Oh, boo-hoo!

SPLC engages in reverse racism to “combat racism”. How does that make them better than anyone?

i can’t beleive that persons like this are paid by educational facilities. if a high school drop out or homeless person would spew this crap, they would most likely be hospitalized at the least. God help us all!!!

Not required – can you back up your assertion with facts? I don’t believe for a minute that our society is more violent. There are more people in prison because of NON-VIOLENT drug charges. People come to the US to work and most immigrants are hard workers. It sounds to me as if you simply have a problem with skin color that isn’t white. Do you realize how stupid that is? People are just people. And to you Joe, being religious has nothing to do with morality. Some of the most bigoted, immoral people I know claim to be Xian; likewise, I know many agnostics and atheists that are very kind, decent, moral people. Freedom of religion is a precious thing – so is freedom from it if that is one’s choice.

I can’t see what Tanton or the “racists” have been wrong about at all. America is today a poorer, more violent place precisely because of the new people living in it are more violent and less intelligent. They are also particularly hostile to whites, which obviously does not serve white interests. Whites standing up for their interests may often come across as “hate” (especially thanks to the efforts of your bizarre group and its media sympathizers) but crucial question, the one which really counts, is are they telling the truth? From everything I have been able to gather, they are. I find myself disgusted by the frantic antics of SPLC clowns like Ms. Beirich to mislead whites about where their true interests lie. While seeking to protect minorities is a worthy endeavor, the way the SPLC has gone about it is downright dishonorable.

Ok SPLC what should all American believe?

What should we all be reading? Who should be hanging out with? What should we be eating? It seems the SPLC must be representing some sort of MASTER RACE itself, after all they sure have every i dotted and T crossed when it comes to virtues don’t you?

I bet some of the great writers of the SPLC don’t even believe in God, the Bible or even Jesus Christ. Nice roll models you are.You people are just hatemonger’s in reverse and those who think the SPLC represents anything ” Godly” better take another look. The SPLC is just another 1984 and Animal farm all rolled into one cesspool of cultic thinking.

When are you going to grow up? The more you write against people you dislike the more I want to talk to these people. Your articles aren’t helping us. Those who don’t have brains to think for themselves seem to gravitate to groups like the SPLC or should I spell it out, Some People Like Crap, SPLC, and you sure dish it out.

Tsk, tsk Tired. don’;t blow a matza ball.

Whites want to protect their kids and their race! I’ll tell you what– I’ll fall for the “racist” and “antisemitic” guilt trips when the Jews stop being concerned about the Holocaust and allow Africans into Israel. I guess this is what the word “chutzpah” is for.

Well, got to go–to my checkbook and write a fat check to FAIR. Check out fairus.org and compare with splc–genetic?

Thanks for another good study. I intend to cite it widely, as I have your previous ones. Lots of folks love to cite NumbersUSA et al. in newspaper blogs, and it’s very helpful to have some illuminating facts to throw back at them!

I cannot believe I am seeing so much hate and bigotry in these comments.

Ignorance on the internet knows no bounds Louis, and has long since ceased to surprise me. A reasonable and well-sourced article explaining the racist connections of a member of the anti-immigration movement magically attracts a fine, upstanding citizen like Babette, sputtering racist gibberish in a comment section, looking for anyone or anything other than themselves (preferably a brown person) to blame for some problem in their life, then proceeding to drool out some God-bothering hoo-ha and accuse the SPLC of trying to “destroy America”. Unoriginal, uninspired, and frankly boring Babs. If you really feel so strongly about immigration, feel free to hop on the next boat to wherever the fuck your ancestors immigrated here from, you mouthbreathing hypocrite.

babette,

yes, there are racists among every race. racist black people, racist white people, racist latinos, and so on. but those groups are not what is under discussion here, and their existence does not excuse tanton’s racist background. you can’t favor the racism of one group over another. that would be irrational and hateful. you have to denounce both.

I’d like to know why you don’t go after the mexicon and mexicon supporter Americans that are racist against American citizens. Go to YouTube, there are all kinds of racist mexicons spewing hate and filth about ‘whites’. People like Frank Sharry is being paid by the Ford Foundation to make war on American workers by bringing in more illegals. This was the reason why Ford was supposed to take it’s business to MEXICO, oh they were so moral butter wouldn’t melt in their wicked mouths, they were going to help the mexico economy,,,, yeah, RIGHT!! I’m beginning to think you people are nothing but a bunch low life paid propagandist hacks who are out to destroy America! And if you are, GOD is gonna get’cha. And I can’t wait ’til you all drink the Kool-aid. Link to the American paid traitor:

I know Armando personally. He is not a racist. He is human, and as such we sometimes become frustrated with the way our people are treated in the land of the free.

