Far Right Terrorism Watch: White Supremacists threatening Southern Poverty Law Center
Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center has increased security around its building following threats from white supremacists to blow up its building.

The security threat against the center, located in Montgomery, comes after a lawsuit was filed in late July against the Imperial Klans of America.

The suit, filed in Kentucky, contends that two Klansmen severely beat a 16-year-old male at a Kentucky county fair in July 2006. The attack left the teen with two cracked ribs, a broken left forearm, cuts and bruises.

Two men are serving three-year prison terms after pleading guilty to second-degree assault. The center sued them for their actions in late February and later added the IKA and three other individuals.

SPLC co-founder Morris Dees said in an e-mail Monday that the center will not back down.

There have been almost a dozen threats in relation to the suit.

No one from the Klan organization has responded to calls for comment.

Broken Record
Lou Dobbs' daily 'Broken Borders' CNN segment has focused on immigration for years.

But there's one issue Dobbs just won't take on.


By Heidi Beirich and Mark Potok

.... For more than two years now, Dobbs has served up a populist approach to immigration on nightly segments of his newscast entitled "Broken Borders." He has relentlessly covered the issue, although hardly from a traditional news perspective -- Dobbs favors clamping down on illegal immigration, and his "reporting" never fails to make that clear. He has covered the same issues, and the same anti-immigration leaders, time after time after time. In recent months, Dobbs has run countless upbeat reports on the "citizen border patrols" that have sprung up around the country since last April's Minuteman Project, a paramilitary effort to seal the Arizona border.

But there's one thing Lou Dobbs won't do. No matter what others report about the movement, Dobbs has failed to present mounting and persistent evidence of anti-Hispanic racism in anti-immigration groups and citizen border patrols. ....

*********UNQUOTE********

And who the Minutemen really are:
