Leaving the SPLC out of the conversation, this is the most important part. There are non-profit organizations that provide studies on policy that can be objective and have a goal of providing information rather than promoting an agenda. CIS (and FAIR, from which they spun off) are not those sorts of organizations. They are advocacy organizations, not true think tanks, and any information they provide should be taken with a grain of salt big enough to fill Crater Lake.
