AFDI-Designated Threat to Freedom SPLC Hides Subversive Commie Ties

9

The communists over at the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the gravest threats to freedom in the United States, as named in the AFDI Threats to Freedom Index, is yet again trying to suppress the truth about its subversive and dangerous ties.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) defames and attempts to marginalize conservative, pro-freedom organizations as “hate groups.” It uses its listing of “hate groups” to try to stigmatize, and ultimately criminalize, love of country and patriotism. It works to systematically destroy voices that are speaking out against oppression and persecution.

The SPLC leaders have read my book and they are dissembling and distancing themselves from their notorious commie ties. My source on the story is golden.  Don't you love how leftist journalists always stoutly insist upon the inviolability of confidential sources — unless, of course, they're showing up the Left. Then their identities must be revealed at all costs!

Islamophobe Geller, in New Book, Accuses SPLC of Being ‘Communist Front' by Robert Steinback on September 21, 2011

Pamela Geller is the nation’s most charismatic purveyor of wild-eyed allegations that Muslim fanatics – which, in her mind, include every Muslim who hasn’t categorically renounced Islam itself – will topple the Constitution and impose Shariah law any day now, unless freedom-loving Americans heed her warnings. Her new book, “Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance” – meaning, the “counterjihadist” resistance – purports to instruct Americans on how to stand heroically against this entirely ridiculous scenario.

Most clear-thinking Americans can tell the difference between the real but limited threat posed by Islamic terrorists and the utterly insane theory that an entire religion is conspiring to take over the Western world. But then, Geller has a hard time separating facts from imagination.

Take, for example, the reference in her book to the Southern Poverty Law Center, whom she despises for having designated her organization, Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), as a hate group. The passage, reprinted from a February post on Geller’s Atlas Shrugs blog, creates

Drudgesioa-book-jacketifa

an entirely fictitious history of the SPLC (which publishes this blog).

It reads, “Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the SPLC was designated as a Communist front. [Geller doesn’t say by whom.] It was essentially run by a couple, Anne and Carl Braden, who were Community Party USA members. They had been identified in sworn testimony, and they made no attempt to deny the allegations. They would be proud that their legacy remains intact today: their “heirs” – destroyers and America-haters — continue their work to subvert and destroy America.”

Heretofore, no one has disputed that the SPLC was founded in 1971 by Alabama civil rights lawyers Morris Dees and Joe Levin, both of whom remain active in the organization today. The Bradens, though renowned as courageous white champions of black civil rights in the heart of a racially intolerant South – and by no definition “destroyers” or “America-haters” – were never associated with SPLC.

“They didn’t have anything to do with the Center,” Levin reiterated Tuesday.

Heidi Beirich, the SPLC’s director of research, politely asked Geller for a correction. Beirich wrote, “Hi there. I just thought you might want to know that the section of your book on the founding of SPLC is completely wrong. Our founders are Morris Dees and Joe Levin. The Bradens have never played a role in the SPLC. I think you have confused us with someone or something else. We’d appreciate a correction.”

Geller, however, insisted her tall tale was accurate.  She replied, “Hi there. SIOA is not a hate group. I think you have confused us with someone or something else. We’d appreciate a correction. As for the Bradens, they were formally affiliated with the Southern Conference Educational Fund, which was a Communist front group. Both of the Bradens, and particularly Annie, worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center also. I have this on good authority from a Communist Party insider who was told not to mention outside of Party circles their work with the SPLC, but who passed it on to me. That insider believed that their presence was supposed to be under the radar, and that while they may not have been involved in the SPLC’s founding, they latched on to it and made common cause. The Party loved to appeal to Black Americans by asserting a strong anti-Klan stance – that was their entering wedge. The Southern Poverty Law Center, as I am sure you’re aware, was a perfect tool for that. I am confident in the veracity of my sources for this, and hence no correction is needed. However, I look forward to your retraction and correction of your libelous smear of SIOA.”

Geller has a secret “informant” inside the Communist Party? How convenient – a source with a story no one can verify. Furthermore, Geller claims this source “was told not to mention outside of Party circles their work with the SPLC” – but then violates that directive by telling all to a woman known for posting all manner of hokum on her blog, including such whoppers as President Obama’s mother having once been an exotic dancer and that Obama is the love child of Malcolm X. (In the book, Geller refers to all those who voted for Obama as “morons.” Classy.)

Geller’s response to Beirich walks back from the book’s assertion that the SPLC was “essentially run” by the Bradens, to their “working with” the SPLC and “making common cause.” Historically, the Communist Party was indeed a strong proponent of racial equality during America’s Jim Crow years. As a result, it became a common tactic of white segregationists to accuse civil rights proponents of being in the thrall of communists. Geller appears to be relying on a similar canard here.

Beirich wrote to Geller again, reasserting that the Bradens played no role at SPLC. In her next reply, Geller tattled more about her supposed confidential source:  “My informant worked for a Communist Party bookstore between 1978 and 1983. My informant learned there directly and with certainty that Anne Braden was a Communist Party member and that she also had worked with the Southern Poverty Law Center. Perhaps your superiors have lied to you.”

