Leftist With a Klan Hood gets his Tail Kicked by Black Trump Supporter: Hilarious (Video)

[Roudy]

Robert Byrd

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
.Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

Theodore G. Bilbo

Bibb Graves

....Graves like Hugo Black, were politicians who used the strength of the Klan to further their electoral prospects.[14]

Clifford Walker

Governor Clifford Walker.
Clifford Walker, a Democrat and the 64th Governor of Georgia, was revealed to be a Klan member by the press in 1924.

George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.

Cut-n-pasted Composition fallacy.

Kinda makes it hard to explain Edward Jackson -- Governor of Indiana .... Republican. Klan.

KInda akes it hard to explain Rice Means -- Senator from Colorado ... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain Clarence Morley, Governor of Colorado ... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain George Luis Baker, Mayor of Portland Oregon... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to essplain how a slew of the Anaheim city council got elected... all Republicans, all Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain all those Indiana Republicans taken down with D.C. Stephenson in my video link.

Also makes it hard to explain Jack Walton, Governor of Oklahoma (Democrat) who tried to drive the Klan out of that state in the wake of the Tulsa Race Riots and was himself removed from office after a push from the Klan.

Also makes it hard to explain how Oscar Underwood, Senator from Alabama that was the leading voice denouncing the Klan, got pushback from the Klan to deny him a spot as a Presidential candidate .... at the 1924 Democratic convention.

Kinda makes it hard to explain why the first POTUS to prosecute the revived Klan was Lyndon Johnson ... Democrat.

Care to essplain why a "wing of the Democratic party" would be working to elect Republicans over its own candidates? Care to tell the class why a party with such a "wing" would be actively prosecuting that "wing"?


Once again for you short-bus kids at the Academy of Denialism committed to smokescreening history --- the Klan was never an organization formed for politics. When it finally did dabble in politics it used the Democrats you listed in the South, the Republicans I list here --- whatever would suit the purpose of the time. Politics was secondary -- the primary thrust was as a social police force, keeping blacks, Liberals, communists, unionists, Catholics, Jews, gays, immigrants and "loose" women "in their place". It was a Christian-based Sharia Law force.


And while you're at it, why don't you tell the class which political party is likely to be associated with blacks, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, unions and gays? You can kind of figure it out by reading the general threads in this Politics section. Then explain to us why a political party would be persecuting its own constituency.

This is the hole you Revisionistas always dig yourselves.

Good luck getting out of it.

Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

True story.

Robert Byrd

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
.Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

Theodore G. Bilbo

Bibb Graves

....Graves like Hugo Black, were politicians who used the strength of the Klan to further their electoral prospects.[14]

Clifford Walker

Governor Clifford Walker.
Clifford Walker, a Democrat and the 64th Governor of Georgia, was revealed to be a Klan member by the press in 1924.

George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.

Cut-n-pasted Composition fallacy.

Kinda makes it hard to essplain how a slew of the Anaheim city council got elected... all Republicans, all Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain all those Indiana Republicans taken down with D.C. Stephenson in my video link.

Also makes it hard to explain Jack Walton, Governor of Oklahoma (Democrat) who tried to drive the Klan out of that state in the wake of the Tulsa Race Riots and was himself removed from office after a push from the Klan.

Also makes it hard to explain how Oscar Underwood, Senator from Alabama that was the leading voice denouncing the Klan, got pushback from the Klan to deny him a spot as a Presidential candidate .... at the 1924 Democratic convention.

Kinda makes it hard to explain why the first POTUS to prosecute the revived Klan was Lyndon Johnson ... Democrat.

Care to essplain why a "wing of the Democratic party" would be working to elect Republicans over its own candidates? Care to tell the class why a party with such a "wing" would be actively prosecuting that "wing"?


Once again for you short-bus kids at the Academy of Denialism committed to smokescreening history --- the Klan was never an organization formed for politics. When it finally did dabble in politics it used the Democrats you listed in the South, the Republicans I list here --- whatever would suit the purpose of the time. Politics was secondary -- the primary thrust was as a social police force, keeping blacks, Liberals, communists, unionists, Catholics, Jews, gays, immigrants and "loose" women "in their place". It was a Christian-based Sharia Law force.


