Southern Poverty Law Center apologizes to Ben Carson, takes him off 'extremist’ list

The Southern Poverty Law Center apologized on Wednesday to Ben Carson after placing the potential Republican presidential candidate on its "Extremist Watch List" -- which is mostly made up of hate groups and white supremacists.
Carson was placed on the list last October by the civil rights advocacy group for allegedly being "anti-gay." The group drew criticism after the listing was reported on last week.
"In October 2014, we posted an 'Extremist File' of Dr. Ben Carson," SPLC wrote on its website. "This week, as we've come under intense criticism for doing so, we've reviewed our profile and have concluded that it did not meet our standards, so we have taken it down and apologize to Dr. Carson for having posted it."
Among the reasons the SPLC gave for initially putting Carson on the list includes a March 26, 2013 interview on Fox News' "Hannity."
In that interview, Carson said, "Marriage is between a man and a woman. It's a well-established pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA [North American Man/Boy Love Association], be they people who believe in bestiality -- it doesn't matter what they are, they don't get to change the definition."
