"The Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization known for labeling organizations opposed to same-sex marriage as "hate groups," announced Wednesday that they're finally removing Dr. Ben Carson from their "extremist files" list.
In the online statement, the SPLC offered an apology for having Carson on a list that also includes
white supremacists, Neo-Confederates, and anti-Semites.
"This week, as we've come under intense criticism for doing so, we've reviewed our profile and have concluded that it did not meet our standards, so we have taken it down and apologize to Dr. Carson for having posted it," stated SPLC.
Recently, conservative blogs, websites, and pundits caught wind of Carson's listing on the extremist files and denounced it, accusing the SPLC of playing politics with hate classification.
In response to the controversy, Carson himself called for "true tolerance" and denounced the SPLC deeming his criticism of gay marriage as hatred.
"When embracing traditional Christian values is equated to hatred, we are approaching the stage where wrong is called right and right is called wrong," stated Carson." CP
