What is your point?

You've never heard of the Southern Poverty Law Center? They made their bones years ago when they sued the Klan, and a black woman wound up owning the Klan's national headquarters. I've always seen a certain amount of humor in this.
Since then, they operate like Judicial Watch. They find a boogy man, use him to stir up a bunch of trouble, and to collect donations.
When you look at their terrorist watch list, you will find that they have pretty much neglected the Islamic extremists. Here in central Missouri they have located a chapter of the Klan, and several chapters of The League of the South. But they missed the Islamists in Columbia, and they're there, the FBI even raided them a few years ago.
My point is, they are agenda driven. The Klan's the Klan no doubt, don't know anything about the League of the South, and maybe there are militia's everywhere, but I haven't heard anything about them for years. Back in the early 80's there were a bunch of kooks who called themselves "The Covenant, the Sword, and The Arm of the Lord" in South Missouri, but they were cleaned out years ago.
And now they're linking Fox News with the extremists. I know you despise Fox, but they are main stream, and certainly don't operate in the shadows. Beck gets a little wild eyed at times, but he is simply voicing his opinions, and has every right to do so. And he doesn't pass his show off as news.
If Fox has a lot of influence, it's because a lot of people tend to agree with their views. If they are so influential, why haven't they pulled the wool over your eyes?
The SPLC considers rabble rousing good when they do it, but bad when Fox does it. To tell the truth, I wish both sides would tone it down a bit.