Or, perhaps Geller is just chronically impaired when it comes to plain reality – especially those parts of it that deviate from the reality she creates in her head.

However wrong Pam may be, none of that changes the fact SPLC acts like a Communist Party front labeling freedom loving organizations hate groups. If it quacks like a duck…

It still blows my mind that people in the position to write and publish on a world scale can be so mind-numbingly ignorant of the religion they are reporting about.
I have decided that human beings are all fundamentally alone and afraid deep down inside somewhere. Liberals are paralyzed by their own fear and explain it away because they simply can’t live in a world where a significant percent of the population might actually want to convert or kill them.
We, the Real Americans, the Fighters, simply choose a different path, one of Resistance. Wherever the serpent slithers, it will find our words to light the Way for our brethren who are still in the Darkness. If it stays, it will do so under our bootheel, not the other way around. My daughters will not be raised under the Sharia while I live.

“Most clear-thinking Americans can tell the difference between the real but limited threat posed by Islamic terrorists and the utterly insane theory that an entire religion is conspiring to take over the Western world. But then, Geller has a hard time separating facts from imagination.”- Robert Stein
Pamela has made no such assertion (“conspiring to take over the Western world”). You are dishonest, or not very bright, in your straw-man tactics, Steinbeck.
What Pamela is saying is that free political speech and our liberties in america will be guaranteed in the future, in the long term, if folks understand that it is an obligation of Muslims to impose Sharia in a non-Muslim society. (That is the obligation of Muslims. Period. This (real Islamic doctrine) ain’t the Sermon on the Mount, Steinbeck.) Pamela is doing her best to educate the public here in the good ol USA re that.
To repeat: Pamela has not asserted that there is a conspiracy in this matter-but that there is a long-term threat to free political speech if the public is not educated real the reel dogmas of Islam. She also asserts as a second theme on this site, Mr. Clear-thinker: that Islam, as presently configured, with its institutionalized Jew-hating, is a potential existential threat to the Jewish people. (I think she’s right on that too, Mr. Clear-thinker.)
The fact that Muslims who are terrorists are minority within Islam does not mean that Islam is not a threat. The ideology itself is the basis of the terrorists actions against Unbelievers. The Nazis were a minority Germany. The ideology (Islam) is the issue. You carefully avoid that issue, Mr. clear-thinker.
Pamela is dealing with the facts in this matter in her two themes. On the other hand, Lenin had the right phrase for you, Steinbeck: “useful idiot.”

I love how these “useful idiots” cleverly imply that if you agree with them then you are “clear-thinking” as they create their straw-man (“utterly insane theory that an entire religion is conspiring to take over the Western world”-Steinbeck). This article and Steinbeck are full of shit.
You start with your cone contusion-don’t you Steinbeck?

Do I really have to think about Morris Dee’s and the SPLC again? After reading his divorce papers, well, it kinda turned me sour on him. 😉 What freaks!
Pamela, loved your response about the correction. Perfect!
Btw, I finished your book and have already passed it on to a friend who was interested in reading it. She doesn’t know much about the subject but she will now.

“Most clear-thinking Americans can tell the difference between the real but limited threat posed by Islamic terrorists and the utterly insane theory that an entire religion is conspiring to take over the Western world. But then, Geller has a hard time separating facts from imagination.”- Robert Stein
Utterly insane? Potatoes love Tilamook, that’s utterly insane. A knowledge of Islam’s hairy history will soon prove that indeed an entire religion has been conspiring to take over the Western world, way back since the 7th cent., as proved by launching a thousand-year jihad that terrorized half the world and gobbled up a quarter of it. After the West regrouped and fought back, their jihad fizzled until the caliphate was finally abolished in 1924. Ever since they’ve been playing wolf in sheep’s clothing until they get strong again, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not still conspiring to take over not only the Western but the entire world, because Allah commanded them to in the Quran, and they can’t argue with their god. It’s only the recent permission to the Muslim world to immigrate in large numbers to the West that puts their conspiracy in a position to work.
The Sharia enclaves are actually a side issue, and even Geller still doesn’t ‘get’ it that Congress needs to declare a moratorium on Muslim immigration and seek to reverse it now, or watch America turn into stans that are ramping up civil war a la Lebanon. It’s not about religion anyway, meaning individual worship. It’s about organized Islam, which is a political conspiracy forever inimical to our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and entire way of life, it wasn’t Ahmed’s apple it was Newton’s apple.
In short, Allah is the archenemy of the U.S. Constitution, thus every Muslim in America is a potential agent of a foreign power and/or enemy combatant, and can never be a full American citizen entrusted with fighting and dying to protect it. Also, America has long been a world refuge for Jews, and letting them immigrate is a ticking time bomb: where are the Jews going to flee next? It’s not about racism, because any Muslim who is willing to renounce Islam and chuck the Quran and quit giving it to their kids is welcome to apply for immigration along with the rest of the world. Even individual self-described Muslims who are not members of any Muslim organization might be allowed on probation. Congress must quit ostriching and face the issue by declaring organized Islam of all kinds a political enemy and passing appropriate legislation.
