“I have written many times before about the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization to which I contributed for many years back in the late 1970s and 1980s, when SPLC was fighting Klan groups.
So why am I writing today about the SPLC? Because I just read an article in The Daily Caller (h/t Instapundit) in which the author notes that the SPLC lists Sarah Palin’s speech in Nashville last February at the National Tea Party Convention as one of the landmark events in the “Patriot Movement” historical timeline.
Here is the link to the text of Palin’s speech. It is clear that SPLC is being purposefully misleading and deceptive in suggesting, by including this sentence from the speech in the timeline, that Palin was calling for violence consistent with the “Patriot movement” (as defined by SPLC).
Now in many ways Scott Brown represents what this beautiful movement is all about. He was just a guy with a truck and a passion to serve our country. He looked around and he saw that things weren’t quite right in Washington, so he stood up and he decided he was going do his part to put our government back on the side of the people. And it took guts and it took a lot of hard work, but with grassroots support, Scott Brown carried the day. It has been so interesting now to watch the aftermath of the Massachusetts shout-out revolution…”
Please read more of this timely article that reveals the outright intent of these media thought tanks to mislead. This is part of the kit of tactics of the Liberal Left, that in order to prevail in pandering their outright obfuscation to those readers who don’t question the argument in what they are reading, who don’t look further than what they have been trained in the last twenty years of liberal media to accept, i.e., only that which what has been underwritten and endorsed by the well-funded and politically correct liberal thought tanks of the Left.
