Actor George Clooney and his wife Amal recently announced that they are contributing $1 million dollars as a donation to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in the wake of racially-motivated violence in Charlottesville, purportedly in order to combat hate. A prepared statement from the Clooneys said:
We are proud to support the Southern Poverty Law Center in its efforts to prevent violent extremism in the United States. What happened in Charlottesville, and what is happening in communities across our country, demands our collective engagement to stand up to hate.
The problem is that the SPLC only cares about certain kinds of hate — extremist and violent liberals are curiously exempt from their scrutiny.
For example, conservative David Horowitz was speaking at the University of California-San Diego, and a woman in the audience stood up to challenge the veracity of the information offered on a pamphlet that Horowitz had produced, because it identified the Muslim Student Association as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood — a terrorist group. Not only did the young Muslim student refuse to condemn Hamas as a terrorists, she also openly admitted that she’d like to see the Jews from around the world to be gathered in Israel specifically for the purposes of another Jewish genocide. Yet somehow, David Horowitz was the one deemed guilty of hatred by the SPLC and bizarrely landed on their hate map.
Based on that odd turn of events, one might reasonably presume that Horowitz was somehow supposed to be more tolerant and understanding of people who are openly expressing a desire to see him murdered, and only because of his religion. Horowitz has been classified by the SPLC as "anti-Muslim†but given those circumstances, who wouldn’t be?
Even more strange, the Omni Christian Book Club (allegedly a group of "radical traditional Catholicsâ€) of Palmdale, California, makes the SPLC hate map. So do organizations such as The Pray in Jesus’ Name project of Colorado Springs, Colorado, or Tom Brown Ministries of El Paso, Texas, whose statement of faith is similar to the Nashville Statement.
