FBI Director Kash Patel has just put an end to one of the left’s biggest grifts: the idea that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), one of the left’s foremost mechanisms for destroying those whom it fears and hates the most, was an impartial arbiter of what constitutes unacceptable “hate” that must be opposed and shunned wherever it appears. The Daily Signal reported Friday that Patel said, “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine. The SPLC, while targeting individuals and groups it smears as “hate groups” and their leaders, is the real hate group. For years, the left-wing interest group has used its ‘hate group’ list to promote the fiction that violent neo-Nazis and Christian nonprofits peacefully promoting orthodox beliefs about marriage and sex are indistinguishable.
