Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, April 22, 2026

Southern Poverty Law Center's interim CEO Bryan Fair claimed in a Tuesday video that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the organization and possibly preparing criminal charges. "Although we don't know all the details," Fair said in a video posted to the organization's YouTube account, "the focus appears to be on the SPLC's prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups."

When you attack the messenger, it means you have no good argument.

But here are some from your liberal sources.

The current Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs website is a 'liberal source'? LOL!

Re: #2

Meanwhile, from the 'liberal source' you cited (www.justice.gov):

"A conviction will result in the forfeiture of financial gains from the alleged illegal activities.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement in Washington.

The details contained in the civil forfeiture complaint are allegations only."

To paraphrase your comment:
When you don't read your cited source, it means you have no good argument.

FBI Director Kash Patel aka J Edgar Boozer

The DOJ press release says FBI Director Kash Patel alleged the funds were used in ways that had extremist groups "facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes," and it says the indictment accuses SPLC of "manufacturing racism to justify its existence." In other words, they "used donor money to pay KKK to stage fake hate crimes" apparently to divide communities and especially cause hate within black people.

It's always been the Democrats..

BREAKING: Kash Patel is reportedly threatening to sue anyone who calls him "J. Edgar Boozer."

- manufacturing racism

Laughable... as if racism needs to be manufactured among the Nazis the SPLC exposes.

This is just more political pandering to the Republican white nationalist racist Base... plus their field hands like Boaz.

Of course it is.

Current speculation is that Trump sees the writing on the wall and wants to do as much damage as he can in the next seven months.

Let's face it, without liberals in the world, BOAZ would have no one to help him prop up his own superficial and distorted self-image.

How many criminal charges has the Trump DOJ filed that have been laughed out of court?

Patel's definition of "pleading the fifth" is when he breaks down and rolls around on the ground pleading for a fifth of Dewar's to suppress his AM delirium tremors.

You don't understand do you? The owner of the Atlantic is a major donor to the SPLC.

You see the connection yet? No? Well then you're an idiot.

CorkyDaIdiot can't read.

They were paying the NAZI's to manufacture it, seriously telling them to call the ProudBoys to attend Charlotsville.
So idiots like QCP would donate. How about not paying NAZI's for a START!

This was Smolleting at an industrial scale.

You can't make up how stupid this makes all your arguments about "racist" and WhiteSupremacist" in America.

You get told over and over its all grift and you still can't understand it.

Correct.

But we all know there is no racism. Gotta make it up where it doesnt exist.

If he posted in Mandarin, he might make more sense... naw.

Blacks are lazy, that's why they're poorer than whites.
Blacks are more violent, that's why they're in prison more than whites.
Blacks are more lazy, more violent, more unfaithful in marriage, more likely to kill black babies in the womb.
That's not racism, that's just the way Blacks are.
Signed,
Boaz

The "Justice" Dept seems to think only they are allowed to pay informants.
I suspect this has more to do with protecting friends than prosecuting malfeasance.

Outliers? SPLC paid an organizer of UniteTheRight, that cajoled and posted racists things, then actually organized transportation to the event.

You're pretty much dragging bottom, not unlike LegallyDead; attacking posters and avoiding the guilt of actual NAZI funders.
