Ten most dangerous groups in the US -- according to a far-out rightwing dingbat

Check out this article from "Family Security Matters" -- the author's
surname is appropriate -- Rantz.

So he's telling us that colleges and universities and Media Matters
are the most dangerous organizations in the country. I guess what he
means is that truth and learning are dangerous to rightwingers and
their propaganda.

With the help of the Internet, wealthy donors, and willfully ignorant
newspapers and television networks, dangerous "hate" organizations are
growing powerful in the world of politics. They aim to distort facts
to push their own ideological agenda - usually at the expense of
ethics, integrity, and morals. Unfortunately, these groups are
propagandizing millions of Americans because biased newspapers,
magazines, and cable news networks are knowingly treating the
information these organizations spoon feed them as fact.



Hatred knows no ideology, and there are groups like this on both sides
of the political spectrum. They may not share the same dogma, but what
they do have in common is their unwillingness to bend in their
strictly biased view of the world.



Based on their effectiveness of disseminating propaganda, here are the
ten most dangerous organizations in America:



10) Think Progress



When you and I think about progress, we think about securing our
borders, fighting terrorism, and making the Bush tax cuts permanent.
The progressive organization Think Progress, however, has something
different in mind - the unrelenting bashing of everything Right is the
way to progress in America. Think Progress is comprised of your
standard progressive hypocrites who follow the mantra "state falsities
enough until people think they're facts."



They believe in "vast Right wing conspiracies". According to Think
Progress, the Right is engaged in a massive "disinformation campaign"
on the "manmade" global warming issue, and is upset that the Right has
criticized Al Gore's Nobel Prize win. Ironically, it's Gore's "An
Inconvenient Truth" that has been accused by the scientific community
of being misleading, incorrect and pushing disinformation. But, like
many issues the Left holds near and dear, if you point out the
falsities in Gore's phony research, you hate the environment.



9) Muslim Student Association



Call me crazy, but as a Jew, I am very nervous about organizations
that would like to see death to Israel. It's just a personal
preference of mine that Israel be left to... I don't know... survive? That
is why the Muslim Student Association (MSA) made the list. As Discover
the Networks reports:



On October 22, 2000, Ahmed Shama, then-president of the UCLA Muslim
Students' Association, led a crowd of demonstrators at the Israeli
consulate in chants of "Death to Israel!" and "Death to the Jews!"



MSA is a group that supports radical Islam that calls for the death of
Jews, the wiping out of the United States, raises money for Hamas, and
has many other ties to terrorist organizations.



8) CodePINK



CodePINK is a "women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice
movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect
our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming
activities." While that makes our hearts flutter, CodePINK is nothing
more than a far- Left group of loony, hypocritical women who don't
seem to care about the lack of women's rights in Iraq or Iran. These
people want peace at all costs - all costs to the U.S included.



They pretend to care about our troops, but in reality they frequently
use them as a way to attack conservative politicians and thinkers with
whom they disagree. They accuse President Bush of treating our troops
as "toys," but also spend their resources defacing military
recruitment offices and implying our recruiters are "assassins" (that
sure is support for our troops, isn't it?).



7) American Civil Liberties Union, National



Sure, I will admit that sometimes the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) is on the right side of the law, particularly local ACLU
chapters (their support for the "Bong Hits for Jesus" case was spot-
on). It is their national organization, which frequently uses far Left
interpretations of the Constitution to give unheard-of rights to
terrorists that makes them such a dangerous organization. And despite
their far-out ideas, the media loves the ACLU, giving them airtime to
push their agenda on us.



6) Family Research Council



The Family Research Council is a far-Right organization that
oftentimes does not contribute positively to debates, but takes hard
lined stances on issues to the point where they simply don't seem
reasonable. I have no problem with religious organizations taking
respectful stances on controversial issues, but FRC routinely goes too
far. We know they are against homosexuality, but to bolster their
cause they even criticize monogamous homosexual relationships as being
unhealthy. Similarly, on the case of media decency, the FRC takes a
firm stand that the FCC should have more power to censor what the
group deems indecent, rather than stressing on parental responsibility
to prevent children from watching certain television shows.



I believe in a lot of what the FRC preaches but when they needlessly
go too far, it does them - and the nation - a tremendous disservice.



5) Center for American Progress



This liberal think tank does far less thinking than it does smearing
and misleading. The Center for American Progress supports driver's
licenses for illegal immigrants, refers to critics who oppose illegal
immigrants as "racists," and suggests conservative SCOTUS Justices are
somehow plotting to create a conservative America.



4) League of the South



It's hard to believe a group like this still exists. The League of the
South is a sexist and racist group of Southerners who call for the
cessation of the South. They believe the household should be run by
the male and according to the book "Terrorism and Organized Hate
Crime," "Founder Michael Hill, a former college professor, called
blacks 'a deadly and compliant underclass.'" The goal of this group is
to create a South where they will withhold "support from all
institutions and objects of American mass culture that are
antithetical to our beliefs and heritage." In other words, diversity
of thought will not be tolerated: you either support them, or you
don't.



3) MoveOn.org



Whenever there is a patriot who happens to support a conservative
viewpoint, MoveOn.org is there to smear. Whenever a conservative
pundit can be taken wildly out of context to sound racist, stupid,
sexist, MoveOn.org will be there to smear. Whenever a far Left
Democrat needs some extra bullying because they are losing a political
debate, MoveOn.org will be there to smear.



MoveOn.org, a far Left anti-war, anti-Republican organization, became
a political player not because of their campaigns (which have
resoundingly failed), but because of their well-to-do contributors and
support from liberal leaders and liberal celebrities. While they have
little effect on elections or policies, they are powerful because they
are not only in bed with so many liberal leaders, but they do the
liberals' dirty work for them. Here are two notable failed campaigns
by MoveOn.org:



- After attacking Gen. David Petraeus in a New York Times
advertisement, there was a loud outcry from the Right and the Left,
leading to a House resolution condemning that kind of smear tactic.

- MoveOn.org candidate Ned Lamont lost the general election to
Independent Joe Lieberman.



2) Universities and Colleges



Anyone familiar with my column at Family Security Matters knows my
thoughts on the Left's stranglehold on American colleges and
universities. Unfortunately, many professors use the various
organizations on this list as a part of their curriculum, often
selectively ignoring facts that don't support their far-Left agenda.



1) Media Matters for America



You're unlikely to find a more dishonest machine than Media Matters.
Their entire operation involves listening to conservative talk radio
and television commentators, taking anything out of context that they
can, and running the host through the mud. They are professional smear
merchants who routinely attack Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean
Hannity and Neil Cavuto.



Media Matters is virulently anti-free speech when the speech involved
is conservative in nature. The organization actively issues directives
to its readers to contact Rush Limbaugh Show affiliates to try to boot
him off the air for the "phony soldiers" comment that organizations
like Media Matters willfully took out of context.



Media does matter for America - which is why you should steer clear of
the astoundingly inaccurate and unethical Media Matters for America.
