The Southern Poverty Law Center has had a pretty nice week, getting $1 million from George and Amal Clooney and another $1 million from Apple in the wake of the Charlottesville riots. And from JP Morgan, another $1 million.
But it appears that some of that money may need to go for a legal defense fund now that a conservative Christian organization is suing itfor including its name on a hate group list (and on a hate map pictured above). And not only that, but a Muslim is suing the SPLC as well.
What’s amazing isn’t so much the lawsuit from the Christians, which isn’t unexpected. It’s how, more than 24 hours since the story broke, mainstream media coverage of this story just hasn’t happened. Considering how some of the best-known liberal groups or personages just dumped $3 million on the SPLC quite recently, don’t you think a lawsuit against it would be news?
