We read:
"The Southern Poverty Law Center, which supported the "hate crimes" bill, is so extreme that it lists the conservative Christian Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), a coalition of churches, on a map of "hate groups" because of its opposition to special rights for homosexuals.
Sunday night's "60 Minutes" on CBS featured a story about CNN's Lou Dobbs that strangely included the comments of a monitor of "hate groups." The implication was that there might be something hateful about Dobbs' opposition to illegal immigration and open borders. Dobbs may not know it yet, but he is being set up as the next Don Imus.
While the story showed reporter Lesley Stahl exchanging pleasantries with Dobbs and interviewing him and his wife, the inclusion of Dobbs critic Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center was ominous. It is an indication that certain political views, mostly of a conservative nature, are being put into the same category as the Don Imus racist joke that got him fired from CBS Radio and MSNBC.....
Stahl quibbled with Dobbs about a claim that immigrants were responsible for bringing leprosy into the U.S., but the issue wasn't really whether he got a fact right or wrong or even whether he was an "advocacy journalist." The clear implication was that Dobbs was somehow encouraging hatred or violence against illegal aliens and was therefore guilty of "hate speech." .....
Potok's latest hysterical article insists that "untold numbers of men and women may have to die" because of criticism of the homosexual lifestyle by conservative Christians, labeled "religious zealots" who employ "the language of hate" and are behind "hate motivated violence."
