ABC News is getting rightfully attacked for calling a Christian civil liberties a “hate group” just because the Southern Poverty Law Center says so.
Kerri Kupec of the Alliance Defending Freedom organization defended the group from the idiotic attack.
Watch below:
Brit Hume tweeted about the absurdity:
If the axe-grinding SPLC says it, that’s good enough for ABC News: Christians Who Back 1st Amdt Are A ‘Hate Group’ https://t.co/wgmVM6azsz

Mollie Hemingway, who has gone crazy otherwise, writes very well in defense of the organization here:
Who is this “hate group”? Alliance Defending Freedom is not a hate group at all, but a civil liberties organization that battles for religious liberty. And they’re not a fringe group either. They just weeks ago won their most recent Supreme Court victory — Trinity Lutheran v. Comer — 7-2. It was their fifth Supreme Court victory in seven years, during which time they’ve had no losses at the high court.
And the group is ranked among the top law firms in the country for its successes at the Supreme Court.
Most recently the non-profit law firm found out that the Supreme Court agreed to hear another one of their cases dealing with artistic freedom and religious liberty.
To characterize such an accomplished civil rights group as a ‘hate group’ is unacceptable and inexcusable. It boggles the mind why ABC News, in the midst of cratering credibility, would disparage Christian efforts in favor of religious liberty in such a mendacious way.
The affinity that the media has for the SPLC really is one of the most obvious evidence that they are biased against the right, and what’s right.
