Slog - Comments on Debate Night Riders http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/debate_night_riders Richard Green, Imperial Wizard of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, says that the KKK will be attending to tonight's presidential debate at the University of Mississippi. But rest easy, Obama supporters! Green promises that the Klan isn't coming to make "a big hoopla" or anything. The Klan will, however, have pamphlets and membership applications on hand for any audience members who happen to share the Klansmen's views. Some examples of those views: Obama's election "could be the destruction of America," says Greene, who states categorically that he would not vote for a black candidate. More here....

The Klan still exists? People are willing to own up to being members of it? I mean, I knew that racism isn't gone (contra Colbert ;) but I had figured that the most overt forms of it were.

Ah, nothing like America. Freedom to be a complete dick to anyone, just because.

I wonder if they still steal white sheets or if they buy them now.

I havcen't been this shocked since someone in the American Nazi Party said he would not vote for Lieberman. KKK not being willing to vote for someone black? A Nazi unwilling to vote for a Jew? I'm shocked!!!

I hate the KKK with a passion.

They probably wait until the Martin Luther King Day White Sale and stock up.

They have a form you have to fill out, with questions about your racial background, religious affiliation, belief in the greatness of being white, etc, etc. I think you also have to send a photo now, since they had some pranks back in the day.
