I am sure they appreciate it, they only have 320 million in assets including 69 million in overseas tax havens.
Keep a ball and glove in there too. Your lawyer will thank you.
By all means, donate to the SPLC. Morris Dees needs a new swimming pool and another yacht.
Seriously, the Nazis are about as big a threat to the modern US as the Apaches or the Comanche.
To be fair the Nazis were only responsible for half of the 65 million deaths on that list, the rest were because of Imperial Japan and saying Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany were equally wrong even in these parts will get you some very angry responses.
Remind us all which group organizes unite the alt-right marches and shouts anti-semitic slogans.
How many millions of Nazis were at Charlottesville?
I mean, how many thousands?
Er, hundreds?
I mean, this rally was a BIG deal to the alt-right. The turnout was ergo ENORMOUS.
Right?
Let’s be precise. At the end of fiscal year 2015 the Southern Poverty Law Center had net assets of $328,395,092 according to their IRS Form 990 filing. This is not some kindof big secret or conspiracy; this is what is known as an endowment, money that is used as investment capital and to sustain it through downturns in charitable donation (due to changes in tax law, such as those the GOP is currently attempting to ramrod through Congress) and in times when increased spending is required. The SPLC has maintained a sizeable endowment since 1974, and while their officers are all paid six figure salaries, they are hardly out of line with what other 503(c) organizations of comparable size pay C-level officers. Charity Navigator gives them high ratings in accountability & transparency, although less in fiscal responsibility.. The only place I can find allegations of the supposed $69M in offshore tax havens is a story repeated across alt-right blogs and newsgroups.
That echos the sentiments of the average German citizen circa 1930. Unfortunately, Nazis did not remain powerless and initiated a global war which devastated not only Germany but all of Europe, plunged Eastern Europe into a four and a half decade long subservience to the Soviet Union, and was generally a bad time had by all involved, not to mention the approximately 20 million people who died in World War II. The hate-rousing neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and white nationalists who demonstrated in Charlottesville and elsewhere have gained attention far out or proportion with their numbers and act to inspire others to hatred and fear, while the president that they have endorsed continues to gainsay and and undermine fundamental institutions of democracy and vital government functions by disputing factual reporting with baseless conspiracy theories, insisting that the election that he won was fraudulent, and appointing cabinet members and heads of agencies with people committed to dismantling those agencies from the inside without legislative consent. The violently cartoonish assrabbits screaming in hate and anger may not be the ultimate problem, but given free reign and tacit approval by the highest authority in the nation inspires others toward hatred and disregard for the rights of others, and that may be the greatest threat; it is certainly more than that posed by fundamentalist Islamic terror or undocumented immigrants.

You could donate to the USC Shoah Foundation. They help remind us that the Holocaust was real and that people forgetting that it happened is a real and present danger. I showed the Spielberg’s film “Schindler’s List” at a recent film festival I put on and all of the proceeds from that showing were donated to the Shoah Foundation. They do amazing work every day and need all the financial support they can get.
This is a song Steve Earle wrote to help fundraise for the SPLC. “Mississippi It’s Time” urges the state to remove the confederate flag from its state flag.
Disclosure of the SPLC’s unspecified holdings in Bermuda and the Caymans is readily traceable to a Daily Kos diarist who posted relevant pages of the organization’s tax returns in 2012, as he was attacking from the left.
Really? Please show us some undoctored photos of him wearing a swastika, please.
He said there were good people on the Nazis’/white supremacists’ side. By definition, Nazis and white supremacists are not good people.
I’m pretty sure I never mentioned he wore a swastika. Words speak just as loudly.
Pretty amusing, you demanding photographic proof.
Near as I can tell, the last persons killed by Apaches died 131 years ago (1886).
The last person killed by Nazis died less than four months ago.
Are you saying that the only evidence that someone is a Nazi is whether or not they wear a swastika?
More than one.
To be completely honest, he’s really saying that even if there was a photo he’d claim it was doctored.
OP, there’s always the Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC.
I mean, if we’re going by that definition that last person killed by Apaches died last month in a murder-robbery.
This. A million times.
Since the French resistance was really bad a fighting Nazis, I’d keep my money (if they were still alive).
Most of their help after D-Day, but the ides of the Resisntance being a great deal against the Nazis is exagerated.
They were also, many of them, vile communists ready to shoot anyone they deemed a collaborator.
They also killed three times as many people and enslaved more nations for more time.
Is the US in 2017 even remotely compared to 1930 Germany? Is the US coming out of a terrible defeat á la WWI and the Hyperinflation? Is there a real threat of a communist takeover of the government such that make fascism a less unpalatable option?
Also, poor Soviets, they were forced to oppress Eastern Europe because of Hitler. What a joke.
He didn’t say that. He said good people were marching, they were the majority.
The tiki-torch loser-gang is a minority.
Unless, in a goose-gander thingy, whenever the left/Occupy/BLM marches and the Hammer-and-sickle guys come and the Che Guevara t-shirts appear you accept that they are communists and should take the blame for Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Pol Pot.
Really, this whole “Trump’s a Nazi” beggars belief and can only come from deep ignorance of what Nazi/Fascist means and also a clear softer spot for communism.
Somewhat facetious, but:
I like “donating” to my local gun store.
Baseball bats are all fine and well, but you have to bring a personal level of hatred to the game to choose that as your Weapon of Choice. Not to mention a certain level of physical development/capability, and I’m hardly “The Bear Jew.” Or even Jewish! :rolleyes:
On a more local level, various organizations can help, keeping its members informed of local Nazi doings.
Bull. Fucking. Shit.
He said there were good people on both sides. One of those sides were the Nazis/white supremacists.
Fine I’ll call him a commie. I’ll call him anything that makes it clears he lines up on the side with and walks the same path as other dictatorial, authoritarian thugs.
