…by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Well, there’s the surprise of the century. Apparently it’s the same old stuff again: the League of the South, and the SPLC’s belief that I have called John Paul II a “material heretic.” Why the SPLC would care about the latter point I have absolutely no idea, but it’s flatly untrue. If it were, why would I have written the cover story on John Paul II earlier this year for The American Conservative (or, for that matter, this article)?

I’ll also take a wild guess that a SPLC “investigation” doesn’t include speaking to the person being investigated.

It’s just as well: since the SPLC has condemned a whole list of people I admire, including Tom DiLorenzo (big hater he!), Don Livingston (did you know that perhaps the world’s greatest living David Hume scholar is really a big hater?), Clyde Wilson (yep, the editor of the Calhoun Papers is a hater, too), I’ll be happy to be included in their list. It’ll probably sell more books for me, as did the New York Times attack earlier this year.

These people are pathetic.
