Saturday Data: SPLC under attack

    The Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center has come under increasing attacks this week, most recently by a web site that proclaims itself...

 "...a news website and blogging platform built for conservative, libertarian, free market and pro-family writers and broadcasters."

     "Western Journalism" says the SPLC is... 

"...setting people up for terrorist attacks inside the United States. Pamela Geller is the latest on the list of the SPLC that has now been targeted for death by the jihadists. ISIS says “…we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter.”

And WJ says the media (I presume they mean the "mainstream" media)....

 "...regard the SPLC as somehow a credible source of information.
This brings a human face to the slogan, “if it bleeds, it leads,” and makes the media complicit in the planned jihad on American soil and its victims.
The SPLC exercises what journalist James Simpson calls “partisan tolerance,” which means conservatives and Christians must be demonized and destroyed. On the other hand, anyone on the left is acceptable."

    CBS's Bob Schieffer also came under attack recently for identifying a guest as representing a group identified by the SPLC as a hate group.

     Your head can head hurt trying to figure out how the SPLC is somehow in cahoots with ISIS, but whatever. 
     Is the Justice Department also complicit for identifying hate groups or individuals who promote hate?