And while you're at it, why don't you tell the class which political party is likely to be associated with blacks, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, unions and gays? You can kind of figure it out by reading the general threads in this Politics section. Then explain to us why a political party would be persecuting its own constituency.

Stop right there. Your source has exposed himself as an illiterate hack. The Democratic Party didn't exist until 1828.



Bullshit. Where those were done they were initiated by local or state governments. Not by a political party.
Political parties do not "legislate".


Bullshit and oversimplified. Tensions between North and South went back to at least the "Tarriff of Abominations" during the Quincy Adams administration. That generated calls for secession in, for one, South Carolina -- the state that was both the first to secede and the site of the first battles -- over 30 years before the War. And that Tariff had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery eventually hitched a ride on what was an already-existing economic quarrel. The idea that "the Civil War was fought over slavery, full stop" is inane oversimplified hackitude that cut-n-pasters like you who can't be bothered to read actual history books lap up like Kool-Aid.


Bullshit. It could not have been revealed, as that never happened. In fact my own Congressional document posted in 467 contradicts you and your cut-n-pasted ignoramus source with no links.


Bullshit. History reveals lynchings. I've posted much on the subject. But it doesnot reveal involvement of any political parties. Prove me wrong.

Interesting you should bring up Tulsa though. The next new governor who took office after the infamous Tulsa Race Riots, Jack Walton, tried to drive the Klan out of Oklahoma. The Klan got him removed from office. Walton was a Democrat. I posted about this earlier too, in the passage about Oscar Underwood and Lyndon Johnson.


Link?


Didn't think so.



Bullshit.

WikiSpeaks: >> The idea of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday was promoted by labor unions in contract negotiations.[2] After King's death, U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) and U.S. Senator Edward Brooke (a Republican from Massachusetts) introduced a bill in Congress to make King's birthday a national holiday. The bill first came to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1979. However, it fell five votes short of the number needed for passage.[3]

.... Soon after, the King Center turned to support from the corporate community and the general public. The success of this strategy was cemented when musician Stevie Wonder released the single "Happy Birthday" to popularize the campaign in 1980 and hosted the Rally for Peace Press Conference in 1981. Six million signatures were collected for a petition to Congress to pass the law, termed by a 2006 article in The Nation as "the largest petition in favor of an issue in U.S. history."[2]

Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the holiday and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".[4] Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.[5][6] <<

Dishonest, link-deficient HACK.

Whether one gets off one's ass and examines history has jack shit to do with what their political party is.

You lose. Liars always do.

Now let's take one last look at exactly what you lost --- the point you started with and then danced away from like Donald Rump mocking somebody's arthrogryposis:

Bzzzzzz wrong. KKK started as a leftist political movement.

As I've documented, it didn't start as a political movement at all, NOR were its founders -- any of them --- "leftists". Actual leftists were among those they were attacking (Republicans). Not because they were leftist (really Liberals) but because they saw them as interlopers. They were what we call today "insurgents", unable to accept having lost the war and military occupation. In that respect they were working in effect* to continue the Civil War.

You figure out what "in effect" means yet? Here it doesn't mean that they literally formed a nation and declared war on the North, but that they committed some of the same kinds of actions that declaring that war would have entailed -- to bring the same result.

That's what we mean by "vigilantes". Those who act outside the structure of law or nation -- individually.

The Klan didn't even get into politics until the 1920s. And when they did --- this happened:

It was fueled by growing hostility to the surge in immigration that America experienced in the early 20th century along with fears of communist revolution akin to the Bolshevik triumph in Russia in 1917. The organization took as its symbol a burning cross and held rallies, parades and marches around the country. At its peak in the 1920s, Klan membership exceeded 4 million people nationwide. <<​

First KKK
>> The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[17] The name is probably derived from the Greek word kuklos which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[18]
Although there was little organizational structure above the local level, similar groups rose across the South and adopted the same name and methods.[19] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.

