The Southern Poverty Law Center famously smeared Dr. Ben Carson, a former GOP candidate for president and one of the most admired men in America, when it listed him as a “hater.”

And the SPLC was linked to a domestic terrorist when Floyd Corkins admitted he relied on the organization for information about the Family Research Council in Washington, which he attacked with a gun, intending to kill as many people as he could.

Further, lawyers Trent Garmon and Holly Garmon have submitted a complaint to the Alabama State Bar Disciplinary Commission alleging SPLC chief Richard Cohen, who is paid more than $300,000 a year to run the nonprofit organization, repeatedly violated Rule 8.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which states, “A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office.”

SPLC is at best a far left operative that employs Apparatchiks.  I have not checked lately but its well funded and IIRC a big chunk comes from the Taxpayers...

Further, lawyers Trent Garmon and Holly Garmon have submitted a complaint to the Alabama State Bar Disciplinary Commission alleging SPLC chief Richard Cohen, who is paid more than $300,000 a year to run the nonprofit organization, repeatedly violated Rule 8.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which states, “A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office.”

The burden is to prove that he made false statements.  Considering that this is from the WND, I'd say the two will not be able to prove that Cohen's statements are false... as the ones questioned are not.
