The dearly departed Scott Adams knew that the Southern Poverty Law Center was a total fraud organization years ago and called them out for it during an episode of his podcast.
Adams noted that while the SPLC refused to call Antifa an extremist organization, they did put Dr. Ben Carson on an extremist list.
Now that the SPLC has been exposed for allegedly paying racist groups to perform racist acts so that they could fundraise off of it, they should be shut down. They have done tremendous harm to the country.
From Focus on the Family:
Scott Adams, the “Dilbert” creator who died in January, also warned about the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“Now, remember how I always tell you that if you know what happened, you might not know anything,” Adams said last year. “But if you know who was involved, well, now you might know something.”
He continued:
“If your job is to identify ghosts, are you going to find any ghosts? Of course you will, because you get paid for it. If your job is to identify hate groups, are you going to find some new hate groups every year? Or are you going to find all the ones that exist, and then you say, you know, we don’t even need to get any funding for the next year, I don’t even know why we have a staff.
He concluded:
“So, you can’t trust anybody who gets paid by the amount of hate that they identify.They’re going to find some hate. But is it real? No, Turning Point USA is nothing like a group, not even close.”
Adams was right, but he obviously wasn’t the only one waving the warning flag on the deviousness and destructiveness of the group’s tactics.
See the clips below:
And as the SLPC comes under scrutiny for their involvement in Charlottesville and the “Fine People Hoax,” let’s wind the clock back.
This is what Scott Adams said when the SPLC labeled TPUSA as “a hate group.”

Scott Adams nailed the prediction six years ago.
“The SPLC is not a legitimate organization,” he said.
And then he predicted … well, you can see what he said next.

It’s so sad that Scott Adams left us so soon, but his body of work will live on for years and years to come. He is still teaching all of us.
