Mark Potok: Hatemonger
by John Perazzo https://www.legal-project.org/2894/mark-potok-hatemonger Excerpt: In the wake of the recent murder of six worshippers in a Sikh temple outside of Milwaukee, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported that the killer, 40-year-old Wade Michael Page, was "a frustrated neo-Nazi" as well as a musician who had performed with two "racist skinhead bands." Moreover, SPLC said that it had been listing the website of "Label56"—the distributor of albums produced by one of Page's bands—as a "hate site" since 2006 "due to its active promotion and distribution of racist hate music." In the final analysis, Page and his cohorts were on SPLC's radar because that organization classifies Page's brand of hate-filled stupidity as a form of "right wing" thinking, which it views, in turn, as the principal fountainhead of America's allegedly persistent bigotry against nonwhites, homosexuals, and Muslims, among others. To be sure, the "HateWatch" section of SPLC's website carries the caption, "Keeping an Eye on the Radical Right." The Radical Left gets no mention at all.
