NY Post labels Southern Poverty Law Center as "far Left" - good to know all the hate is on the Right

The wingnut talking heads are often careful to make a distinction of "Far Left" in their attacks on anybody-not-them, implying that they tolerate somebody, somewhere on the Left, who-knows-whom .

My impression of the SPLC is that they provide the admirable American service of tracking and exposing anti-American-valued-outfits.

Not linking the NYP, but a headline today is: "Far-left org helped train Biden’s DOJ prosecutors, had exclusive access to hate crimes data"

And I clicked to see who the "far-left org" was, and it was the SPLC. "Far" anything would mean to me that an outfit or person is some kind of violent kind of thing. The MAGAt definitions are all inclusive, with a very small slot for NON-far Dems/Libs, who are not readily identified.

Wouldn't "access to hate crimes data" be the SPLC's own research data?
