Ministry files lawsuit against Southern Poverty Law Center for labeling it a hate group (And I hope they sue CNN too)

We previously reported that Freedom Center threatened a lawsuit against SPLC and CNN. Well a ministry labeled a hate group by SPLC has gone one step further and filed suit against the con artists at SPLC.

D. James Kennedy Ministries, based at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, has filed a federal lawsuit in Alabama against the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center for calling the ministry a hate group.

The lawsuit was filed Aug. 22 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama in Montgomery.  The lawsuit alleges that the SPLC "illegally trafficked in false and misleading descriptions of the services offered by DJKM and committed defamation against DJKM arising from the publication and distribution of false information that libels the ministry's reputation and subjects the ministry to disgrace, ridicule, odium, and contempt in the estimation of the public," according to a statement by the ministry.
