    Is this the Christian Nation the far right has been telling us about for the past 20 years? This reveals the soul of the nation. America is reaping the harvest of the hate preachers and hate newscasters. Amen. -Wendell Franklin Wentz

    thank you, SPLC, for all you do, have done over the many years, and will continue to do over many, many more!

    A big Thank You to the SPLC for the work you do. Your website keeps me informed as to what to listen for and look for in the common ordinary daily life we live. I will be the first to report anyone and anything suspicious, and have reported activity already.
    We need to be vigilant in our actions to protect our country against the insane antics of the supremacists and right-wingers in the USA.
    Again, my gratitude!

    I saw this Congressman on Chris Matthews the other night, I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a non-white person in a public political position in this country. He gave me a glimpse. He showed the letters he received and the swastika was shown on the tube as well. Despite it all he was professional and calm.

    This is what thirty years of Republican wingnut rule has garnered us; a population that is so gullible and ignorant that with only the stroke of the pen, a few crocodile tears on television and fear mongering on all media levels. Defunding public education, removing accessibility to basic public services has alienated this country, made the poorest feel angry without the skills or the information to figure out what is really happening to them.

    They have built the fire and now they are igniting it.

    Either this will all be brought out so that it can be dealt with using truth and information by the more sensible of us, or it will destroy us all.

    I don’t know, but I know that pretending that Americans don’t believe old racist ideals, that viruses come in from comets, that UFO’s abduct people or that the end times are coming according to some 2,000 year old collection of myths, will not get us further.

    THanks SPLC for keeping the lights shining on the darkest corners of our society.

    UFOs are real. The end times is a myth.

    My dad, both my uncles and my grandpa served our country during WW2. The Nazis were the bad guys.

    Anyone in the US who supports the swastika is NOT a real American. They are fascists and traitors to the Constitution of the United States.

    And they are spitting on the memory of 300,000 GIs that didn’t make it back.

    Shame on those scumbags. Shame!!
