Morris Dees, founder and president of the Southern Poverty Law Center, is a Democrat who notoriously started his $190 million organization with the donor list from the 1972 McGovern campaign, for which he served as chief fundraiser.
A listing of Dees’ political contributions since 1979 — going back to the Jimmy Carter re-election campaign — shows that he had only ever given money to Democrats. Until last year, that is, when he gave $250 to the GOP primary campaign of Martha Roby, who’s running for Congress in Alabama’s 2nd District.
The 2nd District GOP campaign — which I covered in February, reporting on Tea Party-backed candidate Rick Barber — is now a four-way race, with Stephanie Bell and John Bowling “Bo” McKinney joining the field of Republicans seeking the nomination in the June 1 primary to take on “Blue Dog” Democratic Rep. Bobby Bright in November.
It’s a very conservative district, and the Barber campaign today cried foul over a false accusation that their candidate favored the “Value Added Tax.” (He’s always supported the Fair Tax.) As damaging as such an accusation could be in a Republican primary, it might not be as bad as Roby taking $250 from Dees, whose SPLC recently slammed Glenn Beck in a scary report about right-wing extremists.

It's the 2nd district- 5th is Parker Griffith's. All we need is another contentious primary, and Bright wins again. Thanks for stirring the pot!

People in Alabama vote? I thought you had to be literate to vote.*
Oh, sorry, that's a right wing idea from the last century. Never mind. Just make sure they use graphics at the voting booth, at least in whites-only districts, which just as a coincidence happen to vote Republican. Funny how that worked out for you guys.
*The above Elitist Liberal Joke was brought to you by the Committe to Perpetuate Education, a group formed 100 years ago and dedicated to the elitist provision that learning to read results in voting for candidates who favor Medicare, Social Security, reductions in "defense" spending that creates socialist jobs in Republican districts, and other sound. How did we know a hundred years ago that there would be Medicare and Social Security? Good question. We learned it in one of those Progressive Concentration Camps that Woodrow Wilson set up according to Glenn Beck! YAHOO!

Demoncrat trolls have been running in Republican primaries for ages to dilute the conservative vote. When John Armstrong entered the demoncrat primary in Mo 2nd the TV adds exposing his conservative beliefs and portraying him "as not a real Democrat" were incessant. He lost of course. But he paved the way for Todd Akin.
Back in 1970 when I started working full time I met an elevator operator in our office who was an interesting and itinerant colored Gentleman. Having grown up in Alabama he related many experiences about his earlier life and told me he voted for George Wallace. Me being a "liberal" at the time I was incredulous and asked, "for what possible reason?" He told me that, for all his animosity and alleged hate, George Wallace had absolutely no guile and wasn't disingenuous in any way. He went on to say, "the man said what he meant, and I'll take him over some phony s.o.b. any day."
This regime got elected by concealing their true intentions. Should the Republicans retake the Congress, he should be impeached, convicted, and deposed from the office of President for intentionally breaking His Constitutional Oath. If Clinton had been tried for that, he would have been thrown out. Chalk that one up to gutless Rino's.

Morris Dees is a pedophile. If any one takes the SPLC seriously they are nuts.

To deceive a country and topple it's ruling faction then you must cause as much disaster as you can and then employ propaganda to convince the populace that there way has caused this disaster and that your way is the only true way of living and dealing with the problems of their condition. OH yes you must invoke your rule of disarming the populace so no one can defy your demands. If you don't recognize this way of thinking let me enlighten you, it is called COMMUNISM. Look familiar? I may be branded as a conspiracy nut but this is what we were taught to look out for and I now see it in my own country. Before you start blasting me with hate mail stop and take a good look around you today and I bet you will see the things I say are coming true here. These disasters are being engineered just for that purpose (False flag operations) and the unrest between the Americans is just another ploy to take down the Constitution and deprive us of our freedoms. IMPEACH Obama and all his crones before it is too late. Don't employ violence employ the laws of the Constitution and show them we mean to stay a free country and do not want their socialist way of life. If you can't bring yourself to that then vote him out. Remember violence only breads violence and we had a legal system that worked until now. Vote buying is now legal as far as Obama is concerned but let us try that and we will be labeled a traitor and a violator of the Constitution.
Para engañar a un país y derrocarlo está gobernando a facción a continuación, usted debe hacer que como mucho ante desastres como puede y, a continuación, emplea propaganda para convencer a que la población que hay manera ha causado este desastre y su forma es la única verdadera forma de vivir y de tratar con los problemas de su condición. OH sí debe activar la regla de desarmar a la población por lo que nadie puede desafiar a sus exigencias. Si no reconoce esta forma de dejar de pensar que me aclare le, se llama comunismo. ¿Resultarle familiar? Permito se marca como una nuez de conspiración, pero esto es lo que nosotros nos enseñó a tener en cuenta y ahora lo veo en mi propio país. Antes de iniciar la me voladura con parada de correo de odio y tomar un buen aspecto a tu alrededor de hoy y apuesto a que usted verá las cosas que digo vienen verdaderas aquí. Estos desastres están siendo diseñados sólo para ese propósito (operaciones de bandera false) y el malestar entre los estadounidenses es sólo otra estratagema para tomar hacia abajo de la Constitución y nos privan de nuestras libertades. IMPEACH Obama y todos sus Vaes antes de que sea demasiado tarde. No se emplean la violencia emplean las leyes de la Constitución y se les muestran que quiere permanecer en un país libre y no desea que su modo Socialista de vida. Si usted no puede poner usted mismo a esa votación, a continuación, le. Recuerde la violencia sólo panes violencia y teníamos un sistema legal que trabajó hasta ahora. Compra de votación ahora es legal en cuanto se refiere a la Obama pero que intentemos y nos va ser etiquetados un traidor y un violador de la Constitución.

I was at a debate and saw Roby's face when the donation was mentioned. She was shocked and couldn't leave the room fast enough! Aside from her memorized/canned speech, there is nothing substantive about this RHINO. A vote for her is a waste for true conservatives! Say NO to Martha!
