Someone should mention the content of Cockburn's (and Silverstein's) critique of the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's that it exaggerates the prevalence of racism in the South in order to raise funds for its own leaders.
And they have lots of funds! Also, they won't touch death penalty challenges, because that doesn't work so well in fundraising. Too controversial. So they stick with scaring Yankees with tales of a resurgent Klan and neo-Nazis on the march. That's gold in the mails.
