The $outhern Poverty Law Center
($PLC) is calling for a federal crackdown on “conspiracy-minded
anti-government Patriot groups.” In a statement released today to
coincide with the publication of the Spring issue of the $PLC newsletter
Investigative Report, the Center warned of “an 813-percent
rise since 2008″ of “conspiracy-minded antigovernment Patriot groups”
and requested Attorney-General Eric Holder form an “interagency task
force to assess the adequacy of federal resources devoted to the
threat.”
“As in the period before the Oklahoma
City bombing, we now are seeing ominous threats from those who believe
that the government is poised to take their guns,” $PLC President
Richard Cohen was quoted in the press release. Cohen is a member of the
Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working
Group.
A Google Maps map
created by the $PLC to accompany their press release displays location
and brand data for the 1,360 organizations the Center says exist. A

Delete& it's way overdue.
I had to explain to my Rep's office who the SPLC is and what it represents.
DeleteIt is quite obvious that we stand for Liberty, Rights and Freedom, we stand for the Constitution and the power of the Declaration of Independence.
All the SPLC stands for is the destruction of the above, the destruction of those who still see's the flickering light of Freedom over the horizon.
They have deemed those who whish to stand up for the Constitution a threat, which must mean we are the enemy.
This is a two way street pal, I don't think you really want to be the enemy of the people, do you?
