The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks extremist organisations, says it has so far counted more than 300 patriot groups this year...[More]So the Sarah Brady Paradise "Authorized Journalist" wants to call American patriots who believe in the Constitution "extreme," and then tell his readers with a straight face that we should consider SPLC to be "researchers," with the aura of legitimacy and honest brokerage that implies?
Stewart Rhodes asked both Mike Vanderboegh and me if we would talk to this guy--I see he he quoted Mike. He never contacted me, and I also got permission from a militia contact to pass his edress along, and likewise, he was not approached.
Well, Mr. Leonard, had you not been so hurried in your rush to judgment, you might have learned that supporting and defending "the supreme Law of the Land" is hardly the same as being "anti-government."

If there's to be another civil war, I'll be on the side of New Hampshire: "Feds, back off!"
I know of a couple of congressmen who could charge SPLC with treason, regardless of the political consequences. Wish they would.
.... Some of us ARE Anti-Government though.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that I'd settle for a strict adherence to the Constitution doesn't mean that I'm not a Market Anarchist.
But how does me being an Anarcho-Capitalist make me a threat to society?
That's a question no one bothered to ask.
Speaking of Anarcho-Capitalists, I always liked Billy Beck's take on the use of the word "extremist" (as in the SPLC's ambiguous "extremist organizations" cited above). Look at
ReplyDeletethis article from back in the day.
Whenever possible, ask a writer or speaker who uses words like "extremist" to explain their intended meaning, rather than letting them get away with starting the debate on their terms.