This is quite the expose. The evidence is overwhelming. My hope is that, now, ordinary Americans who have gotten involved in these groups will take a step back and ask themselves if this is the type of person they would like to be associated with, and, if they think that hate or racism are American values.

Summary: there might be one old white guy who was and may still be a racist (like Sen. Byrd (D)). I know a younger guy who is very active in the immigration movement and very outspoken and racist. His name is Armando Navarro in Riverside, Mexifornia. Let’s see your story about him! You won’t have to dig through decades old papers to find his racism and bigotry. He says it every day and in his classrooms at UCR.

Seems like Heidi and SPLC are looking for racism in all the wrong places! Typical. The public sees right through this smear by association.

Thank you, Heidi Beirich.

I’m 48 and I remember Tanton from the 80′s here in CA. He was trying to use the ecology and (over) population to mask his racism.

You have my respect.

TO EH
your data on hispanics is wrong.

according to the US prison bureau (govt)
http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/pub/ascii/pjim05.txt
At midyear 2005 nearly 6 in 10 persons in local jails were
racial or ethnic minorities.
Whites made up 44.3% of the jail population;
blacks, 38.9%;
Hispanics, 15.0%;
and other races (American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders), 1.7%.

Now according to US govt census data,
http://www.census.gov/Press-Re.....11910.html

Hispanics are 15% of the population so Hispanic incarceration is a 1 to 1 ratio with the Hispanic percentage of the population–no higher than its presence in the US and certainly not 4 times higher than american whites.

Am wondering how many rich white males will go to prison for the current wall street greed that will cost you and your kids thousands of dollars of your hard earned money in that 1 trillion dollar bailout.
Rob a 7-11–go to jail

The casual use of “hate site” to describe VDARE.com tells much of what one needs to know about Comrade Beirich and the SPLC. And check out her letter to Lawrence Auster to see a character assassin in action. Race exists, as does racial consciousness, and upending the racial balance of a nation is bound to have major effects (and already is). Heidi and the SPLC don’t even want to allow discussion of any of this. They are politically correct intimidaters, gradually becoming a bad joke.

Perhaps for her next project Heidi can explain how massive immigration of Hispanics (so massive that in some areas they form practically a replacement population) — who as a demographic group are about statistically 4x as likely as American Whites to be imprisoned, as well as very significantly less likely to do well in school (e.g. to graduate from high school and attend college) — can possibly be a good thing for America as a competitive nation in the world economy. I’m having trouble seeing how it could be. So I’m hoping Heidi can explain this before I go over to the ‘dark side’ and join the all the ‘racists’ who suggest that it is indeed not a good thing.

I would like to know FAIR’s and SPLC’s position on capital flows to the US from Latin America over the last 40 years that have diverted investment funds from home-grown industry in Latin America. These funds have been diverted toward investment in jobs in the US for US citizens. There is plenty of evidence of these capital flows which have been illegal transfers from Latin America that have been willfully accepted here. We need to come to grips with our own responsibility for the fact that there are no employment opportunities south of the Rio Grande due to our own complicity in law breaking by wealthy Latin Americans and wealthy US citizens who accepted these investment dollars for our own gain.

I’ve been following your articles on Tanton since the first Puppetteer expose. I found Tanton’s website at http://www.johntanton.org and if you want to see what this racist in sheep’s clothing has to say, there are interviews at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lucNJzf2zeo .

Direct quotes aren’t exactly “guilt by association”. More like “guilt by massive amounts of documented evidence”.

To summarize:

if I write a letter to a nazi, that doesn’t make me a nazi sympathizer.

If I write a letter to a nazi espousing nazi sympathies, that does make me a nazi sympathizer.

It’s cool that you did this but is it really news that intellectual racists all know each other and correspond with each other? All these people are basically in the same category to begin with.

assassination of tanton. after all he “corresponded with others”. that is always guilt by association – just like mccarthy and you are using it. i dont like your attack either which smacks of mccarthyism.
