calling out the Klan
Members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are planning to show up tonight in Oxford for the presidential debate.

But they're going incognito - no robes. We have to guess who they might be.

There's no reason to show up in this fashion unless it's to make people worry. Not that this is unusual - the Klan has always been about fear. It does show their status as complete and total chickenshits, however.

I would invite members of the MWKKK who plan to attend tonight's debate to bring their robes. Hell, bring a cross and some gasoline. Let us know who you are. We already know who you support.

(toxic link alert - here's their webpage. It's about what you'd expect, so be advised before you click.)

8. Cowards.
In May of 1978, a white guy shot three men, including two black men, in the parking lot of an area bar. He was upset because he lost a card game.

The night before their funerals, I was with my brother-in-law when a guy called on the phone, and said the "local KKK" was coming to burn a cross on his lawn. My BIL said, "Great! I've got some marshmellows. Come right over." The guy hung up, and no one showed.

4. You mean no hoods? We'll still be able to tell them by their pea brain pointy heads.
That's why they wear those pointy hats.

5. I don't understand
Why they aren't wearing their robes? Aren't they proud of their beliefs?

7. I went to Fred Phelps' website once. Once. I'll take your word about this website.
Good post. I agree with you.

15. when I first got online in the mid-90s,
I spent a lot of time looking up these hate groups and trying to argue with them. Like trying to talk to funk. I think I visited the WBC site a couple of times. :hi:

20. You're a better man than I if you can try to argue with Fred Phelps.
You're a good guy to try to reason with these people.

14. Come on, you racist fuckers, I double DARE you: Do you have the guts to
show the world how you think, or are you little fraidy-scared pussies who will only wear your robes when nobody except other loser assholes like YOU are can see you doing so?

If you won't do that at the debate, hey, come on over to my house - but only WITH your robes - and be ready to live with what I, the half-white guy, and my half-African wife greet you with.

You fucking cowardly dirtbags.

Redstone

23. can we not use this?
I mean, I know the official campaign can't touch it (although I'd love to hear Obama acknowledge their presence tonight), but can't someone put something out about Klan support for McCain? It's not as if they're going in the interest of their civic duties.

28. Well, I just posted on the NYTimes blog.
It will be nice for everyone to get a gander at McCain and Palin's "base."
