Odds ‘n Sods:

This was posted at Alt-Market.com: A Message To The SPLC From A Montana “Extremist”. It bears special mention that the SPLC‘s slam piece was their oh-so typical blathering, with a mix of fact, innuendo, and myth. They cleverly mixed in mentions of racists and radicals alongside references to level-headed folks, including myself. When they slandered me, they didn’t just use the time-proven “guilt by association” technique. They took it a step further and employed guilt by lack of association. They also slandered Pastor Chuck Baldwin, up in Montana as well as Stewart Rhodes, the head of The Oath Keepers. I’ve made it abundantly clear many times that I’m an anti-racist, yet the SPLC slandered my name by listing me with contiguity to the Aryan Nations and neo-Nazis. Obviously, they either missed reading my Precepts page, or they conveniently ignored it. Once again, I state forthrightly: I am an anti-racist and pro-Israel. I find it ironic that I’m hated by both the SPLC and by racists.
