For example, they're blaming the Pittsburgh shooter on President Trump. Yeah, really.
On Sunday, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) attempted to connect President Donald Trump to the Tree of Life Congregation synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, Pa. The SPLC tried to blame Trump, even though the shooter said he did not vote for Trump and attacked the president for his close relationship with Jews.Who cares if President Trump has close ties with Jews? Certainly not me. And, certainly not any right-thinking person. And, so what if he does? It's certainly not his fault that a madman entered the synagogue and decided to shoot the place up, committing multiple murders.
Then came the Trump link. "These conspiracy theories are perpetuated and elevated by the increasing amount of hateful rhetoric flying from the mouths, or keyboards, of a growing cast of characters, up to and including President Trump," Beirich argued.Really? Because nut-jobs on the internet posit conspiracy theories, it's their fault if another nut-job decides to shoot up a synagogue? And, ultimately, it's the Presidents fault? Oh, gimme a break.
The SPLC used to do good work in the venue of civil rights. That time is long past. Now, they are just another irrelevant hate group positing far fetched conspiracy theories. It's really sad.

The late Mike Vanderboegh labeled them, "The Southern Preposterous Lie Center".
So if I say I am for somebody, then I am against them?
In that case, I am all for the SPLC.
Ironically, one of the charity rating websites rates the SPLC very highly for financials because they have seven years of operating expences, i.e., staff pay squirreled away in the bank.
They down-grade charities that live hand-to-mouth and actually move funds to where they are needed.
Donald Trump has supported Isreal repeatedly, even moving the U.S. consulate to Jerusalem, a move Isreal was beside themselves in approval.
And MSM sill claims Trump has it in for Isreal. The air in the Ivory Towers must be pretty thin.
This is part of the Democrats desperation to pull down the President by attempting to tie him to anything bad that happens, no matter how silly or insulting their claims are. They don't realize that their desperation and their radicalization is pushing people away.
I keep running into people who want me to commiserate with them how terrible and violent President Trump is but they refuse to address the violence and threats coming from the people they support - in fact, some of them strongly claim that such a thing doesn't exist!
