Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
On Monday the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) decided to cozy up to the murderers and rapists of the violent MS-13 gang, telling the White House in a tweet that itโs โracistโ and โdehumanizingโ for the administration to refer to them as โanimals.โ
โIt is unacceptable for such racist, dehumanizing language to now be repeated 10 times on the White House website in a document that speaks for America,โ the group said in a tweet.

This was in response to a press release which began: โToo many innocent Americans have fallen victim to the unthinkable violence of MS-13โs animals.โ
White House trolls the shit out of the press corp with title of this press release right now:
โWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIOLENT ANIMALS OF MS-13โ pic.twitter.com/7CHbcenuIzโ Benny (@bennyjohnson) May 21, 2018
Twitchy put this in context by observing that โthe same organization that maintains a โHate Mapโ is going to defend the dignity of MS-13 gang members.โ
The reaction was, well, predictable:
The SPLC stands up for MS-13 gang members. https://t.co/SWhXqMsj1X

An MS-13 gang member was sentenced today to several decades in jail for murdering a child.
His name is Animal.
Blow. https://t.co/BQpUpjdQXM

The @splcenter considers conservative Christians extremists, but will defend murderous gangs from being called what they are..

Any long-time reader of TheLid knows what we think of the hypocritical leftists at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
The supposedly anti-hate group has been spreading lies, misinformation, and hate for years and in recent days those lies have led directly to violent attacks on conservative organizations like the Family Research Council and the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise.
The problem is not that the SPLC is anti-hate, we would commend anyone who speaks out against hatred and hateful groups like the KKK, the Black Panthers, Neo-Nazis, Antifa, and the Westboro โChurch.โ
The problem is that the SPLC targets many groups and people as โhatersโ who arenโt actually spreading hate but have different political or religious beliefs than the SPLC. The SPLC thinks that orthodox Christians are โhate-filledโ for their belief that gay marriage is a sin.
The SPLC thinks that pro-life groups are โhatefulโ for believing that abortion is murder.
The SPLC thinks that anyone who speaks logically, and rationally about the dangers of Islamic extremism is โIslamophobicโ and therefore a hater, even if the speaker is a Muslim who is a reformed Islamic extremist himself.
Maajid Nawaz is a former Muslim extremist who now spends his time fighting against the spread of radical Islam in the West. For his efforts he has been threatened with death by Islamists, and now heโs been slandered as an โIslamophobeโ and a hate group by the SPLC .
Darren thinks the SPLC tweet about MS-13 is pretty dumb;
Iโm not sure itโs possible to get any more stupid than this tweet! Congratulations!!!

Anything is possible, this is Americaโฆ Just give the SPLC an excuse.
Itโs pretty much gotten to the point that if Donald Trump openly spoke against Satan, the left would come out in support of the devil and accuse critics of racism.
theyโre a violent gang of rapists, murderers, and child traffickers. donโt you have anything better to do than criticize the people who are trying to get them and keep them out of our country?

More like the Southern Terrorist Law Center. They are animals and so are you.

This organization is a joke. Just be honest with your intentions already.
Better yet: Letโs see how your react if you ever encounter MS-13 in person. I would love to hear how you describe such โhumansโ

Itโs not difficult to cut through the lies and abuses of the SPLC to see the truth, but thus far the national media has ignored the SPLCโs sins and has continued to pretend that the SPLC is a legitimate anti-hate organization. The folks at Prager University just made it harder for the media to keep ignoring the truth by presenting a thorough and clear argument exposing the SPLC as one of Americaโs leading propagators of hate.
Bingo.
One person noted:
โViolent rapists and murderersโ isnโt a race. https://t.co/yS7TrugmMV
โ Eric Spencer (@JustEric) May 23, 2018
Youโd think that would go without saying, but we ARE talking about the modern leftโฆ
MS-13โs motto is โRape, Kill, Controlโ
Somehow SPLC is worried about this group of savages being โdehumanizedโ
and people still view this organization as respectable. Astounding https://t.co/OA6N4iv49yโ Justin (@GetDunkedCarl) May 22, 2018
Not all people โ just low-information leftists.
Theyโre not calling them animals because of their race, you idiots. Itโs because they murderous, rapists, drug dealing animals. https://t.co/PIvMQM5NvW

What exactly are you defending, the dismemberment of our elderly or the subjugation into sexual slavery of our youth?
You are exploiters of the oppressed and you celebrate true evil.

That pretty much nails it.
