, 17:37, November 28, 2012→SPLC attacks on conservatives
During the 1990s, the SPLC maintained a separate list of "patriot groups", which although they did not include them as part of their "hate groups" list, carried the same intent: to [[guilt by association|smear those groups by association]], and create the public impression those groups were some sort of threat to society. Their "patriot groups" list included groups opposed to the [[income tax]], groups campaigning for jury and court reform, and the venerable conservative organization the [[John Birch Society]], among others.

Their "patriot groups" list included groups opposed to the [[income tax]], groups campaigning for jury and court reform, and the venerable conservative organization the [[John Birch Society]], among others.
In 2010, the SPLC created a list entitled "Meet the Patriots", which included such people such as [[Chuck Baldwin]], [[Orly Taitz]], and [[Alex Jones]] as supporters of this "patriot movement".<ref>http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/summer/meet-the-patriots?page=0,0</ref> A supplement entitled "The Enablers" was also released, which included [[Michele Bachmann]], [[Glenn Beck]], [[Ron Paul]], and [[Judge Napolitano]].<ref>http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/summer/meet-the-patriots/the-enablers</ref> This incident further proves that the SPLC is a left-wing political organization rather than one focused on racism and civil rights.

In 2012, the SPLC found four individuals to file a law suit against a group providing therapy to homosexual men in order to help them become [[ex-homosexuals]].<ref>http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/27/15486181-four-men-sue-new-jersey-organization-over-gay-conversion-therapy?lite</ref> The SPLC alleges the group violated New Jersey's Consumer Fraud law in advertising that conversion therapy will help people become [[ex-homosexuals]]. Instead of being a pro-consumer lawsuit, as the SLPC implies, the suit is a collateral attack on conversion therapy, and the free exercise of religion.
These incidents further prove the SPLC is a left-wing political organization rather than one focused on racism and civil rights.
