The Southern Poverty Law Center issued an apology and scrubbed Dr. Ben Carson’s from it’s “Extremist Watch List” after receiving wide public outcry.

Legal Insurrection’s William A. Jacobson alerted conservatives that Carson’s name was on the list last week, sparking a firestorm.

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly interviewed Carson about the issue this week on “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Social media took note, and heaped scorn on the SPLC:

I want to thank all the people who have spoken up on my behalf. http://t.co/C7QPhbrib8 #BenCarson

@Rockprincess818 The SPL Center is a well known shake-down group. They aren’t interested in justice, just settlements. @KatMcKinley

@Rockprincess818 @StrongerAmerca But I’m still not taking the SPLC off of our Extremist List…

The @splcenter taking you off their list didn’t save your reputation: it saved theirs, bc it made them look like idiots @RealBenCarson

@Rockprincess818 @KatMcKinley I coin it a “hollogy”; a hollow apology. The Southern Poverty Law School is poorer for its vindictive behavior

@Marthwrite That’s the goal -make everyone hate SoCons w/ a decent & healthy mind about sexuality (#Christian or not) #splc #tcot #pjnet

Now that the good doctor has been removed, let’s see what we can do about getting the Southern Poverty Law Center to stop calling the tea party movement racist — or would that be asking for too much?
