to form an organization that would take up the plight of poor Southern fls in the legal arena.
		The SPLC found a witness who contradicted the testimony of the victim and other exculpatory evidence, and the men were ultimately given a much-reduced sentence and released.

	WINDS - Southern Poverty Law Center Attacks Christian Identity
		The Southern Poverty Law Center is again beating the war drum of racist agitation, evidently alarmed at the declining number of Patriot type groups included in its catalog of stigmatization.
		As the Southern Poverty Law Center profiteered on the Oklahoma City bombing and pumped the militia threat for all it could gain from it, a courageous member of that organization's leadership council protested to Morris Dees, SPLC director and founder, in a letter that is by now well known in Patriot circles.
		The Southern Poverty Law Center was founded by Morris Dees in 1971 with the stated purpose of seeking justice for poor Southerners, including victims of government abuse.

	The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) - Roger McCredie
		The Southern Poverty Law Center's very name conjures up visions of idealistic young lawyers operating out of a grimy storefront, cheerfully living in near-poverty themselves while tirelessly and fearlessly fighting to obtain justice for the marginalized and the downtrodden.
		The SPLC cultivates this image so skillfully that its contributors are often shocked to discover that it is not "Southern" (except as to location), practices precious little law these days, and has an association with "poverty" in name only.
		Moreover, considering that the Sons of Confederate Veterans is the biggest of the Southern heritage organizations and is comprised of the actual descendants of Confederate soldiers, ruining it financially would deliver the death blow to Southern culture once and for all.

	[No title]
		Founded in 1971 by a pair of Alabama lawyers, Morris Dees and Joe Levin, the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) quickly built a reputation as America's leading "civil rights law firm," suing Southern institutions resistant to desegregation, publicizing hate crimes, and using the media to denounce the perpetrators of those crimes.
		Noting that nearly 90 percent of K-12 teachers in the United States are white, while 36 percent of pupils "are students of color," one recent article cited this fact as evidence of "a legacy of racial domination and injustice" in the teacher-hiring process.
		After SPLC took in more than $44 million in revenues in 1999, The Nation magazine lambasted the Center for spending nearly $6 million on fundraising activities but only $2.4 million on litigation.

	The Church of Morris Dees [Free Republic]
		Today, the SPLC spends most of its time--and money--on a relentless fund-raising campaign, peddling memberships in the church of tolerance with all the zeal of a circuit rider passing the collection plate.
		The Ku Klux Klan, the SPLC's most lucrative nemesis, has shrunk from 4 million members in the 1920s to an estimated 2,000 today, as many as 10 percent of whom are thought to be FBI informants.
		The SPLC's "other important work justice" consists mainly in spying on private citizens who belong to "hate groups," sharing its files with law-enforcement agencies, and suing the most prominent of these groups for crimes committed independently by their members-a practice that, however seemingly justified, should give civil libertarians pause.

		Dees' organization should be called the Southern Impoverishment Law Center because he and his legal hucksters are playing perverted Robin Hood--stealing money from loyal, little-guy Americans who want to protect our borders and giving it to unworthy illegal immigrants who break the law and shouldn't be here.
		SPLC spent more than $12 million dollars in grants and "teaching tolerance" to law enforcement, schools, teachers, and students.
		Now, however, the SPLC is helping invaders and enemies of the United States, and it must be destroyed by whatever available legal and nonviolent methods are appropriate.

	A MESSAGE TO THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER
		Indeed, the political, moral, and social climate that spawns such an organization as the SPLC is the reason that the League came into existence in the first place.
		Therefore, it comes as no surprise to the League leadership that the SPLC would issue their recent condemnation of us as a “hate group.” Their charge is laced with the usual intolerance and disregard for reasoned opposition.
		The League of the South was founded to promote the devolution of power and the preservation of Southern culture, and we are not surprised that we have become a target for leftist totalitarians such as the SPLC who hate all resistance to centralized power and the preservation of all organic, traditional cultures.
