Don't look now but Tucker Fucking Carlson is calling out the SPLC

As proof the SPLC is a fraudulent organization, TFC is calling on "expert" witness Tony Fucking Perkins of the Fucking Family Research Council, who once paid David Fucking Duke $82K for his mailing list.

OH yeah there is a reason
Dees joined forces with another young Montgomery lawyer, Joe Levin. They took pro bono cases few others were willing to pursue – the outcome of which had far-reaching effects. Some of their early lawsuits resulted in the desegregation of recreational facilities, the reapportionment of the Alabama Legislature, the integration of the Alabama state trooper force and reforms in the state prison system.

The lawyers formally incorporated the SPLC in 1971, and civil rights activist Julian Bond was named the first president. Dees and Levin began seeking nationwide support for their work. People from across the country responded with generosity, establishing a sound financial base for the new organization.

In the decades since its founding, the SPLC shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. It dismantled vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBT community and the disabled, protected low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation, and more.

In the 1980s, the SPLC began monitoring white supremacist activity amid a resurgence of the Klan and today its Intelligence Project is internationally known for tracking and exposing a wide variety of hate and extremist organizations throughout the United States.

Always has been, always will be. The SPLC is one of the most outstanding human rights advocates on the planet. Tucker Fucking Carlson should take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut and disappear up his own asshole.

Standard way to hurt liberals and Democrats - divide them. NYT is showing just how liberal of a paper they are.
Carlson will probably cite this NYT article.

I find it rather funny that when the SPLC calls out bow-tie boy for his obvious associations with Nazis he calls out "mainstream media" for referencing them. Then as proof the SPLC is full of shit he trots out another Nazi.
