SPLC Unhinged: Almost Everyone Is a \u201cConspiracy Theorist\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\n

Quick, do something! There are John Birch Society types ready to spread \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d from the \u201cmargins\u201d into the \u201cmainstream,\u201d and they seem to be hiding under practically every bed in America! At least that’s the impression given in\u00a0a new \u201cintelligence report\u201d<\/a>\u00a0by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization whose slanderous vitriol against conservatives and Christians was recently implicated in federal court in a recent\u00a0terrorism<\/a>case. In its report the SPLC reputedly aims to expose false conspiracy theories that are being churned out by right-wing radicals. But, ironically, while expressing outrage over \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d on the \u201cright,\u201d the SPLC report sounded like an expanded version of Hillary Clinton’s bizarre conspiracy theory about a \u201cvast right-wing conspiracy<\/a>.\u201d To hear the SPLC tell it, practically everyone in America to the right of Obama is participating in a giant conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories. For what purpose is never explained, although apparently it is all very bad for \u201cdemocracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the SPLC clings to a mantle of respectability given to it for claiming to right wrongs, the mainstream American Family Association has labeled the SPLC an \u201canti-Christian hate group.<\/a>\u201d Meawhile civil rights attorney and Southern Center for Human Rights President Stephen Bright, echoing investigations and a federal judge, blasted SPLC founder Morris Dees as a “con man and fraud”\u00a0who exploits naive poor people to enrich himself. In keeping with critics’ accusations against the SPLC, the intelligence report reads like it’s based on either a fevered imagination or blatant deception, driven by hate against those with whom it disagrees. So far, though, the report has been largely ignored.<\/p>\n

The controversial outfit, sounding almost unhinged,\u00a0railed against parents concerned about the Obama-backed Common Core education scheme<\/a>, Americans\u00a0alarmed about Obama’s gun-control scheming<\/a>, alternative media, talk radio, cable television, politicians who give voice to the concerns of their constituents, and much more.<\/p>\n
