Bob Unruh joined WND in 2006 after nearly three decades with the Associated Press, as well as several Upper Midwest newspapers, where he covered everything from legislative battles and sports to tornadoes and homicidal survivalists. He is also a photographer whose scenic work has been used commercially.

A website called SafeHome.org, which analyzes home-security systems for consumers, has released a new politically correct report on the presence of “hate” online, specifically on Twitter.

“Their presence online is growing,” the site warns. “We studied these Twitter accounts to understand not just how hateful sentiment has evolved over the years, but also in which states these comments originate.”
But there’s a problem.
SafeHome.org confesses it took the definition of “hate” groups from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which itself has been called a “hate” group. SPLC applies the label to individuals and groups that disagree with its pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and pro-liberal agenda.
That’s why it includes the conservative Family Research Council on its list, alongside the American Nazi Party.
And the traditional-marriage-supporting American Family Association alongside the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
And the conservative Liberty Counsel with the New Black Panther Party.
And ACT for America alongside the Nation of Islam.
And Most Holy Family Monastery alongside Westboro Baptist Church.
It was commentator John Stossel, in a WND column, who turned SPLC’s labeling of Christians against the group itself.
“SPLC once fought useful fights. They took on the Ku Klux Klan. But now they go after people on the right with whom they disagree,” he wrote. “They call the Family Research Council a hate group because it says gay men are more likely to sexually abuse children. That’s their belief. There is some evidence that supports it. Do they belong on a ‘hate map,’ like the Ku Klux Klan, because they believe that evidence and worry about it?
“I often disagree with the council, but calling them a hate group is unfair. In my YouTube video this week, the group’s vice president, Jerry Boykin, tells me, ‘I don’t hate gay people. And I know gay people, and I have worked with gay people.'”
Stossel noted that groups tagged with the “hate group” label become a target, noting the attack on the headquarters of the Family Research Council by Floyd Corkins, who told investigators he chose FRC because of SPLC’s list.
