"The Southern Poverty Law Center, aka the SPLC, has published a list of what they call “Terror from the Right” that categorizes two Islamic terror attacks—including the deadly assault on Orlando’s Pulse nightclub that left 49 dead and the Black Lives Matter-inspired murders of police officers in Baton Rouge and Dallas—as “radical-right terrorist plots.”
The motive for the SLPC’s bizarre definition of the political right remains unclear, but the list of the “stories of plots, conspiracies and racist rampages since 1995 — plots and violence waged against a democratic America” includes a section on the Orlando attack...
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a go-to source for mainstream media reporting stories about “hate.” A media outlet linking to the SLPC “Terror from the Right” could easily cite the list in an article without revealing to their audience that list included murders by Muslims and Black Lives Matter advocates, creating the illusion that dozens of deaths attributed to the “right” was much higher than it is in reality.
