In a report on its web site dated April 2010, entitled "Meet The Patriots," the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) profiled "36 individuals at the heart of the resurgent [patriot] movement." (In reading the list, I counted only 35 "patriots" and 5 "enablers" for a total of 40. I'm not really sure how the SPLC came up with "36." Perhaps their ability to count is commensurate with their ability to appreciate patriotism and liberty.)

37. Glenn Beck
39. Andrew Napolitano
40. Ron Paul

It's all junk. This list is worthless.

The SPLC has 0 credibility.

Written by the #1 man on the list! This guy called Bush and Cheney too liberal and he sympathizes with the guy who ran his airplane into the IRS building.

Oh, yes, let me read what HE has to say!

It looks like the common denominator amongst their picks is anti-globalism. Just why is the SPLC so hot for a one-world government is the question of the day.

Did anyone actually go read the SPLC document? It can be found

Their so-called "'Patriot' Movement Timeline" on page 6 was truly awful---one extremist example after another. More paint on the brush being used to color anyone who believes in limited government, states rights, etc etc as at best fringe lunatics and at worst as domestic terrorists. Does this kind of stuff really influence public perception?
