It’s about time someone did this. The New Tolerance Campaign did it. It seems to be inspired, in part, by the SPLC’s hate map. Professor Jacobson is mentioned in the piece, too.
The New York Post reports:
Violent leftist hate has been ignored for too long — new map calls it outThe bullet that whizzed through the ear of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Penn., on July 13 was fired by a shooter with apparently leftist sympathies.The man who opened fire on Republicans practicing for the Congressional baseball game and nearly took House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s life in 2017 campaigned for Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders.The transgender perpetrator of the 2023 Nashville school shooting, who murdered three 9-year-olds and three adults at the Presbyterian Covenant School, held a deep hatred for Christianity and said she would “kill” to get puberty blockers.These aren’t one-off events.A through-line unites all three harrowing incidents as well as hundreds of others: All emerged amid the extremist hate fomented by America’s progressive left.One could be forgiven for not making the connection…It’s a sad decline and a far cry from the SPLC’s message at the time of its 1971 founding, when it formed to rightfully condemn legitimately hateful domestic terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan.“Time and again, I see the SPLC using the reputation it gained decades ago fighting the Klan as a tool to bludgeon mainstream politically conservative opponents,” Cornell professor and SPLC critic William Jacobson told Politico in 2017.In fact, in all its history, the SPLC has never put a left-wing group on its Hate Map.Such an abdication of duty and abandonment of mission isn’t just dishonest; it’s dangerous.
