Southern Poverty Law Center labels anti gay Family Research Council a hate group
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 04:13 PM by Cyrano
And it's about time. The SPLC did this because of anti gay rhetoric, but there are a dozen other reasons that these so-called "Christians" should be on everyone's "hate group" list.

For those not familiar with the Southern Poverty Law Center, they keep track of hate groups nationwide. Their lawyers have put many such groups out of business through law suits that confiscated their assets and funding.

If you think that one man can't make a difference, google Morris Dees, head of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC has put more homegrown terrorist organizations out of business than all of our presidential administrations combined.

1. I'm surprised they weren't already on the list.
FRC is about hate, period.

2. Saddleback Church and Focus On The Family should be next.

3. This may be the best thing that could happen in this country...
at this time to push back against the "anti-gay movement", which has become rampant.

It couldn't happen to a "nicer bunch of Christians"... FRC richly deserves the moniker "Hate Group". :puke:
