Occupy the Southern Poverty Law Center

In light of the May Day arrests of the Cuyahoga 5, the Occupy Wall Street–affiliated group of men who planned to blow up a bridge in Cleveland, Ohio, I called the Southern Poverty Law Center to find out of they had any plans to start tracking the Occupy movement. The first person I spoke to was so shocked by the question that she paused for a good 15 seconds before promising to put me in touch with a representative. This she eventually did, however, and after a game of cat-and-mouse — the person she’d found for me was busy “hosting an international conference on right-wing extremism,” natch — we managed to touch base and I to pose the question: “Do you have any plans to start tracking Occupy Wall Street after a hate group tried to blow up a bridge?”.....

That is not true.  They cover left wing hate groups.  They list the Nation of Islam.  However, that is the only one I know about.  Why don't they list some of the gay groups that have attacked people?

If the SPLC had their way, they'd list the Southern Baptist Convention as a hate group.

**** 'em.

They consider them to be right wing along with white power groups.
