Connection Sought Between Anti-Gay Phelps Demo & KKK
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/052605kkk.htm

Three large crosses were burned in separate spots across town during a span of just over one hour Wednesday night, and yellow fliers with Ku Klux Klan sayings were found at one location, police said.

It was the first time in recent memory that one of the South's most notorious symbols of racial hatred has been seen in the city.

"At this day and time, I thought we'd be beyond that," said Mayor Bill Bell. "People do things for different reasons, and I don't have the slightest idea why anyone would do this."

1. Hatred
begets hatred. That would be the only thing at this point I could offer. Our community lives with these freaks every single day and has for many many years and nothing like this has happened. Unless he is branching out this is a first as far as I know.

I think in some ways it would surprise me that he directly was involved with this but his associations are not the most peaceful people.
