KKK plans to show up at tonight’s debate.

The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to appear at the University of Mississippi for tonight’s debate, the university’s student newspaper reports. The emperor confirmed to the Daily Mississippian that KKK members and officers would be on site, but would not demonstrate publicly:

The Mississippi White Knights will have officers and Klansmen on hand for the presidential debate on September 26, 2008. Our people will be in Oxford and on the campus ‘invisible.’ That means our people won’t be in regalia or demonstrating. So, I guess you’ll just have to guess which of the people present are Klansmen.

The author of the article, a senior at Ole Miss, told the Wall Street Journal, “Everybody thinks it’s pretty chilling.”

1. Of course.

I wonder how many GOP state legislators will be hiding under those hoods?

[mmonk]

2. I bet the secret service will have an idea.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

11. and I hope they (S.S.) treat them the same way they treat

all the other protesters :evilgrin: <<<< yes, I used this smiley.

[lurky]

3. What the * are they planning?!?

:mad:

[Virginia Dare]

16. They plan to do what they always do..

spread their racist hate. They should be met with mock and scorn, and then brushed a side like the ignorant trash that they are.

[Winterblues]

4. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Any bets who they will be cheering for?

[onethatcares]

5. no hoods, no robes.

I bet a bunch of Grey Panthers will be there too. No hoods/no robes. Wadda you think?

Gaud, I can't stand racist bastards like the klan. All the SS has to do is look for the rings.

[Virginia Dare]

6. Send in the clowns....n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Yeah, I heard he changed his mind about cancelling it.

Oh, wait. You mean the actual klan.

Nevermind.

[SmokingJacket]

8. They're still alive and well, just not as visible.

I'm glad they're coming out of their basements to watch the black candidate hand the other guy his ass in a basket.

[dkofos]

9. Well, this is America.

As wrong as they are they still have the right to be wrong.

Will they be doing mclame photo ops in full robes??

[tnlefty]

10. Oh boy, there's not much of anything that makes me as

furious as encountering, reading about or basically anything relating to the Klan. Evil bastards. :mad:

[MrMickeysMom]

12. Really? ...... How would you be able to tell?

[Virginia Dare]

15. If I cared, I'd look for the most ignorant looking mother fuckers in the room..

but since I give less consideration to them than I would a speck of dust on my sleeve, it's a moot point.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. Hey-

Don't hold back, now!

[EC]

13. Well, that'll help mccain

:sarcasm:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. Whew!

I was afraid this debate was going to take place without the Klan showing up.

Come on. A black man, a Presidential candidate, appearing at a campus so laden with civil rights history as Ole Miss?

I love it.

The Klan is a wonderful reminder of the power of free speech in this country, and the truth that hateful speech requires the most protection.

They won't get near the place, but it's a wonderful occasion for them to dress up on a Friday night, and who doesn't want to wear a sheet and a pointed white hat on a Friday night?

[Greyhound]

17. So? Every time they expose themselves as the walking brain-dead they are,

it helps to remind the sane what idiots they are.

:silly:

[proud patriot]

18. wonder why they don't want to wear their "regalia"

aren't they proud to be racist bigots ?

[BeHereNow]

23. Because they are cowards.

Plain and simple.
They know some thinking people might
actually call them out for what they are.
Purveyors of hatred.

BHN

[Tutankhamun]

20. I wish their outfits would be more befitting of their titles.

For example, the Wizard would wear a giant conical, pointy hat, sparkling robes and carry a wand with streamers and a glittery star on it.

The Grand Cyclops would come dressed as a giant, muscular beast with ruddy, reddish skin and one giant, blinking eye in the middle of his forehead.

Maybe then people would take the KKK seriously again.

[Naturyl]

21. Oh boy, the Klan is coming

How wonderful.

Too bad they are going to hide in plainclothes.

[CatholicEdHead]

22. Sounds like 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou?'

Lots of KKK in that movie in Depression-era Mississippi.

[marmar]

24. Trent Lott will be there?

:scared:
