Ultra-Leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center Wants to Interview Vanderboegh and Gets the Smack-down

From time to time I have written about the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, the group that fronts as a legal advocacy group for the poor but is actually an ultra-Leftwing subversive organization.

There is no Leftwing cause that SPLC will not promote. And they regularly malign liberty-and-freedom individuals and groups as a matter of course.

When a spokesman for the group appeared on Fox News' Bill O'Reilly's show several weeks back, he took the opportunity to blast Oath Keepers, accusing them of being a right-wing terrorist outfit that seeks the overthrow of the U.S. Government.

Mike Vanderboegh, for his part, wrote several articles blasting SPLC for such a charge and exposing their many underhanded methods of undercutting freedom-loving individuals and organizations.

It appears the group now wants to interview Vanderboegh.

The last time SPLC did an article on Vanderboegh it turned into a hit piece that ripped the freedom-fighter to shreds.

But Mike himself can tell this story much better than I can. Here is his exchange with SPLC.

Folks,

I learned from WVTM the other day that SPLC is doing another hit piece on me. I had already agreed to do an interview with them to discuss the Southern Preposterous Lie Center when I received this:

To: GeorgeMason1776@aol.com
Sent: Fri, Feb 26, 2010 1:23 pm
Subject: interview request

Mr. Vanderboegh:

I am writing an article about you and the Three Percenters for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report magazine. I wanted to speak to you about the organization and to fact check some details. I won’t need much of your time. I can be reached at the number below during normal business hours.

Thank you for your time,

Jamie Kizzire
Southern Poverty Law Center
(334) 956-8264

I responded, quite reasonably I thought given past history, thusly:

My dear Jamie,

Piss on you lying bastards and the fact-challenged horse you rode in on. What do you need my input for? You scum-suckers have been lying about, eliding and conflating the facts about me and my friends for 15 years now. You do just fine making it up as you go along. Tell the Montgomery castrato, your boss Potok, that the only things I want to talk to you pukes about are:

a.the snitch you had inside Elohim City in 1995 and why he didn't warn us of the ARA plot to blow up the OKC federal building and

b. why you bottom feeders gave political cover in the NYT to those racist pukes in the ATF at the time of the Good O' Boys Roundup by lying about the validity of the Gadsden Minuteman tape.

I'll tell you what. You be awful careful this time about what you write, because -- unlike the 90s or even a few years ago when you dubbed me a "nativist" (as if you knew what that word meant) -- I now have volunteer lawyers who are itching to sue your ass. And I guarantee you, I'll find discovery one hell of a lot more fun than you will. Maybe we'll even finally get to the bottom of the Maureen Bass Dees divorce complaint. In fact, I'll ask for a jury made up of all Civil Rights foot solders. They HATE your lying, thieving, pimping, pasty white asses for sticking like leeches onto their righteous struggle. Southern "Poverty" Law Center indeed.

But by all means, you lying, conflationist bastards, have at it. Just don't expect me to assist you.

Oh, yeah. Thank you in advance for all the free publicity.

Mike Vanderboegh

c: to WVTM (see you Monday for the interview)

Given the nature of the persons he is dealing with, I would say Mike's response is highly appropriate, wouldn't you say?

Codrea: Southern Poverty Law Center Hate-fest

For several years now I have been warning citizens about the so-called 'Southern Poverty Law Center' of Montgomery, Alabama, which is nothing more than a purveyor of hate.

No group has engaged in more race-baiting and outright attacks on American liberty than this group of Leftwing subversives that masquerades as a law firm that helps the poor.

As David Codrea points out he and Vanderboegh were quoted in a major story on the group published by a major online alternative news site.

Go take a look, and stay informed!

Vanderboegh--the CIA Factor and the Obama Administration

If we survive the Obama administration without a civil war, it will be because insiders within the permanent government -- people who remember their oaths or just men and women who are frightened at what might happen to the prospect of their pensions -- used leaks and calculated PR weapons of selective destruction to bring down the players, one by one.

For this reason we should celebrate the Obama Administration's decision to attack the CIA.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 2/17/09

Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Via Matt Drudge, the big news today is that apparently the stock market is not impressed with the massive Obama 'stimulus' bill as stocks took a steep nosedive.

Tam is apparently thoroughly 'stimulated' by this news, but not in a positive way, of course. Did I just formulate a 'triple-entendre?'

Gateway Pundit reports on the Denver citizen protest of the trillion dollar pork package Obama will sign today...complete with a roasted pig provided by Michelle Malkin.

Atlas points to a story in the New York Post today concerning the continually growing scandals surrounding Rahm Emanuel, Obama's White House Chief of Staff. The circle of corruption is beginning to narrow in on the great Barry-O himself.

Mike McCarville presents his periodic 'Gadfly on the Wall' column, this time focusing on the gun grabbers that have crawled out of the woodwork now that Obama is in the White House.

Texas Fred has an interesting take on Senator Gillibrand's statement that she and her husband 'keep two guns under the bed.'

Rev. Kharma also weighs in on the Gillibrand story.

Days of our Trailers reports that while denouncing the salaries, bonuses, and retreats in plush resorts on the part of corporate execs, the members of Congress seemed to forget about their own questionable activity in the midst of economic hard times. Read it all.

Walls of the City says there seems to be a serious disconnect in the mind of Obama concerning the nation's financial matters. In psychiatric circles they call that 'schizophrenia.'

The Rustmeister does some more fisking of the Commercial Appeal--the newspaper that published the names of concealed carry licensees.

Insight on Freedom has an important update on the move by government to silence conservatives on the radio.

Conservative Libertarian Outpost is going section by section through the stimulus bill and says that it is a socialist manifesto from top to bottom, locking in socialism for generations to come.

Western Rifle Shooters Association has two MUST-reads here and here on what is apparently shaping up to be an economic and social collapse within the United States.

Say Uncle reports magnificent news out of Montana. Their House of Representatives passed a bill snubbing federal gun controls. Good for them!

Breda says that tonight is ladies' night on Gun Nuts Radio. Click on the link for details and then listen in!

Sebastian has the response of the Department of Justice to the Brady lawsuit concerning guns in the national parks.

Nicki provides an important read on nationalized healthcare that the Congress-bastards stuck into the stimulus bill.

Ride Fast and Shoot Straight posts 'Never Forget.' You absolutely must see it.

Being one of William F. Buckley Jr.'s original footsoldiers in the Reagan Revolution, I was particularly struck by this post at Pax Parabellum entitled, 'The Difference Between Reagan and Obama.' Take a look!

Roberta X comments on a rather interesting exchange that took place on TV between 3 of our illustrious Congress-beasties.

21 Guns Salute blogs on the Examiners (thank-you, sir), and then has a vital post about gun legislation in Arizona.

John Jacob H posts a video interview with Yuri Bezmenov. Be sure to watch it!

Armed and Safe has an important update on ammo shortages.

Kurt Hofmann's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner column focuses on incorporating the Second Amendment. Read it to find out why this is important.

Codrea's Gun Rights Examiner column focuses on the NRA Director candidate questionnaire.

Mike Vanderboegh will be taking a short break from blogging in order to finish his novel, Absolved. I'm looking forward to the finished product. It is destined to be a classic.

Vanderboegh: What He Learned from the 20th Century

The following is an excerpt from Mike Vanderboegh's 'What I Have Learned from the 20th Century,' dated 1999. Riveting. Absolutely riveting:

LESSON NO. 1: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and take you someplace you do not want to go because of who you are or what you think -- kill him. If you can, kill the politician who sent him. You will likely die anyway, and you will be saving someone else the same fate. For it is a universal truth that the intended victims always far outnumber the tyrant's executioners. Any nation which practices this lesson will quickly run out of executioners and tyrants, or they will run out of it.

