    I’ll throw in one of my favorites from the Southern Poverty Law Center. As most who read know, they are a virulent alt-Left organization that promotes every anti-American cause known and identifies all people, groups, and organizations that disagree with their worldview as being members of ‘hate groups’. As usual, no evidence needed, mere accusations suffice. I recommend reading at least some of the highlights of their latest report.

    StevenF 1217pm – According to the lights that illuminate the Right-leaners, SPLC is a longtime lavish liar about whom and what organizations they designate haters and hate groups. They have already put out their Big Lie which I invited you to read in 1124am. While there are extreme views on both sides, I don’t think holding a different worldview from someone should instantly make someone a hater. E.g. for years I have been identified as one such hater by members of, say, Team Pelline, among your other cohorts.
    Waldo 1227pm – What exactly is the ‘there’, and what is the evidence for it? And if it is something rising to the importance of impeachment culpability, why did the Dems not establish it with something other than assembling a collection of equally baseless accusations?

    What is Trump bragging about when he claims massive opposition for impeachment. this was just released. Reaffirms Trump doesn’t have a clue and is delusional.
    “A new poll released on Christmas Day shows record-level support among U.S. voters for the ouster of President Donald Trump—a finding that indicates the Republican Party’s effort to obstruct accountability for the president is not having the desired result.
    The daily tracking poll from Microsoft News published Wednesday asked respondents if they “support or oppose the Senate voting to remove President from office?” It found that while 55% of people support only 40% oppose—a dramatic surge for those backing Trump’s ouster and a record for the poll that has been asking that same question since late September of this year.”

Just days earlier, a Morning Consult-Politico poll showed slightly higher numbers in favor of removing Trump, with 51% supporting and 42% opposed.”

    OK, I think it’s clear that occasionally the SPLC can be incorrect in something they publish. But you are not pointing to any specific thing, you are saying their (SPLCs) entire perspective is a Big Lie.
    The problem is that a vast majority of what they publish and the groups and people they spotlight s accurate. Their entire premise as an organization is that right wing, racist, white supremacist, and anti Semitic hate exists, is more prevalent than we think, and that although overwhelmingly right wing also includes some left wing groups, and that by exposing them we lessen their impact.
    They are entirely correct in that premise.
    The reason that people like Fred and I post here is the same premise; that we have a responsibility to shine a light on your mind set.
    You are a racist, white supremacist, separatist, hateful voice in our community. Fred is also correct that for all your expressions of kulture and pseudo intellectualism, people see you for exactly what you are, a Nazi.

    No problem. In the spirit of the Christmas season (and perhaps in a bit of post-Christmas feast ennui) them darned commies always start looking for potential Hitlers to accuse. You’re lucky that the non-Christians haven’t started accusing the Christians of non-Christianity, a typical Christmas pasttime.
    Such is the way of life. Which reminds me:
    “An old priest died and went to heaven. He was asked if he had one last wish before entering.
    He replied that he would like to have a conducted tour of hell.
    They began in one of the deepest pits reserved for those whose lives had been utterly evil. There he saw a lake of boiling shit in which stood Hitler and Stalin. Stalin was up to his waist in it and Hitler up to his nose.
    That’s outrageous,” said the priest. “Why should Hitler be punished more than Stalin? I suffered under both and Stalin was just as evil as Hitler.”
    “You don’t understand,” said his guide, “Stalin is standing on Lenin’s shoulders.””

    It’s most remarkable that fuming leftwing worthies like Frisch, Wells, et al come here into their devil’s den to shine their light. But then who do they think among RR readers will be enlightened by such shinings? Are they attempting to adjust the attitudes of our conservative readers who have been fooled by my observations and commentaries? Or are they attempting to warn their likeminded readers who somehow don’t have the acumen to see through it all as the keen-minded Frisch et al, therefore they must be warned away lest they succumb. One would think that they would take their message about me and RR to outlets more consumed by their referenced community – like KVMR listeners, KNCO listeners, Union readers, their own blogs and Facebook pages, … – consumed by those who surely are not regular RR readers.
    BTW, don’t take the above as a recommendation to change your commenting policy. As I’ve said many times before, you and yours are a critical part of the raison d’etre of RR. The convenience of your comments marbled into these comment streams allows other readers to have ready confirmation of the worldview promoted here. So please stay.

    So disappointed in Steve……trapped in the 90’s……where’s the accusation of “transphobia”, “homophobia” What are his personal pronouns? He tosses in “anti-semite” but only in defense of SPLC AKA “Kool Mo Dees Shakedown Squad and Old Black Lady Scaring Team”! But…..hey…..props to him for doing so could an SBC even exist with the progressive direct mail revenue model? Gratitude is so rare these days!
    A word of caution Steve…..Kool Mo was given the bums rush for personnel policies not entirely unfamiliar to the SBC.

