Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘hate’ list suffers ‘monumental’ legal setback

[Oddball]

The well known den of hyper-leftist pond scum haters admits in open court that their "hate list" is nothing more than opinion.

IOW, they have absolutely no objective criteria to qualify who appears on their ignominious agitprop list of alleged "hate groups"....It's ALL political.....It's all projection.

The SPLC’s work used to be universally praised (by whom of any credibility I'll never know), but it has become more controversial as the organization has expanded its hate label beyond traditional violent racist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis to snare conservative Christian outfits and groups that advocate for stricter limits on immigration.


In its legal briefs in Mr. King’s case, the SPLC has acknowledged that its labels are less science and more a political argument.

“SPLC’s anti-immigrant hate group designation is not capable of being proved false, but is an opinion expressed as part of a political debate,” the organization argued.

SPLC is a hate group.

Yes as in anti-White hate! They're run by Jews!

Who are themselves white....The entire modern left is populated by misanthropic, self-loathing nihilists.

So basically a lawsuit that has a very steep hill to climb and an admission that the SPLC is a very well respected organization....

“Plaintiffs have ‘nudged’ their defamation claims — premised on SPLC’s designation of as an ‘anti-immigrant hate group’ — ‘across the line from conceivable to plausible,’” Judge Watkins wrote. Mr. King still has a high hill to climb.

Defamation cases are almost impossible to win, particularly for those deemed “public figures,” as Mr. King acknowledged he is for this case. To prevail, he must prove that the SPLC was wrong and showed “actual malice” in making the claims.

The SPLC is not respected. They've been exposed.

Southern Poverty Law Center is a scam, not an arbiter of justice

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate-based scam that nearly caused me to be murdered

After internal challenges with discrimination, the Southern Poverty Law Center can't call itself an arbiter of justice.

The cat that their slanderous "hate list" has no objective criteria is already out of the bag, in an open courtroom.

The damage is done to their undeserved reputation.

When the openly leftist Nation's Comic Book sells you down the river, you know your reputation is kaput.

Your evidence is an opinion piece?

Of course hate doesn't have an objective definition. It has a subjective one, some of which a large majority of people agree with.

The crackpot left is a tiny minority....Now y'all have even less credibility than before, were that even possible.

Sucks to be you.

You think your opinion means anything?

It doesn't though because your hurt feelings doesn't really change the respect people have for the SPLC.

They admitted malice when they confessed their labels are political, nothing more.
