Could Sowal provide a list or link to similar sites like AFA? It would be very unfortunate if Sowal was using an activist group’s list, like say Southern Poverty Law Center. (SPLC)
These shameful secrets are no longer hidden in shadows.
The New York Times,
Politico,
NPR and a host of other mainstream publications are reporting on the corruption and widening credibility gap. The SPLC
dismissed its co-founder in March, and its president
has resigned amidst numerous claims of
sexual harassment, gender discrimination and racism within the organization — a parade of disgraces that vividly force the conclusion: The SPLC is hollow, rotten and failing at the very virtues it pretends to celebrate.
The criticism comes from many corners. There’s the
Current Affairs editor who seems sympathetic to the center’s progressive mission but decries its “hate group” list as an “outright fraud” and a “willful deception designed to scare older liberals into writing checks to the SPLC.”
There’s the
retired investigative journalist who helped research and write an eight-part series on the center’s “litany of problems and questionable practices” in the
mid-1990s. His Washington Post opinion piece reads with a thinly veiled message: We nearly got a Pulitzer Prize for TELLING YOU SO.
But perhaps most damning of all are the indictments leveled by former employee Bob Moser in
The New Yorker. He remembers being welcomed to the “Poverty Palace” and recounts the heart-sinking reality of it all — being “pawns” in a “highly profitable scam.”