    “But nothing was more uncomfortable than the racial dynamic that quickly became apparent: a fair number of what was then about a hundred employees were African-American, but almost all of them were administrative and support staff—“the help,” one of my black colleagues said pointedly. The “professional staff”—the lawyers, researchers, educators, public-relations officers, and fund-raisers—were almost exclusively white. Just two staffers, including me, were openly gay.”

    I has occurred to me that the Steele Dossier, the Russian Hoax, the Mueller Report, the IG Report, and Ukraine all fall under the same topic. They all are one and the same; to get rid of Trump. It’s all under the BIG LIE and one story is just a continuation of the another. Thus…..not a tossed salad, but a steel
    ——————
    From the IG Report and McCain’s own words.
    “The IG report also verifies that a McCain aid obtained the Steele reports directly from Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, meaning that when McCain transferred the anti-Trump charges to Comey he had to have known that the material originated with a firm that specializes in controversial opposition tactics.
    Fusion GPS was paid for its anti-Trump work by Trump’s primary political opponents, namely Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.
    States the IG report:
    Several weeks later, on December 9, 2016, Senator John McCain provided Comney with a collection of 16 Steele election reports, 5 of which Steele had not given the FBI. McCain had obtained these reports from a staff member at the McCain Institute. The McCain Institute staff member had met with Steele and later acquired the reports from Simpson.
    The unnamed McCain staff member is known to be David J. Kramer, who also infamously provided BuzzFeed with the Steele dossier.”
    “In his book published last year, McCain maintained he had an “obligation” to pass the dossier charges against Trump to Comey and he would even do it again. “Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,” McCain exclaimed.”

    A look Down Under: Campus Rape
    “But the major breakthrough came when the Queensland Supreme Court decision in November determined that universities have no jurisdiction to adjudicate sexual assault. This landmark case involved a University of Queensland medical student who was accused of sexual assault by another student. Wendy Mulcahy, the lawyer for the accused student, took the matter to the Supreme Court arguing that UQ did not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate such matters. In her judgement, Justice Ann Lyons concluded that universities are only entitled to make decisions in sexual assault cases which have been proved in criminal court.”…..

    “Earlier this year, a university administrator admitted in private correspondence with a student representative that his university had assumed they might still proceed with a misconduct hearing to determine the guilt of the perpetrator even if the accused had been found not guilty in criminal court. The reason? The university had a lower standard of proof, he said. That’s the point of this whole exercise—to use “victim-centred” justice to ensure more rape convictions. Feminists are angry that juries so rarely convict young men in he-said, she-said date rape situations, and “believe-the-victim” campus investigations make securing a conviction much easier.
    That was widely acknowledged as the goal in 2011 when President Obama required all publicly funded universities to establish tribunals to adjudicate rape on campus. This led to over 200 successful lawsuits against universities for failing to protect the due process rights of the accused —rights the Trump administration is now seeking to restore. Given that recent history, it is extraordinary that our higher education sector has allowed itself to be led down the same path. Universities Australia has just commissioned a new survey on sexual assault intended to cook up more impressive rape statistics after the failure of the AHRC to produce the desired results.
    It’s a relief to see a few shots finally fired across the bow of this misbegotten enterprise, and hopefully there are more to come.”

    Time to be able to reach out and touch the chi coms –
    The significance of this decision for the strategic competition with China cannot be overstated. Because China was never a party to the treaty, and steadfastly refused to be brought into the treaty, it was free to deploy intermediate-range ballistic and cruise missiles.
    Related: Pentagon Test-Fires 2nd INF-Banned Missile
    And it took advantage of that freedom, deploying thousands of such weapons. As then-U.S. Navy Adm. “Harry” Harris answered a question from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, “I think that we are at a disadvantage with regard to China today, in the sense that China has ground-based ballistic missiles that threaten our basing in the western Pacific and our ships. They have ground-based ballistic anti-ship missiles. And we have nothing — we have no ground-based capability that can threaten China.”
    Trump’s withdrawal from the treaty presents the United States the opportunity to regain the advantage. Just as the PLA Rocket force holds U.S. bases, assets, and allies at risk of attack, conventional ground-based theater-range missiles owned and operated by the United States or Japan, or a combination of both, would hold enemy targets at risk. This would help U.S. forces, mainly from the sea and air, operate in areas increasingly covered by PLA missiles.
