— Democrats Cite Discredited SPLC to Sic the IRS on Conservative ‘Hate Groups’
– TYLER O’NEIL
https://pjmedia.com/trending/dems-cite-discredited-splc-to-sic-the-irs-on-hate-groups/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Yet
(LaHood) also warned that “the IRS should not be used as a political tool
to discriminate against organizations that differ in viewpoints. … We cannot
use political disagreement as a metric to define hate speech or a hate group.
This type of labeling can and has led to violent acts.” “I know my
colleague just referenced the Southern Poverty Law Center,” LaHood said.
“In 2012, an armed man named Floyd Lee Corkins walked into the Family
Research Council Washington headquarters with the intent to shoot and kill as
many of its employees as possible. He was apprehended, but not before wounding
the non-profit’s business manager. Mr. Corkins later told the FBI that he had
seen the nonprofit group listed as an anti-gay hate group on the Southern
Poverty Law Center’s website.” LaHood did not call for the IRS to revoke
the SPLC’s non-profit status (although some, notably Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.),
have called for an investigation, not because the SPLC is liberal but because
it only targets Republicans for its accusations of “hate.”). He
merely joined other Republicans in warning that government attempts to crack
down on “hate” could discriminate against lawful organizations based
on their political viewpoints.)
