Doesn't it seem like a nostalgic moment when the Ku Klux Klan shows up to do its “song and dance” of mind-numbing, color-aroused crap along with Nazi salutes these days? At least these cretins know how to dress up for the occasion, as opposed to the boatload of bigots we've seen during the 2008 campaign and post-inauguration.
The latest Klan fashion show was held in Mississippi, as twelve members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan showed up at Ole Miss to protest the University's decision to dump “From Dixie with Love” from the playlist of the school band. Apparently during the school's football games some deluded fans chanted the “the South will rise again.” The pointy-hat brigade was wildly outnumbered as 250+ protestors showed up.
Naturally the KKK and those fans at the games shouting about the South rising to form its own nation are probably clueless that the government they wish to overthrow sends more dollars and resources to the pitiful states of the deep South than the states contribute.

Speaking of color-aroused peeps, Salon has an interesting piece on “Glenn Beck's white nationalist fans.” I'm sure no one is surprised at these findings of an Anti-Defamation League report released last Monday that recalls the conclusion of April's Department of Homeland Security paper that showed the paranoid right wing fringe poses a serious threat. The ADL report, however, points the finger at Glenn Beck.
“Beck has acted as a 'fearmonger-in-chief,' raising anxiety about and distrust towards the government [which] if it continues to grow in intensity and scope, may result in an increase in anti-government extremists and the potential for a rise of violent anti-government acts,” the ADL wrote.
Amazingly, just after the ADL report's release, Sarah Palin responded to a question about a possible Palin-Beck ticket by refusing to rule out Beck as a running mate. She praised him effusively, describing him as “bold, clever, and very, very, very effective.”
Earlier this week, Sam Stein of the Huffington Post detailed several instances in which Beck has welcomed onto his shows guests with ties to groups that traffic in white supremacy, neo-Confederate secession, and anti-Semitism. Stein's reporting was a good start, but it would take a chalkboard the size of Idaho to fully map out Beck's racially paranoid guest list.
But Beck insists his critics are imagining things, that he does not engage in racial fear-mongering, that a string of guests with ties to hate groups do not form a meaningful pattern, and that he's not a racist.
What's hilarious about this piece by Alexander Zaitchik is that he then proceeds to contact Don Black, the white nationalist founder of Stormfront.org and David Duke, but neither wanted to talk to him about Beck. But Zaitchik found Beck supporters among the readers and commenters at Stormfront's site, including this gem:
“Glen [sic] Beck can be useful,” said one frequent Stormfront contributor who posts under the name SS_marching. “When Glen beck said 'Obama Has A Deep-Seated Hatred For White People' he is able to reach a much wider audience than we can. They will [be] predisposed to the idea and the next time Obama pushes an anti-white policy they will see it as such.”

The ones in sheets and hoods they stole from the laundry don’t scare me.It’s the ones who say “I hate the KKK” in public but in private agree with everything that they stand for saying that’s it’s the right thing to do without ever saying “I agree with the klan”. I work with people like that.
They don’t like GLBT’s and express those views loudly. They don’t like the president and express those views loudly. They speak the klan partly line and are totally clueless that its klan. Their ignorance of the klan influence is appalling.
They don’t even draw the correlation between Beck’s book cover attire to a nazi uniform.
Sadly…
I’m coming to believe that all of our pointing out of hypocrisies and anti-logic of the crazies are merely acts that generate primary source material for anthropologists of 100 years from now – and archeologists of 1000 years from now – to piece together why a nation that had everything going for it – economic power, military might, most of the rest of the world envying it (flaws and all) – could allow itself to be eaten alive by its own fifth column of racio-religionist insanity.
Maybe we should just turn everything back over to the amoebas.
They can’t be any dumber than Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin.
lovely…how one of the insults to the KKK was “say something you FAGOTTS at 1:33″ so doesn’t that imply that automatically imply that the gays are worse than the KKK…awesome.

HuffPo has videos of this human sludgeI said forget video taping them while they stood there, video tape the cars they drove off in and their license plates.
THEN hundreds or thousands of us show up at their homes and businesses let all their neighbors and clients know what foul trogladites they are. Give them no where to run, and no where to HIDE.
I believe LSU had or soon will have a game against Old Miss, I wondered if Louisiana boys decided to pack their klan robes for the trip over there.
They weren’t calling them gay faggots……they were calling them faggots.
Here, the boys from South Park will explain it.

And to be serious, the KKK hates LGBT people as much as they hate blacks, Jews, etc.
Call them racists and they’ll smile and be proud of that fact. Call them homophobic and they’ll replay, “You damn betcha!”
Calling them “faggots” on the other hand, that’s an insult that’ll work on them.
Although, frankly, the only appropriate response to the Klan or neo-nazi rallies, or an appearance by the Phelps family is laughter. If all the counterprotestors did was point and laugh for the duration of the Klan appearance, that would have utterly humiliated them. Responding to every shout of “White Power!” with “Clown Power!” by the protestors would have been far more effective than yelling “Faggots!”
Catcalls, people throwing stones at them, trying to assault them, the LOVE that! Because it indicates to them and potential members that the “enemy” sees the Klan as a danger to them. “Look how the left fears us, must mean we’re doing something right!”
Being laughed at, on the other hand, shows that the Klan is nothing more than a bunch of pathetic clowns.
They’re nothing more than clowns. You don’t throw insults and stones at clowns.
You throw pies!
The LSU-Ole Miss game was yesterdayOle Miss 25 LSU 23 (…for those who care)
To me this makes more sense visiting racists unknown to the stateCowardly stage this sh*t they probably have BBQs of MS and LA alumni klan folks from both schools. They have rival teams, but hating Commie-Jew-N*gger-Faggots is the tie that BINDS…er LYNCHES.
Depending on the situation…
Some of the best fun I had while being a Jane-of-all-trades for the late, lamented Texas Triangle involved the protesters at the 1998 Corpus Christi Pride Parade.
They were big, bad and brave whil holding up the usual sorts of signs (‘sodomy is sin,’ etc.)…
until I turned my camera toward them and made it clear that I was taking photos of them for publication. Most of them ran (though several of those did wander back into the mix – after being ‘persuaded’ by the protest’s ringleader.)
I guess they weren’t confident that their ‘deity’ was all-powerful enough to hide their identities, eh?
hadn’t seen that one..just another reason to love South Park..lol
I think it’s nice…It’s good to see that the old boy’s network is accessorizing these days. I noticed some really cute little belts from the picture. Tassles never go out of style you know. And of course I see that atleast some of them are following the old school rule of no white after labor day. I personally think there is real hope for the KKK of the future. But I still don’t think the hoods or the cut on those dresses does a thing for their figure.
The whole episode is worth watching.One of their better social commentary episodes.
Oh, and let me say, even though I’m straight, I can well understand how the use of the word “faggot” at UM by a protestor is distressing. I was wincing myself, while watching the video.
The amoebas are incredibly organized…Personally, I’ll vote for the Amoeba/Primordial Ooze 2012 ticket.
But I think this is funny: Don Black, the white nationalist founder of Stormfront.org. Yeah, call me goofy but the thought of a white nationalist with the last name Black makes me giggle.
