piece of racist white-trash! I’m so honored to be just a small part of your posse, Erick.It’s just awesome to be named the enemy by such a disgruntled bunch of lefties, isn’t it? No matter what else happens, you’ll always have this moment, won’t you, Erick.

This is a proud moment for RedState They hate you! They really hate you! Yayyyyy!!!

Erick, Erick, doesn’t the SPLC ever run out of strawmen and people to put on its Enemies List?

Wait: Erick — Man, I know you’ve been pulling MY puppet strings all this time. I’m going to need completely new rigging after all the times you’ve …

blahblahblahblah.

I guess the SPLC has cracked the code! They’re *geniuses.*

Erick, I hereby dedicate this song to you and the SPLC. First the SPLC pulled my strings and then I fell into your nefarious clutches!

I’m doomed.

That makes you Prisoner #5 in the Camps!

Nice thing about low numbers is that the tattoo is smaler and thus less painful. Plus, you’ll get first pick as to hut and bunk!

Sadly, I have yet to be noticed sufficient to even warrant a number! (though my BeJohnGalt website may eventually get me one! )

I got “radicalized” early by Paine, Jefferson, Franklin and other RightWing “loons”…so my re-education may be lng and painful.

Congrats again! Enjoy the spotlight!

p.s. know the difference between “spotlights” and “searchlights”? Trick question…there isn’t one!

They list Sean Hannity, Chuck Norris, Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, and me as examples of prominent voices on the right stirring up the next generation of Timothy McVeigh’s.

Look at the violence that you’re perpetuating on that poor, helpless sentence with the vicious insertion of an apostrophe.

I judge.

Eric on reaching such a pinnacle. I hope we can all be classed as associate members of such an elite cadre?

Southern Poverty Law (filled to the brim w/lazy hacks) Center to tell us that YOU sir have arrived. WE knew it a lonnnnnnnnnng time ago

a number you have a name.

This sad state of affairs is neatly summed up by Dinesh D’Souza:

“Publicly inconsolable about the fact that racism continues, these activists seem privately terrified that it has abated.”

Or, in the pop culture vernacular, the SPLC needs to get a friggin’ life.

Shame on you! I know for a fact at least 2 members of this site, your followers, attended this debacle. I hope you’re proud.

/snark off

I sure am! Keep up the good work, bro, and congratulations. It’s an honor to be counted among the likes of Sean Hannity, Chuck Norris, Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, Rush, et. al.

just goes to show what we have done so far……..WE NEED MORE OF THIS!

Obama should be very afraid because in just over 13 months from now I am going to be sitting in my parked car at 6:59AM on Election Day waiting for my polling station to open salivating over the prospect of voting a straight ticket, and it isn’t going to break Obama’s way.

Erick Erickson can slam a revolving door.

Being fingered by the KKK’s legal wing is something to crow about?

They are nothing more than two guys and their dog p operating out of their garage. They just pop out, like Jimmy ‘closet segregationist’ Carter when they think they can help.

I used to read their magazine as it was part of the set of “research” sources our police department used to identify threats. It didn’t take long for me to realize they were bigoted and biased towards the right side of the spectrum. Sadly, they hold some sway in the argument because of their history.

Their bias and their inaccuracy convinced me early on they were useless as a source for identifying hate groups. Here is the map they use to list their discoveries.

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp#s=CO

Pick a state and see how many non-white groups are listed. Outside repeating the Nation of Islam a couple of times, there aren’t many. How is that? No Cuban gangs (drugs, guns, human trafficking, terrorism). No Hispanic gangs, outside one listed as anti-black in a recent article. No blacks, outside the Nation of Islam. And no CAIR or other organizations that have shown a desire to fund terrorism.

For fun I looked in Ill. and PA. to see if Jeremiah Wright made it or the NBP’s voter assistance program was mentioned. Sure enough the NBP is listed. A quick search of articles in their database showed some mention but I couldn’t find anything much past 2003. Hmmm….

