Relevance: The SPLC was instrumental in getting Reddit to quarantine us by declaring men's rights groups in general and TRP in particular a "hate group."
The GOP passed a resolution refuting the SPLC's legitimacy in identifying hate groups. The SPLC fired back by characterizing the resolution as "Caving to hate groups."
This is a breaking story so more will come out over the next several days. While it's in the news cycles, it's a good opportunity for TRPers to propagate facts about the SPLC to people who bring it up thinking it's a legit benevolent watchdog organization.
RESOLUTION REFUTING THE LEGITIMACY OF THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TO IDENTIFY HATE GROUPS
WHEREAS, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a far-left organization with an obvious bias;
WHEREAS, The SPLC makes a practice of incorrectly labeling persons and organizations as “hate groups”;
WHEREAS, The actions of the SPLC have served to mobilize persons to act in hate and violence towards those on its “hate group” list;
WHEREAS, The Family Research Council suffered a violent attack due to its support of the traditional family, which the SPLC has deemed as hateful;
WHEREAS, The Obama Administration legitimized the SPLC and acted upon their request that the federal government formally identify individuals and organizations as “hate groups;”;
WHEREAS, The SPLC was further legitimized when the Obama-Biden Administration gave them the ability to provide input to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and
WHEREAS, Legitimizing the SPLC puts conservative groups or voices at risk of attack; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the SPLC is a radical organization, and that the federal government should not view this organization as a legitimate foundation equipped to provide actionable information to DHS or any other government agency.
