SPLC intel report casts wide net for ‘extremists’

Even tax protesters are classified as 'radical right', possibly 'coalescing' with hate groups, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Obviously leftwing groups like the SPLC have a paranoid approach to Main Street. All the tea party protests were non-violent except for the occasion when a leftwing union activist allegedly physically injured a tea party participant.A politically-skewed activist organization has warned law enforcement officials nationwide of the threat posed by the so-called “Patriot movement.” The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)'s Fall, 2009, issue of the “Intelligence Report” expands those designated as extremists, with alarmist language artificially combining a disparate group. The report said, “Militiamen, white supremacists, anti-Semites, nativists, tax protesters and a range of other activists of the radical right are cross-pollinating and may even be coalescing.” On the SPLC website, one report claims, "anti-government rhetoric spills into the Mainstream," listing conservative celebrities like Sean Hannity and Red State's Erick Erickson as purveyors of "white-hot antigovernment rhetoric." Where did SPLC get the data for that assumption? None other than the leftwingers at Media Matters, where bloggers dismiss every major study on media bias and claim the media favors the right.
