The far left organization SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) never ceases to amaze me in their Nazi style tactics of going after any one that that doesn't embrace their hate freedom ideologies. The SPLC has now targeted 40 Americans  on their website as being "radical right," “conspiracist,” and “antigovernment.” Remember the far left organization makes a huge amount of money endorsing "big-government leftist ideology.
It is ironic that an organization such as the SPLC known for fighting neo-Nazi groups, use the same Hitler-Nazi tactics that rounded up and killed Jews. The first step in Hitlers plan to round up the Jews was simply Identification/registration of the targeted group as a public menace with the second step being ostracism of the targeted persons. Here is the SPLC's hit list.

JustMyOpinion: Thanks for this post. The SPLC is nothing but a far-left/lunatic fringe hate group. It is indeed the pot calling the kettle black.

In some cases, there's a germ of truth in the SPLC's assessment of certain individuals and organizations.But in all too many cases the SPLC's tactics are no different from those of all other far-left organizations: namely, smear and slander those individuals and groups that don't march in lock-step with leftist ideology. In the eyes of the SPLC, any individual or group right of center is a "hate-group" and the first amendment only applies to those that the SPLC deems politically correct.

Although the resurgence of the so-called Patriots — people who generally believe that the federal government is an evil entity that is engaged in a secret conspiracy to impose martial law, herd those who resist into concentration camps, and force the United States into a socialistic "New World Order" — also has been propelled by people who were key players in the first wave of the Patriot movement in the mid–1990s, there are also a large number of new players. What follows are profiles of 35 individuals at the heart of the resurgent movement:

The Southern Poverty Law Center also warned of the Hutaree Christian Militia.

Nine members of the Hutaree Militia were indicted today [1] in what federal authorities are describing as a plot to murder a law enforcement officer in Michigan and then attack other officials who gathered for the funeral. The five-count indictment followed a series of raids in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana over the weekend.

The Hutaree Militia first came to the attention of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2009, when researchers found the group’s MySpace page. Two chapters of the militia, one in Michigan and one in Utah, were included on the SPLC’s list of militia groups [2] released earlier this month. The Utah chapter held at least one training in 2009.

The Hutaree Militia had close links to several other American militias, according to the group’s MySpace profile. The profile, which carried the slogan “violence solves everything,” shows that the group has 366 “friends.” The militia’s page was linked to dozens of other militias [3], including the Ohio Militia, the Michigan Militia Corps, the Kentucky State Militia, the Central Texas Militia and others. The indictment alleges that in February “several of the conspirators attempted to travel to Kentucky to attend a summit of militia groups.”

The SPLC also had their hand in the infamaus MIAC report that stated if you flew the American flag you were to be considered an extremist.

These people are not anti-government, they're pro-freedom.  If that means anti-government, then maybe our government needs to change its direction, and become pro-freedom as well.
