Repeats Palestinian propaganda after fear attack in Israel

Democrats, leftists and media opposed to brand-new House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., are utilizing the infamous, far-left group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its challenged “hate” classification to tar Johnson as being associated with an expected “hate group,” which is really a leading Christian conservative legal defense company.

Johnson worked as a lawyer for Alliance Defending Freedom, previously the Alliance Defense Fund, which the SPLC has actually smeared as a “hate group”– primarily due to ADF’s longstanding opposition to homosexuality and the transgender program.

As Daily Signal reported Thursday, “Leftist groups and among Johnson’s Democratic associates in your house noted his history as a legal representative with Alliance Defense Fund, now called Alliance Defending Freedom. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which acquired its track record by taking legal action against Ku Klux Klan groups into insolvency, has actually branded ADF a ‘hate group,’ positioning it on a ‘hate map’ together with Klan chapters.”

Democrat Representative Judy Chu, representing California’s 28 th Congressional District, blasted Johnson on X Wednesday as he was on his method to being chosen Speaker of your home. Her Oct. 25 X post specified: “MAGA Extremist Mike Johnson is not fit to lead your home of Representatives. He:– led efforts to reverse 2020 election, assisting sustain the January 6 insurrection;– wishes to criminalize abortions across the country;– worked formerly for an @splcenter [SPLC] -determined hate group.” Chu’s post was accompanied by a video of Johnson assaulting Roe vs. Wade for resulting in the loss of countless future employees through abortion-on-demand:

The left-biased Guardian duplicated the SPLC “hate” smear in its reporting on Johnson:

SPLC’s strategy of “designating” numerous conservative companies as “hate groups” to advance the Left’s political and cultural stories has actually come under withering criticism over the last few years as lots of countless Americans who follow conservative media and social networks were informed on the group’s radicalism and extremely political nature.

( Editor’s note: Years earlier, this press reporter’s company, Americans For Truth, which opposes the LGBT program, was among the very first pro-family, socially conservative groups to be mislabeled a “hate” group by the SPLC. The leftist group’s ” reporting” was so sloppy that in 2010 the author of one SPLC report misinterpreted this author for Paul Cameron, another socially conservative scientist whose given name likewise starts with “P.”)

If anything, in spite of the huge blowback in the last few years versus SPLC’s spurious “hate” classifications, the Alabama-based “anti-hate” company has actually just broadened its web of conservative companies reviled as “hate groups.” In the MSNBC interview listed below, SPLC CEO Margaret Huang talks about how the SPLC included “Mom For Liberty,” a nationwide grassroots company of mothers (and papas) opposing leftist “vital race theory” and pro-LGBT and pro-transgender propaganda targeting young kids in schools as a “hate” group:

Moms For Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler dismissed the SPLC labeling it and 11 other groups “anti-government extremist groups”: “Outside of it being a leftist attack, political hit task, there’s no reliability behind it. It’s really absurd,” Florida-based Ziegler informed USA Today in June. Ziegler is the chair of the Sarasota School Board.

USA Today reported: “In 2018 the SPLC paid $3.38 million and provided public apologies to Maajid Nawazan, an Islamic activist and the creator of the Quilliam Foundation, to prevent a disparagement claim after the SPLC identified him and others as ‘anti-Muslim extremists.'”

Predictably, the dominant business media utilized crammed terms like “ultra conservative” to explain Johnson, the media guard dog group Media Research Center reports. On the other hand, words like “ultra-liberal” are seldom utilized by “mainstream” reporters:

Left-watcher Andy Ngo sent an X post Monday exposing the radicalism of the SPLC’s union, which in its own series of X posts Oct. 18 echoed extreme Palestinian propaganda in spite of Hamas terrorists’ wanton massacre of Israeli people:

Scarlett Johnson kept in mind that the SPLC Union’s post worried that Palestinian “lives matter,” however made no comparable assertion for Israelis’ and Jewish lives, although theirs had actually simply been savagely brutalized and killed by Hamas terrorists in their Oct. 7 massacre of unwary civilians:

The world’s leading LGBT advocacy group, Human Rights Campaign, sent this X post Wednesday knocking Johnson:

Daily Signal press reporter Tyler O’Neil used this important information of the HRC referral to the “trans”- activist propaganda term “gender-affirming care”:

” Transgender activist groups utilize the term ‘gender-affirming care’ as a euphemism for speculative medical changes with life time effects to which critics state kids can not supply genuinely notified authorization. The expense Johnson presented, the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act of 2022, intends to restrict using federal funds for ‘any sexually-oriented program, occasion, or literature for kids under the age of 10.’ Johnson’s critics branded that a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ expense along the very same lines that they demonized Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ expense broadening adult rights in education.”

Capital Research Center, which focuses on investigating the activist Left, explained the suspicious nature of SPLC’s “hate” formula in a March report:

” SPLC is understood for its Hate Map It declares to have actually determined and exposed over 700 hate groups in America, a lot of which really have despiteful ideologies. Still, on closer appearance, more than a few of these hate-group classifications doubt, to state the least. It identified the American College of Pediatricians as a hate group. According to the SPLC,

‘ The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a fringe anti-LGBTQ hate group that masquerades as the leading U.S. association of pediatricians to press anti-LGBTQ scrap science, mostly by means of reactionary conservative media and filing amicus briefs in cases associated with gay adoption and marital relationship equality.’

” In truth, the ACPeds is a nationwide group of pediatricians that provide their certified voices to all concerns handling kids’s health and health. The SPLC has actually identified them ‘anti-LGBTQ’ since they have actually highlighted the disconcerting information and threats of particular gender-affirming look after transgender kids in America. ‘The American College of Pediatricians ( ACPeds), an expert medical association, gets in touch with companies to reevaluate existing procedures for gender dysphoric kids based upon freshly released information.’ That sounds more like a group of physicians with genuine issues than a hate group.”