Second KKK
... In 1915, the second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting in 1921, it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges as commissions to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. Reflecting the social tensions of urban industrialization and vastly increased immigration, its membership grew most rapidly in cities, and spread out of the South to the Midwest and West. The second KKK preached "One Hundred Percent Americanism" and demanded the purification of politics, calling for strict morality and better enforcement of prohibition. Its official rhetoric focused on the threat of the Catholic Church, using anti-Catholicism and nativism.[4] Its appeal was directed exclusively at white Protestants.[21]​

...Third KKK
The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by a numerous independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[25] Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. <<​

The Ku Klux Klan is a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a commitment to extreme violence to achieve its goals of racial segregation and white supremacy.
... At first, the Ku Klux Klan focused its anger and violence on African-Americans, on white Americans who stood up for them, and against the federal government which supported their rights. Subsequent incarnations of the Klan, which typically emerged in times of rapid social change, added more categories to its enemies list, including Jews, Catholics (less so after the 1970s), homosexuals, and different groups of immigrants.

In Pulaski, Tennessee, a group of Confederate veterans convenes to form a secret society that they christen the "Ku Klux Klan." The KKK rapidly grew from a secret social fraternity to a paramilitary force bent on reversing the federal government's progressive Reconstruction Era-activities in the South, especially policies that elevated the rights of the local African American population.

The name of the Ku Klux Klan was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning "circle," and the Scottish-Gaelic word "clan," which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration. Under a platform of philosophized white racial superiority, the group employed violence as a means of pushing back Reconstruction and its enfranchisement of African Americans. Former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the KKK's first grand wizard; in 1869, he unsuccessfully tried to disband it after he grew critical of the Klan's excessive violence. <<​

It was, at first, a humorous social club centering on practical jokes and hazing rituals.

Some of these activities may have been modeled on previous Tennessee vigilante groups such as the Yellow Jackets and Redcaps. In an 1867 convention held in Nashville, the Klan was formalized as a national organization under a Prescript written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general.

... As historian Elaine Frantz Parsons discovered [Parsons p 816]:

"Lifting the Klan mask revealed a chaotic multitude of antiblack vigilante groups, disgruntled poor white farmers, wartime guerrilla bands, displaced Democratic politicians, illegal whiskey distillers, coercive moral reformers, bored young men, sadists, rapists, white workmen fearful of black competition, employers trying to enforce labor discipline, common thieves, neighbors with decades-old grudges, and even a few freedmen and white Republicans who allied with Democratic whites or had criminal agendas of their own." <<​

Refute that, you dishonest revisionist HACK.

HISTORY OF THE KU KLUX KLAN - C.N.K.K.K.K.KENTUCKY

"In a short amount of time the KKK spread throughout the eleven former Confederate States. Membership was kept "secret", as Union Army would "hang" without a "fair trial" any White suspected of being a Klansman. The first convention of the Ku Klux Klan was held at Nashville, Tennessee in May of 1867. The Klan was so "successful" at reestablishing White rule to the South that several Federal Laws were passed against it.
1865 Alien & Sedition Act
1870 & 1871 Two Ku Klux Acts
1868 The State of Tennessee passed a
separate Anti-Ku Klux Statute.
By about 1872 most Southern States were electing White Legislatures, so the Ku Klux Klan was formally "abolished" about 1874."

Dude they're dead.

THAT Klan was extinguished, yes. That's the original one, and had it not been for the 1915 revival, that Klan would be a historical footnote on par with those household terms the "Knights of the White Camellia", the "White League" and other similar groups that also sprung up at the same time, also founded by Confederate vets.

But in 1915 the movie "Birth of a Nation" came out to a public storm of controversy --- this being an excessively racist period of American history that our history books generally take the Fifth Amendment on --- and an opportunist salesman huckster named William Simmons saw gold in them thar ills --- a chance to get rich by exploiting the public xenophobia of the time, railing against immigrants (sound familiar? Earth to Donald....) and also against Jews, Catholics, communists, unions, drinkers (KKK was staunchly Prohibition), and basically anything that wasn't WASP.

