Who is fooling who? Ride again? They are showing up by the thousands at orange anti-Christ rallies. Gone are the white dunce hoods replaced with those red dunce MAGA hats. History is remarkably circular.

Two decades ago, the editor of the tiny Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Ala., was being talked about as a potential contender for the Pulitzer Prize. A congressional citation read on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1998 lauded “his truly American heroism and dedication to the truth” and called him “one of Alabama’s finest and most ethical journalists.” Glowing profiles in the New York Times, People magazine and the American Journalism Review highlighted his tenacious reporting and down-home Southern charm.

Now, Goodloe Sutton is back in the news again — this time because he recently called for mass lynchings and suggested that the Ku Klux Klan should return to “clean out” Washington.

“Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again,” began a Feb. 14 editorial in the paper, which went on to claim that Democrats, along with some Republicans, were planning to raise taxes in Alabama. It concluded, “Seems like the Klan would be welcome to raid the gated communities up there.”

“If we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out D.C., we’d all been better off,” he told the paper, explaining, “We’ll get the hemp ropes out, loop them over a tall limb and hang all of them.”

During the same conversation, Sutton argued that the KKK “didn’t kill but a few people” and “wasn’t violent until they needed to be,” the Advertiser reported on Monday. He further suggested the Klan, a white supremacist hate group, was comparable to the NAACP. Sutton also added that people could call him, write him a letter or boycott the paper if they disagreed with his views.

This is as bad as the former LPSG member who told me that black people had no reason to fear the KKK.

Shall we wait for pred to denounce this? How about Jjz?

“The initial thought was hopefully this is satire. But looking at the reporting around the editorial, we see that he has not backed down from anything he said in the editorial," Cook said. "In fact, he’s doubled down.”

Yeah, well . . . even if he turns around and says "just kidding," so what? What you think is funny says a lot about you.

And let's not forget that other certain someone who again, only recently, dismissed the Klan as "a comical fringe group."

My actual reply:

“Yeah and where is the false statement? I will say the KKK may be morphing into something more sinister. Mostly they WERE a joke.”

Seems rather acurate.

Liar.

No bud. Here are your EXACT words:

"You do realize BlackLivesMatter is overtly racist and is considered a mainstream organization while the KKK is a fringe group more comical than scary?"



You do realize BlackLivesMatter is overtly racist and is considered a mainstream organization while the KKK is a fringe group more comical than scary?

Did you protest when BLM demonized all police? If not, bad on you.

Did you protest when BLM shouted down good people when they innocently declared All Lives Matter? If not, bad on you.

Did you march when campus liberals demanded safe spaces and shouted down even fair reasoned conservative speakers? If not, Bad on you.

See how this works?

Soory to break it to you but I am right.

From the Anti Defamation League study in 2016

“Despite a persistent ability to attract media attention, organized Ku Klux Klan groups are actually continuing a long-term trend of decline. They remain a collection of mostly small, disjointed groups that continually change in name and leadership.”

I am smarter than you.

On the contrary. You are only demonstrating your own... ahem.. lack of knowledge and insight.

Regardless of the ebb and flow of KKK membership or their organization, NO one, with any SEMBLANCE of understanding of the history, impact, and symbolism of this group of RACIST TERRORISTS, would characterize them as "more comical than scary."

That's the uninformed utterance born of bullshit privilege and a mental DISCONNECT from that which impacts others.

Especially since in the SAME post, you defended the "all lives matter" mantra that MANY in the black community (not just BLM) CORRECTLY read as a REFUSAL to acknowledge the disparate treatment of black people by law enforcement.

Remember, we can ALL see your posting history... what you defend and what you EXCUSE.

Category:Ku Klux Klan crimes - Wikipedia

A list of KKK crimes.

You see anything recent? You might be the dumbest poster on this site. Does that look like a scary group?

I'm pleased to know you find comedy in the sordid history of homegrown domestic terrorists who bombed churches and murdered men women and children... pleased to know you believe "all lives matter" being uttered in response to "black lives matter" an "innocent" response.

Nazi Germany is long gone. Do you find neo-Nazis "comical" too??

With all the fake news going on. It’s interesting how this crowd takes an editorial from the Montgomery Advertiser so seriously. Relax y’all the klan ain’t coming back.

They don't have to "come back," they're still around.
