That's 25% right off the top.<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow"> http://wp.me/pCLYZ-ce</a><br /><br />For North and South Carolina, 33% of their alleged "hate groups" are phantoms, 29% for Virginia and over 50% for West Virginia, (one "group" in flyspeck Hillsboro, WV gets counted 3 times, just to pad the numbers). <br /><br />In several states the numbers reach an incredible (literally...) 100% of the total!<br /><br />If the SPLC's "hate group" numbers are entirely fabricated and seriously out of whack, why would anyone give credence to their "patriot" numbers?<br /><br />Here's a classic example, last year Mark Potok added 20 chapters of something he calls "the Georgia Militia" to that state's hate map, but Mr. Potok can't seem to locate 18 of them.<br /><br />Really. You cannot make this stuff up. See it for yourselves:<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=GA</a><br /><br />In the past, Mark Potok has made some interesting public comments about the veracity and accuracy of his "hate group" reports:<br /><br />“Potok acknowledged that some of the groups may be small and said it is impossible for outsiders to gauge the membership of most of the groups.” (David Crary, Associated Press Online, March 10, 2008)<br /><br />“Potok says inclusion on the list might come from a minor presence, such as a post office box.” (www.sanluisobispo.com, March 25, 2009)<br /><br />On the impeccably high level of research that goes into each and every “report” churned out by Mr. Potok’s public relations minions:<br /><br />“Mark Potok, who has directed the SLPC’s Intelligence Project for 12 years, said the report relies on media, citizen and law enforcement reports, and does not include original reporting by SPLC staff.” (www.postcrescent.com, July 6, 2009)<br /><br />Last October, we got Potok to admit that his numbers were worthless, on camera. The best defense Potok could work up for his spurious "hate group" reports were that they were "anecdotal," "a very rough estimate," and "an imperfect process."<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow"> http://wp.me/pCLYZ-bc</a><br /><br />Fortunately for Mr. Potok, it really doesn't matter what incredible numbers he pulls out of his imagination. Not one mainstream news outlet has ever vetted his claims and its doubtful that the ever will<br /><br />Unfortunately, the SPLC has now infiltrated the D HS, which regularly regurgitates Potok's fairy tales as fact and is shaping public policy accordingly.<br /><br />This is the greatest threat of such "non-profits" with multimillion dollar propaganda departments and decidedly anti-Constitutional agendas.rkeefe57https://www.blogger.com/profile/17644791758352864725noreply@blogger.com
