Why is the SPLC denouncing Turkey?

Here's today's quiz: Why would an organization that advertises itself as a non-profit (giggle!) civil rights advocate spend so much time on the history and policies of far-away Turkey? Check out these seemingly incongruous articles, starting with this one, featured on the cover of the latest Intelligence Report:

Turkey Spends Millions to Cover Up Armenian Genocide

Then there are these other recent pieces:

Institute of Turkish Studies Chair Forced Out For Rebuking Genocide Deniers

Board Members Quit Turkey-Funded U.S. Institute in Flap Over Armenian Genocide

So why would the Southern Poverty Law Center give a hoot about something that has nothing to do with its stated mission?

Long-time readers know the answer to that one: the SPLC's stated mission has nothing to do with its actual role, or with its money-making activities.

Here's a hint: the Neocons are hell-bound to attack Iran. And it seems Turkey has developed quite a bit of trade with Iran, and doesn't want to see its new trading partner isolated, much less engulfed in war. So, as Foreign Policy in Focus reveals, the Neocons have been bad-mouthing Turkey.

And we know the SPLC enthusiastically supports the Neocon/globalist agenda. Whether it's depressing the wages of poor and middle-class minorities by helping globalist corporations import cheap, Third-World labor, demonizing fellow leftists trying to expose the crimes of globalist corporations, or working as a "super-snoop" outfit for the Federal government, the SPLC is DC's well-paid hired gun. Propagandizing the American public for another aggressive war? All in a day's work.
