Here's The Greatest News Photo In Baton Rouge History: "...Dudley DeBosier advertises on the sides of buses, right? Well, if you didn’t know that before you’ll certainly know it now – because that fact animates perhaps – as the headline says – the greatest news photo in the history of Baton Rouge."

How the Southern Poverty Law Center Enraged Nominal Conservatives Into Betraying Free Speech Values | Popehat
Three things to comment on here...Ken's take on this is spot-on.
Free speech is free speech. Just because you don't like what someone is saying doesn't mean it is wrong. Granted, it can't be libelous, either.
This is where the "Liberty Counsel" group chose the wrong target. If they feel they are being libeled, they should have gone after SPLC instead of GuideStar. But they know that would have cost them a lot more in legal fees.
The last thing is the description of the SPLC...They themselves have become a "hate" group by calling anyone who they don't like a "hate" group:
I am sure there are better ways to spend your support dollars.
If you do want to support something for a good cause, how about something near & dear to my heart?
Restore or Retreat, a non-profit organization that seeks to identify, epedite, and aggressively engage solutions to urgently achieve comprehensive coastal restoration in Louisiana.

How the Southern Poverty Law Center Enraged Nominal Conservatives Into Betraying Free Speech Values | Popehat: "The latest culprit is Liberty Counsel, a group that litigates in pursuit of what it identifies as Christian values. Liberty Counsel has sued GuideStar, a database of charities, over GuideStar's controversial adoption of the Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate group" designation of entities including Liberty Counsel, which GuideStar later retracted. Liberty Counsel's complaint — which you can read here — is simply vexatious and unethical. It is — to abandon my pretense of decorum for a moment — a thoroughly contemptible and un-American piece of shit, and the lawyers who filed it deserve scorn. Liberty Counsel has filed a frivolous, censorious lawsuit against Guidestar in a cynical and craven attempt to avoid the more well-funded and ready-to-litigate PLC."

There are many reasons to criticize the modern SPLC,1 which has sadly fallen from a group that once fought Klansmen and Nazis to protect rights down to the level of a shrill, doctrinaire, orthodox-leftist flailing denouncer of miscellaneous petty thoughtcrime. It is no longer to be trusted or taken seriously. If you want your money to support people protecting the powerless from violent bigotry rather than funding the sophomoric assembly of tendentious enemies lists, you should donate elsewhere.
