(1) Leon Drolet - I chaired an organization listed by the Southern...
Leon Drolet shared WSJ Opinion's post.
"I chaired an organization listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the 1990s as a "hate group" when I helped lead a group called the Macomb Coalition of Republicans. 
The basis for our "hate" listing was we organized a several peaceful rallies in support of the 2nd Amendment in response to Bill Clinton's gun bans.
The SPLC profits when it reports as much "hate" as possible and their highly partisan donors are exactly that - highly partisan. 
I wish there existed a credible, reputable organization that took their mission seriously but the SPLC is not that.
While the SPLC rightly condemns groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Westboro Baptist Church and New Black Panther Party, it has managed to blur the lines, besmirching mainstream groups like the FRC, as well as people such as social scientist Charles Murray and Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a critic of Islamic extremism, writes Jeryl Bier.
Its branding of ‘hate groups’ and individuals is biased, sometimes false—and feeds polarization.
