Matt Barber tells media to gag itself and not bring up the Southern Poverty Law Center

Ever since last month's tragic shooting at the Family Research Council's headquarters, the Religious Right has been on a mission to lay the blame on the Southern Poverty Law Center for designating FRC and others as anti-gay hate groups.

Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel, in particular, has been on a crusade to blame the shooting on the SPLC and on Friday's episode of the "Faith and Freedom" radio program, warned everyone in the media not to ever dare to cite the SPLC's anti-gay hate group designations ever again, saying that if they do and "something like this again happens, (they) will also have blood on their hands.

As of yet, there is no evidence that Floyd Lee Corkins read any reports or articles from the Southern Poverty Law Center, just that he "volunteered at a GLBT shelter, so the SPLC is involved in this... somehow!."

Also interesting is that nobody cites the Southern Poverty Law Center when they make a racist rant involving the New Black Panthers, they are a listed hate group and all. Weird that they don't get mentioned since their hate group listings make it open season to attack, right?
