The article reports:<\/p>\n

During Wednesday\u2019s House subcommittee tech hearing, Rep. Matt Gaetz<\/a> (R-FL) questioned<\/a> Amazon\u2019s usage of the radical Southern Poverty Law Center to deem eligible charities for donations, Amazon<\/a> CEO Jeff Bezos said he would look to alternative options.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gaetz layed out a list of charities that focus on Christian and Jewish<\/a> causes as charities unjustly labeled as \u201cextremists\u201d by the SPLC \u2014 to which Bezos said he accepts Gaetz\u2019s criticism and \u201cwould like a better source if I can get it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the groups unjustly labeled as a hate group by the SPLC is the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal group focused on defending religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and free speech. Their cases have included defending Jack Phillips<\/a>, the Colorado baker sued for sticking to his religious beliefs.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

In case you have forgotten, the Southern Poverty Law Center has not been a sterling influence.<\/p>\n

On February 6, 2013, The Washington Examiner<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he Family Research Council shooter, who pleaded guilty<\/a> today to a terrorism charge, picked his target off a “hate map” on the website of the ultra-liberal Southern Poverty Law Center which is upset with the conservative group’s opposition to gay rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Floyd Lee Corkins II pleaded guilty<\/a> to three charges including a charge of committing an act of terrorism related to the August 15, 2012 injuring of FRC’s guard. He told the FBI that he wanted to kill anti-gay targets and went to the law center’s website for ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a court hearing where his comments to the FBI were revealed, he said that he intended to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” The shooting occurred after an executive with Chick-Fil-A announced his support for traditional marriage, angering same-sex marriage proponents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the Southern Poverty Law Center labels any group that stands for traditional values, traditional marriage, and any other ideas that do not fit the liberal agenda as a hate group. Using them as a guide to determine which charities are acceptable is like using the Ku Klux Klan as an arbitrator in a civil rights case.<\/p>\n
