Opinion: John Stossel: The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group itself
“More than my entire annual budget,” Morse says. “So yeah, whatever they’re doing — it pays.”
It sure does. Harper’s Magazine once reported that the center was the richest civil rights group in America, one that spends most of its time and energy trying to raise more money. They promised they’d stop fundraising once their endowment reached $55 million. But when they reached $55 million, they raised their goal to $100 million, saying $100 million would allow them to “cease costly fundraising.”
But when they reached $100 million — they didn’t cease. They collected $200 million. Then $400 million. Now they have $730 million.
