Casey Sanchez/SPLC, Frank Sharry, Andrea Nill/CAP smear FAIR over non-existent connection (Dave Bennion) - 6/17/2009

From a FAIR press release (link): The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has launched its most irresponsible attack to date against the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The SPLC claims that Shawna Forde, the alleged killer of a little girl and her father during an Arizona home invasion, had ties to FAIR. Although no association exists -- or ever has -- between Ms. Forde and FAIR,...

David Montgomery /WaPo: nearly no real reporting in Luis Gutierrez puff piece - 5/08/2009

David Montgomery of the Washington Post offers a five-screen puff piece (link) on far-left amnesty supporter Rep. Luis Gutierrez and his recent "Family Unity Tour" that completely fails to call him on his many disreputable statements, such as the time he called ICE agents "Gestapo agents". The article fails to call Gutierrez on the many huge flaws in the comprehensive immigrati...

America's Voice offers very lightweight hit piece on Jeff Sessions - 5/07/2009

... old warmed-over smears about FAIR and the Center for Immigration Studies, including this: FAIR, which regularly praised Sessions, has been designated an anti-immigrant hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Clarissa Martinez/NCLR's offensive, misleading pro-illegal immigration editorial - 2/07/2009

... American Immigration Reform (FAIR)-- an anti-immigrant organization designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center -- decided that he is better qualified than Latino civil rights leaders to speak to Latino views. What's next, David Duke writing about African American views on affirmative action? See their name's link for more on the SPLC. See the ethnic conformity for the &q...

Ira Mehlman of FAIR offers "DREAM Over: Illegal Alien Student Amnesty Awakens to Fiscal Reality" (link, copy here).

SPLC's "The Year in Hate" misled about FBI hate crime statistics - 3/31/2008

... American Immigration Reform (FAIR) offered this press release: When examined responsibly, the FBI hate crime data show a dramatically different story than the one the SPLC portrays. First, in order to suggest an artificially large increase in the raw number of hate crimes, the SPLC selects 2003 as its base year, one of lowest years on record for hate crimes against Hispanics.

... of John Tanton, originator of FAIR, CIS, and other groups. Including, of course, this perennial favorite: FAIR, took $1.3 million from the Pioneer Fund, a group that advanced Nazi propaganda in the 1930s and which exists to fund the science of Hitlerian eugenics.
