    The SPLC is a racist hate group. They really are.

    I have some good friends who spent time with SPLC - this could not be further from the truth and it's one of the few orgs that I donate money to on a regular basis.

    What is your experience with SPLC, are you a member of the Aryan Nations or the other white nationalists they maintain a database on? Or you're just a soft opponent. I wonder what side of the firehose you'd have been on in the 60's, tee hee ;)

    Orwellian double speak ramps up to new levels of absurdity, now with Mojo going full 1984 on the SPLC. SMDH.

    Calling the SPLC a hate group is like calling the Rockets a title contender and the NBA's top defensive team, but even more absurd.

    It would be delightful if the GOP ended up with a Cruz/Christie ticket. The leaders of the Democratic Party would be thrilled. I would be thrilled. Cruz/Christie would be hammered at the polls - for the loss.

    My guess is that Rubio is hoping to leverage his delegates to obtain a job and help Cruz get the nomination, if Rubio's delegates followed Marco's instructions, not certain at all. Marco would do a dance were he offered the VP spot, regardless of what he's saying for public consumption.

    Wow... you really extreme in your views.

    Since you seem to prefer SPC to the SPLC, why don't we look at the SPC?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_Security_Policy

    http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Center_for_Security_Policy

    And SPLC leader and now Ted Cruz advisor, Frank Gaffney:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gaffney

    Since you believe the SPLC is a racist hate group, why don't you provide proof supporting your claim?

    I am not very familiar with Frank Gaffney and am not interested in spending a lot of time researching him or discussing him here, other than to observe that the links that you provided were clearly authored by rigid and near-hysterical defenders of the Democrat left's 'political correctness' agenda.

    In fact, these wikipedia articles read remarkably like something that one of the screeching 'politically correct' leftist hammerheads here in this forum to write. I honestly would not be surprised to discover that one of you DID write these clearly one-sided and not very thoughtful articles. In fact these articles should serve as a testimony to the thoughtlessness of the Democrat left's 'political correctness' agenda.

    'Radical Islamic terrorists are actively conspiring in an effort to kill American citizens.'​

    When I hear Barack Obama and other leaders of the Democrat left unapologetically recognize this publicly and on an ongoing basis, then at that point, you folks will begin to have enough credibility on this subject to warrant me taking a dialogue with you on this subject seriously.

    Interesting approach to defending Frank Gaffney, Ted Cruz's selection for advisor.

    Thanks for playing. Johnny, what lovely parting gift do we have for mojoman?

    Hahaha. Yes, thank you for illustrating my point. That is not too far off of the level of thoughtfulness that went into crafting the Wikipedia articles you quoted.

    So now I am curious. Did you author those articles yourself, NRF?

    Prove what point... that you have no idea as to the background of Cruz's advisor? Or is your point you do know, and don't care, since the beliefs mirror your own?

    Funny you should attempt to defend your position by belittling wikipedia. Seems the wiki page has a number of article citations. I must have been busy writing them all...

    Look at Mojo bearing false witness. Shameful behavior.

    In a thread full of idiotic posts this is number one with a bullet. Kudos.

    I heard Mr. Rogers is a white supremacist too.

    I mean, this is what earns the right a bad name. You mock people like MojoMan for this kind of thinking, and people say you are a stuck-up liberal who is dismissive towards conservative views.

    But what do you do when people have these kinds of views??? That are not just misguided but based on no evidence at all? You have to wonder if prejudice plays a role.