They are as useful as the official sounding groups that tell us we can’t eat salt, our kids are being raised wrong and the world is going to end if we don’t stop using fossil fuel. It gives the MSM a good sound bite and headline to start their 2 minute diatribe against their favorite target. I can see it now. “With websites like Redstate and others, it will be only a matter of time until dead bodies with “Fed” written on them will be strewn across the land” says representative of SPLC.”

Yeah, right. I will say the same thing I did when I was working in the anti-gang unit. “Do me a favor, try to find a real bad guy and get back with me.”

We should add this date to our calendars and celebrate it every year..

this what Dee’s former law partner had to say about him:

“He’s the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement,” renowned anti- death-penalty lawyer Millard Farmer says of Dees, his former associate, “though I don!t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye.”

Although I must admit that this is much kinder to Morris Dee’s that what Mrs. Dee’s had to say here:

“Not One Red Dime for the NRSC or NRCC till they stop trying to elect liberals”

Join the RedState Strike Force

Who are the other three guys?

A man is known by the company he keeps and the enemies he makes. You’ve done well on both accounts.

Right up there with Chuck Norris:

They once made a Eric Erickson toilet paper, but it wouldn’t take s**t from anybody.

Eric Erickson does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Eric Erickson goes killing.

Eric Erickson knows where Carmen Sandiego is.

-Congrats!

In their view, everybody should be equal (but probably with “the downtrodden” being more equal).

Therefore, we need to petition the SPLC to add ALL our names to their list, or better yet, hold some tea parties at their headquarters demanding they redistribute the listings for equality.

Hey, I think I heard something like that before, but I’m not sure where. Wasn’t about any list of names though. Oh well……

Congratulations, Erick !

You deserve every bit of it. There are few blogs out there with the prestige of RedState. I feel honored to even be allowed in this august company.

While it is true that primarily white people purchased slaves in the south AFTER the slaves were brought here on a ship. Largely through tribal warfare (winners sold losers into bondage to black and white sellers). It is largely through the efforts of white people following principles of Christianity and the US Constitution that they were freed. The Civil War was about money, not slavery. The north wanted cheap cotton. The south was selling it to England for a higher price. The north said they were coming to free the slaves, but the truth is slavery was declining and the real problem was getting cheaper goods. Suppose, if black tribes (the winners) just killed the loosers or they escaped and remained, in say, South Africa. Their ancestors might today be living in those corrogated tin shacks or their DNA may well have been stamped out all together. It is too bad that many in the black leadership continue to rail against whites fomenting hatred thus preventing unity of all Americans. Many intelligent blacks understand that it is from the US Constitution that all persons gain individual freedom and support the New Tea Party movement.

Finally, after being shut down for over 40 years, true Americans have the momentum to push our country forward based on the principals of our founding Constitution, beliefs and rights. We need to keep it going forward.

This is America, not Africa. Is there an organization that will support sending Africans back to Africa? African Americans don’t live here anymore… just true Americans.

I’m against those, black and white, that want to destroy our heritage and our country.

Keep up the Great work Erick

Congratulations Erick! I just found this site awhile back, but I am honored to be reading such “right wing propaganda” as this!

It is certainly a mark of prestige to be singled out by the SPLC. Since they been looking for a reason to exist for the past few decades, I guess becoming a typical Lefty bleeding-heart “social justice” organization is really just the next step for them.

To be honest, I am a little jealous. Given the country’s political climate these days, it is a badge of honor to be labeled as a “right-wing extremist” by any of these Progressive types. Now, you will have REALLY arrived when your name is on a DHS watch list.

What was that line from TJ about when the government fears the people…?

Great job, Erick!

Maybe now that you’re in the club with Chuck, you can see about his launching the SPLC to Mars with a flick of the big toe?

Being blacklisted by an anti-freedom group like SPLC is a good sign indeed.

Wear it like a badge of honor. Kind of like if you’re a judge, you’re not a true conservative unless (formerly)Ralph Neas at PFAW have you on their hit list.

When you can get on the bad side of that kind of evil, you’re doing a great job!
