The SPLC is quickly becoming like the ADL - a fifth column of the ruling class that uses hyperbole, accusations and guilt by association to give left cover for the war on terror. Leftists don't mind if the federal government's executive branch is using it's unconstitutional PATRIOT act powers to round up the politically incorrect . . . either way a terrorist threat justifies budgets, whether from "foreigners" or "domestics." Cynthia McKinney is smart . . . the more they can play the left off the right in this country, the less chance that there will be some common ground.
