Morris Dees appears to be looking under his bed every night for more hate groups.


Dees seems to have found Stalin as his guidepost for finding 'hate groups' under every rock and tree, in every nook and cranny (watch out Thomas’s), with every friend and family member on his lists. It almost looks as if he can Google you for exercising your basic rights of speech and action, he can list you.
Morris Dees would have been a big help to HUAC. Actually he was a fixture before liberal Congressional Committees for years, naming names, finding new hate groups, exposing people who own guns, white people, Libertarians, Republicans, people who didn't contribute to SPLC.
You don't see him much any more since he was exposed for being a fraud, do you? He was once the perenial figure, like poision ivy, saving the who knows what from the what knows who.
But he is still out there fund raising for his biggest cause, Morris Dees. m/r


How I Became a Hate Group | FrontPage Magazine
By Daniel Greenfield On March 15, 2012

When I went to sleep last night, little did I know that while outside sirens competed with car alarms in the symphony that is New York City, I had already been declared a hate group.
Being declared a hate group wasn’t in my plans for the day, but like winning the lottery, it seems to be one of those things that happens when you least expect it. Except that as the little bald man in front of the bodega tells you, you have to play to win, but you don’t even have to buy a ticket to be declared an official hate group.
My first response on finding out that I was now a hate group was to look around to see where everyone else was. A hate group needs the “group” part, and one man and a cat don’t seem to be enough. Even when the cat is a well known bigot who hates mice, birds, car alarms that go off in the middle of the night, the plumber and sudden noises.
Still the Southern Poverty Law Center had listed, “Sultan Knish a blog by Daniel Greenfield” as one of their “Active Anti-Muslim Hate Groups,” alongside such other vast organizations as “Faith Freedom,” a website for ex-Muslims, and “Casa D’Ice Signs,” the signs on a bar located on K-Mart Plaza located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Someone with less faith in the fact checking abilities of the Southern Poverty Law Center might have thought that whoever had made up this list had no clue that “Casa D’Ice” was a lounge with signs outside, that there was no such group as “Casa D’Ice Signs” and that signs are pieces of plastic and not a hate group. But I had faith that the Center knew more than I did. Perhaps its crack team of researchers had learned that the signs had come alive and formed their own hate group, somehow arranging their own letters to form messages about illegal immigration and the need to get out of Iraq.
My first thought was to wonder whether some mistake had been made in my own case, but the Southern Poverty Law Center people are experts on hate groups, even if they don’t seem to know what the definitions of “hate” or “groups” or “hate groups” might be.
