[QUOTE="East Coast, post: 2854772, member: 625"] I had never heard of Turning Point until today. The ADL lists Turning Point as the following: An Ultra Conservative student organization whose mission statement is to “identify educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.” I have no problems with this mission statement. The problems are the actual statements coming out of it's leaders and students affiliated with the organization. The worst offender by far is Candace Owens. It well documented that she has defended Hitler as a "globalist, not a nationalist", (she has since somewhat backed off of the original statement), that the KKK was just one of those mirages, and not dangerous, and that black Americans are worse off economically than they were under Jim Crow. (I have never heard anyone else say this). Candace Owens is black. The other biggest issue are the racist remarks and hate speech coming from many of the students that belong to the organization. The organization has a "hit list" of professors that it considers too liberal. Bottom line, the ADL believes that while the group has managed to keep from being directly attached to the some of the white extremist groups, that the group behaves like a hate group. Interestingly, it has a fair number of black members, but seems to concentrate it's hate activities against all Middle Eastern Peoples (whether Jewish or Muslim or Christian doesn't matter) and Latinos. Maybe TCU has a point? [/QUOTE]
