Why is the FBI missing the extremists in our midst? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the organization consulted by the Department of Justice for information on extremists is in bed with them.
Evelyn Schlatter, the deputy director of research of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), was listed as a participant in the recent Left Forum conference, which featured an assortment of communists, 9/11 truthers, pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel activists, and other extremists.… Continue Reading

What do most Republican presidential candidates have in common with dozens of Christian, pro-family and patriotic organizations?
They’re prominently featured in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s latest report, “The Year in Hate and Extremism.”