LESSON NO. 2: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and confiscate your firearms -- kill him. The disarmament of law-abiding citizens is the required precursor to genocide.

LESSON NO. 3: If a bureaucrat tells you that he must know if you have a firearm so he can put your name on a list for the common good, or wants to issue you an identity card so that you be more easily identified -- tell him to go to hell. Registration of people and firearms is the required precursor to the tyranny which permits genocide. Bureaucrats cannot send soldiers to doors that are not on their list.

Read this entire absolute MUST-read here.

These are words to the wise. So read, ponder, meditate, and then act. Be prepared!

Vanderboegh: How the Enemy Thinks

Mike Vanderboegh has written a piece that deserves its own post today at The Liberty Sphere. The entire title is, 'How the Enemy Thinks (And How They Take Heart Both from Heller and the Pragmatists).'

Friends, this is crucial reading. Here is an excerpt to whet your interest:

For what have we to show for our seven plus decades of increasingly tighter gun laws? Have they limited criminal behavior? No, gun laws by definition are only aimed at the law abiding. Criminals will do what they will. It has recently become popular for criminals to steal AR-15 patrol rifles from police cars. In what way would banning civilians from owning AR-15s prevent that? And if the street gangs are armed with such weapons, why should honest folks be debarred from the same weapons to defend themselves against the gangs?

Understand this, you can pass any "law" you like but we will not obey them. Then you must reconcile yourselves to come to our homes and seize them from us. And sometime after the first few of us die in your confiscatory raids, you will discover another truth taught by history. Read the story of the Deacons for Defense and Justice during the 60s. They would be the first to spit on your proposals. For those black veterans who took up arms against the Klan understood that just because a government was "elected" didn't mean it was fair, or legitimate.

Do yourself a favor and read the entire thing.

Vanderboegh: NRA Losing Its Fire Power

In response to a newspaper writer, Mike Vanderboegh has written a letter suggesting that not only is the NRA losing its firepower, but that this may actually endanger gun-grabbers more than anyone else.

The mode of operation over the last few years on the part of both the NRA and the GOP is cause for some alarm. Too many deals have been cut with too many shady characters who have too many plans to undercut Constitutional rights.

In addition, the Press is going to be in deep trouble is if dares write anything that goes against 'the party line.'

As we all know, those who will throw 2nd Amendment rights under the bus will not think twice about throwing 1st Amendment rights under there as well.

VANDERBOEGH: 2 Items of Interest

Vanderboegh announces a Sipsey Street Irregulars tour, promoting Mike's new novel, Absolved, which is soon to be published.

Click here for the info.

Second, little did I know until I had published the post on Google's manipulation of search engine results that Mike had already done a story on it.

Read Vanderboegh's take on Google's new policy by clicking here.

A First-Hand Account of Sharp Spike in Gun Sales

As anyone who knows something about Alabama can tell you, there is absolutely nothing short of a dire emergency that would interfere with the Alabama-Auburn game, known as 'the Iron Bowl.'

Yet on Saturday something surely did interfere with the game, and it was not a dire emergency. Well, not the type of emergency most of us might think.

A gun show was held at the massive Birmingham-Jefferson County Convention complex on Saturday, at the same time the Alabama-Auburn game was being played just a few short miles down the road in Tuscaloosa.

Normally on the day of the Iron Bowl, central Alabama, which includes Birmingham, is a virtual ghost town. The fans who are not present at the game are at home or at sports bars watching it on TV or listening to it on the radio.

But today, a vast number of those fans were at the gun show. So many, in fact, that it was difficult to get in the door. The lines were long, the tables were crowded, and the guns were flying out the door.

Our fellow gun blogger, Mike Vanderboegh, was there in the middle of the action.

Mike reports that consumers were packed into the arena like sardines in a can. And it was clear from the start that the primary motivating factor for the unprecedented sales of firearms and ammo was the pending Obama administration.

