John Stossel, an American consumer television personality known for his career on both ABC News and Fox Business Channel, has now exposed that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which continually grossly misrepresents and labels pro-family and conservative organizations as so-called “hate groups,” “has become a hate group itself and is now a left-wing, money-grabbing, slander machine.”

Stossel reports on his social media sites ReasonTV and StosselTV that the SPLC’s “‘hate group’ list is bogus. While launching hateful smears like these, SPLC invites you to donate to them to ‘join the fight against hatred and bigotry.’ SPLC once fought useful fights. They took on the Ku Klux Klan. But now they go after people on the right with whom they disagree.”

The SPLC recklessly labels Christian, pro-family and conservative nonviolent groups such as Liberty Counsel, and others as “hate groups,” classifying them with violent groups like the KKK, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists. The SPLC refuses to include left-leaning organizations that do engage in or have a history of violence, including Antifa.

Liberty Counsel has prepared several documents rebutting the SPLC’s false, defamatory, and dangerous labeling here.
