“Today, Mr. Speaker, a young man was sentenced because he listened to the propaganda of an organization that I consider a hate group. This group says: If you don't agree with us, if you don't follow the line, you deserve to be on our list. They listed the Family Research Council--godly people that have the sole purpose of reaching out to families. Reading literature from the Southern Poverty Law Center, this young man took it upon himself to feel that the Family Research Council needed to be punished. He picked up a gun and went there to murder people whose greatest desire was to promote family values. As he unloaded his gun, someone stopped him. Today, the man was sentenced. But to this day, we have not heard an apology from the Southern Poverty Law Center. We have not heard any words from them criticizing those actions. To this day, we don't hear any apologies or any cries for what that young man did. The Southern Poverty Law Center continues to list an enemy list of anybody that disagrees with them politically. I'm waiting for their apology. ____________________”
