And an objective analysis of that information clearly shows that SPLC misconstrued the underlying data.

SPLC claimed that anti-Hispanic violence increased significantly during a five-year period, and attributed that rise to right-wing hate groups.

In reality, SPLC picked an outlying low data point as their starting point, and failed to account for population increase during the time period - accounting for which shows that such violence actually dropped by around 40%. Similarly, the SPLC report failed to account for gang-related violence, which not only isn’t “right wing”, but also accounts for the vast majority of anti-Hispanic violence.

And just what exactly does that have to do with watching out for organizations like Stormfront and the National Alliance trying to recruit the small percentage of US military veterans who might have become disaffected?

Once again, you cannot legitimately impugn statement A by attacking statement B. It’s just another version of an ad hominem attack on the messenger, by attacking another message, rather than the message at issue.
