Many people speculated (from other websites when this was announced) this "new position of domestic terrorism counsel being created" by this administration (more government) was because of the SPLC. Well here they confirm it. they are taking some law center words and OPONIONS to open another government program to be USED against "we the people" AND you voted for all this? just freaking amazing and damn scary all rolled into one. YOU have become an enemy of this Government according to SPLC and this Obama administration just for YOUR BELIEFS.
what country are we living in people?

(CNSNews.com) – John Carlin, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) assistant attorney general for National Security, announced on Wednesday that the DOJ is creating a new position of domestic terrorism counsel to combat the “real and present threat” of domestic extremism. Carlin praised groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) “that dedicate themselves to examining what the threat is, observing it, and reporting on it,” adding that the work of the SPLC was “very important.”

"Homegrown violent extremists can be motivated by any viewpoint on the full spectrum of hate — anti-government views, racism, bigotry, anarchy and other despicable beliefs," (get that this Carlin calls all those listed as: Despicable beliefs)Carlin said in his speech at George Washington University in a discussion co-hosted by the SPLC. "When it comes to hate and intolerance, no single ideology governs."

Carlin was asked about the value of the SPLC’s work in helping the DOJ deal with the threat of domestic terrorist extremism.

“I can say based on our briefings that, as I said in my opening remarks, we very much think that the domestic terrorism threat is a real and present threat that demands to be addressed in new, creative ways,” he said, emphasizing that “Southern Poverty Law Center and other groups in this space are very important.”

The SPLC’s website features a “hate map” that lists the Christian and conservative Family Research Council (FRC) as a “hate group” because of its defense of traditional marriage.

The SPLC’s “hate map” was cited by convicted domestic terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins in his decision to attack the FRC in 2012 when he shot and wounded a security guard before being subdued.

“We recognize that, over the past few years, more people have died in this country in attacks by domestic extremists than in attacks associated with international terrorist groups,” Carlin said in his remarks.

SPLC’s Intelligence Project Director, Heidi Beirich, participated with Carlin in GW’s discussion of domestic terrorism.

CNSNews.com asked Beirich about their designation of the Family Research Council as a hate group.

“I think there’s a common misunderstanding about the way you get on our Hate List. We post groups on the basis of ideology, not whether they’re violent or not,” she replied.

“Of course, some of the groups are particularly violent, the Skinheads, Neo-Nazis, and what not,” she continued. “Others are simply pushing propaganda that we consider hateful. For example, there’s an organization called American Renaissance, it puts out reams and reams of information about why black people are inferior. It lies, basically, so black people are dumber, they’re psychopathic, they’re more violent.”

“In the same way groups like the Family Research Council and the American Family Association do that but what they’re putting out is anti-gay material, so gay people are pedophiles, or molesters, or whatever the case may be, and that’s why they’re on the list and that’s the direct analogy,” she said.(this is a disgusting LIE they do no such thing. )

“Look, our list is, we’re a nonprofit, we put out a list every year, we have relationships with people in federal law enforcement but we’re a completely separate entity and we put our material out to the entire public, right?” Beirich replied when CNSNews.com asked how these listings might affect SPLC aiding in domestic terrorism investigations.





“So it’s there to be seen,” she said. “So it’s not like we’re somehow, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s controlling domestic terrorism investigations. It’s clearly not the case. It’s public information, it’s our opinion that it’s hateful, and that’s basically it.”

Ben Carson placed on Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘Extremist Watch List’



By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Sunday, February 8, 2015


The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a nonprofit legal advocacy group, has placed potential 2016 presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson on its “Extremist Watch List” for his views against same-sex marriage.

The group cites comments from Dr. Carson’s book in labeling him a potential extremist. The group singled out this line from his book, “America the Beautiful”: “f we can redefine marriage as between two men or two women or any other way based on social pressures as opposed to between a man and a woman, we will continue to redefine it in any way that we wish, which is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending, as witnessed in the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire.”

The SPLC also takes issue with a statement Dr. Carson made in March 2013 on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