One thing is for sure, if Barack Obama and his gang of thugs are intent on coming after the guns and ammo, they are going to be faced with millions of citizens with arsenals stockpiled in their homes.

This, my friends, is a promise, and the numbers prove it.
III.

Vanderboegh--The World War for Liberty

A world war is underway, and it is not the war on terror, although that is a very important part of it. The real war is the world war for liberty.

And according to Mike Vanderboegh, we are losing that war.

Decade by decade, year by year we gradually lose more of our freedoms to the oppressive arm of big government. And so far, nothing has been able to stop this madness.

There have been brief moments over the past 40 years when we have seen the gradual erosion of rights stop for a season. Ronald Reagan was one such brief moment.

But Reagan was the exception to the rule.

Nothing, not political compromise, not negotiation, not 'reaching across the aisle for a solution,' has produced one single bit of real progress on human liberty.

So what do freedom-loving Americans do when all else fails?

Vanderboegh has a plan. Here is an excerpt from his recent post:

So the stakes are higher now, and the potential for catastrophe is higher as well. Let me emphasize one thing: we won't get a second chance at this. If we lose individual liberty here, now, in this country to our would-be socialist overlords, we won't get it back in the next hundred years, if then. This is a World War on liberty, people, and right now we're losing it, and losing it badly. We have all of the dangers of 1940 without any of the future promise of success. America does not sit in the distance waiting to come to the rescue of Europe. Name one government ANYWHERE which is committed to free markets and individual liberty. Name one. Unlike 1940, the United States has BECOME Europe. The night beckons.

Now that your curiosity has been appropriately heightened, read the rest of the post HERE.

The Obamessiah has arrived in his Mecca (the European Union) to throngs of worshippers who wonder if his speech in Germany will be his 'JFK moment.'

Messiahs don't lie, but Barack Obama does! Gateway Pundit caught him in at least 3 whoppers just prior to his departure from Israel to go to Europe.

Via Rezkorama, The Astute Bloggers show us the difference between lying and misspeaking (the Obamessiah's excuse for every lie he tells).

Born Again Redneck has essential reading on the 'Big O's' visit to Germany, entitled, 'Ich bin ein doughnut.' ROFL!!

David Codrea at War on Guns posts a follow-up to the story reported yesterday that the Memphis police chief has targeted bloggers in the area who have been critical of the department.

Armed and Safe, among others, calls attention to the controvery within the gun community that Mike Vanderboegh has stirred. Some among us believe his writings are over the top, but not if you consider that his premise has merit. It seems to me the rub comes in on the question of 'when' and not 'if.'

Traction Control provides a good summary of the controvery and has some entirely reasonable observations, in my opinion.

JR at A Keyboard and a .45 gives us an update on his upcoming trip to Blackwater to train with Todd Jarrett.

Roberta X points out some vital facts about the human race before we wised up and started eating meat.

Alphecca says that D.C. still doesn't get it, but one editorial writer does.

In case you missed it, The Bitch Girls provide an update to the anti-freedom billboard debacle in Philly.

Speaking of Mike Vanderboegh, Sebastian has posted a poll on the subject of revolution. Go over there, take a look, and cast a vote that represents your views on the subject.

Breda blogs on the joys of learning to shoot...and guns being 'the great equalizers.'

John Lott reports that a former proponent of the man-made global warming theory has now changed his mind.

Michelle Malkin gives us some news that was not reported in the MSM. Obama was heckled during his visit at the Western Wall in Israel...and was met with very loud and persistent protesters. But no matter. He's already in Germany where the peons will bow in worshipful praise to their Master, providing the MSM with many good photo-ops.

Texas Fred said the Second Amendment IS his gun permit! Yes, sir, I agree!

JB's Corner points to some MUST-read articles today, one of which is, 'What Part of "Drill Now" Do They Not Understand?'

Days of our Trailers provides a good example of what happens when illegal aliens are given refuge in so-called 'sanctuary cities' (i.e., cities that are breaking U.S. law).
