Dr. Beirich must have watched too many episodes of “Mad Men.”)

The SPLC dropped the “non-profit civil rights organization” descriptor from its website in 2004. It now refers to itself as “an advocacy group” in its press releases and other fundraising materials, just like any other special interest group.

This frees the company to go after the most inane topics-du-jour without having to make any attempt at linking their actions to civil rights.

Last year the donors sent the company more than $54 million tax-free dollars, do Dr. Beirich’s “advocacy” campaign is doing something right.
