    This is a no-brainer, really. The more you criminalize people the more crime you get.
    Take the internet, and take file-sharing and then just add the two together and
    outlaw file sharing, you get an instant couple of million of additional criminals.

    Nothing to see here, move along citizens. There's a whole "Enforcement Community" to be
    built here on the net, much like the "War on Drugs" racket that criminalizes millions
    of Americans already and is the cause for more than 70% of all incarceration in this country.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Poverty_Law_ Center#Controversy

    Controversy

    The SPLC has attracted controversy surrounding its politics, "hate group" identification and monitoring methods, and financial practices. It has been described by the Washington Post as a "controversial liberal organization."[1]
    [edit]

    Fabrication of stories

    A federal commission and the Charlotte Observer concluded that in 1996 the SPLC had "misinformed the media" and fabricated stories that black church burnings were the work of the Ku Klux Klan and other conspirators of like mind.[2] The USA Today verified and collaberated the Charlotte Observer story, commenting further that the SPLC purposefully hid the fact that some of the fires "were set by a black man."[3] Stephen Bright of the "Southern Center for Human Rights" declared that Dees "is a fraud who has milked a lot of very wonderful well-intentioned people. If it's got headlines, Morris is there."[3] The Cleveland Scene has reported that the SPLC has often woefully exaggerated its reports or reported stories that were disingenuous.[4] The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation verified and collaborated the Cleveland Scene report.[4]
    [edit]

    Endorsement of Marxism

    Researcher Laird Wilcox give examples of the SPLC's endorsement of Marxism, citing the SPLC's support of leftist extremist groups having long-time Marxist connections, such as the "Center for Democratic Renewal of Atlanta" and the "Political Research Associates of Somerville, Massachusetts.[5]
    [edit]

    Financial management

    The American Institute of Philanthropy, an independent charity watchdog organization, gave SPLC a grade of F because SPLC spends only 51 to 65% of its income on program services, and because it continues to fundraise even as though it is cash-rich with $137 million assets. These assets are equal to six years' worth of SPLC's operational expenses, twice that recommended as reasonable by the AIP. (Charity Rating Guide and Watchdog Report, Dec. 2004, Vol. 38) SPLC's own website [13] confirms $137 million figure. (August 10, 2006)
    [edit]

    David Horowitz

    Myles Kantor of the Pureplay Press[14] and conservative columnist David Horowitz [15] have both accused the SPLC of exaggerating the threat of racism in order to increase fund-raising revenue and of wrongfully applying the term "hate group" to legitimate organizations.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center and Morris Dees have engaged in a dispute with Horowitz over material written by Chip Berlet related to Horowitz's campaign against slavery reparations, which the SPLC claims constitutes "hate speech". Horowitz writes:

    The effect is to multiply the number of racial hate groups, to scare well-meaning citizens into the belief that mainstream civil rights organizations like the Center for the Study of Popular Culture are really fever swamps of hate that deserve to be lumped alongside the Ku Klux Klan. The purpose of this fear-mongering is transparent. It is to fill the already wealthy coffers of your organization by exploiting unsuspecting donors into helping you promote leftwing agendas under the guise of civil rights. [16]
