A conservative free-market group hopes to convince Amazon, the world’s largest retailer, not to rely on the Southern Poverty Law Center as a gatekeeper for its philanthropic giving.
The scandal-plagued SPLC, a left-wing advocacy organization, routinely labels mainstream center-right organizations as “hate groups” on a list that includes actual hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazis.
“Amazon likes to inoculate themselves from criticism. That’s what our proposal is trying to do is pierce that inoculation,” Justin Danhof, director of the Free Enterprise Project at the National Center for Public Policy Research, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview.

I'm afraid Justin is pissing into the wind. Amazon is as bad as SPLC.
ReplyDeleteI see hatred an an integral part of today's progressives. The painting of any right center organization with the same brush used for real KKK or nazi's isn't out of line. Though the difference is huge to me it's irrelevant to many people I know and I'm sure it's not important to Bezos.
Delete(1) The National Center for Public Policy Research is next on SPLC’s racist list; (2) Amazon says its policies “are intended to foster diversity” and etc. Amazon should place results at least on the same level as intent, if not on a rung higher. Amazon is using the same argument as the popular non-apology: “I am sorry that you were offended by what I said.”
