No Room at The Inn

     A White Supremacist organization blames the Montgomery based Southern Poverty Law Center for the decision by a Nashville Hotel to cancel facilities for a conference.
    According to a story in The Guardian, the Council of Conservative Citizens had planned to meet at The Guesthouse Inn this weekend. 
     The suspect in the shooting deaths of nine African Americans in a Charleston church cites the group's website in his racial "manifesto":

(Dylann) Roof is believed to have authored an online manifesto that cites the CoCC as providing an introduction to racist ideas and the notion of “black-on-white crime”, a purported phenomenon to which the CoCC dedicates an entire section of its website.

     The CCC says the SPLC found out about the conference and spread the information to Nashville media, which put pressure on the hotel to cancel the reservations.
