Smears for Money

The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause "fear and pain (in) Black, brown, and LGBTQ communities." The SPLC lists such groups on its "hate map." I once believed the center. Well-meaning people ...