Simmons charterd the organization with the state of Georgia and charged up Stone Mountain on Thanksgiving Day 1915 to re-found the Klan, and set it up so that a portion of every membership fee went into his pocket. A few years later (1921) he hired a PR firm to market the group nationally. This is how the Klan penetrated places far off from the South such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, New England, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, some of which I detailed. It was by far the largest penetration and the largest Klan, the one most of its history involves. In Indiana it was estimated that one-third of the state's entire male population was Klan, before D.C. Stephenson's escapade noted above in my video link.

That was one death blow --- Klan membership plummeted after Stephenson. Another one came from the work of another Liberal, Stetson Kennedy, who infiltrated the Klan in the '40s, then wrote an exposé about it, and later worked with an enormously popular national radio show ("Superman") to ridicule it further underground. We haven't gone in to detail on Kennedy (in this thread) but we can. I've brought him up before.

Anyway, Simmons, the founder of the largest Klan iteration, was not politically connected either. By the time the Klan was dabbling in politics in the '20s as outlined above, Simmons had been usurped by a dentist from Texas --- again, not a politician, just another wack hungry for power. Stephenson, who broke off from the main Klan to run Indiana, had been a failed Democrat candidate who then turned Republican. Simply because, in Indiana, that's what would work. Just as in the South, being a Democrat is what would work.

Simmons and Stephenson were both colossal hypocrites, running an operation that purported to be a moral police force, yet involved in drinking, gambling, rape and deep corruption.

And once Stetson Kennedy's Superman episodes had opened national eyes in 1946, the state of Georgia revoked Simmons' charter from three decades prior. Yet another clown named Samuel Green (a doctor, again not a politician) staged a minor 'revival' of his own, mimicking Simmoms' Stone Mountain song and dance. Thankfully Green keeled over and died of a heart attack before he could do much damage. What's left today is a disorganized wisp of history with societal rejects playing dress-up and cheered on by wags like Steve McRacist.

And that's where we are today.

In Pulaski, Tennessee, a group of Confederate veterans convenes to form a secret society that they christen the "Ku Klux Klan." The KKK rapidly grew from a secret social fraternity to a paramilitary force bent on reversing the federal government's progressive Reconstruction Era-activities in the South, especially policies that elevated the rights of the local African American population.

The name of the Ku Klux Klan was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning "circle," and the Scottish-Gaelic word "clan," which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration. Under a platform of philosophized white racial superiority, the group employed violence as a means of pushing back Reconstruction and its enfranchisement of African Americans. Former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the KKK's first grand wizard; in 1869, he unsuccessfully tried to disband it after he grew critical of the Klan's excessive violence. <<​

>> The original Ku Klux Klan was created in an 1865 meeting in a law office by six Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. It was, at first, a humorous social club centering on practical jokes and hazing rituals. From 1866 to 1867, various local units began breaking up black prayer meetings and invading black homes at night to steal firearms. Some of these activities may have been modeled on previous Tennessee vigilante groups such as the Yellow Jackets and Redcaps. In an 1867 convention held in Nashville, the Klan was formalized as a national organization under a Prescript written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general.

... As historian Elaine Frantz Parsons discovered [Parsons p 816]:

"Lifting the Klan mask revealed a chaotic multitude of antiblack vigilante groups, disgruntled poor white farmers, wartime guerrilla bands, displaced Democratic politicians, illegal whiskey distillers, coercive moral reformers, bored young men, sadists, rapists, white workmen fearful of black competition, employers trying to enforce labor discipline, common thieves, neighbors with decades-old grudges, and even a few freedmen and white Republicans who allied with Democratic whites or had criminal agendas of their own." <<​

... History and context:

The first KKK was formed in the American South at the end of the civil war, when the victorious Union government imposed a version of martial law on the south and began to enforce laws designed to end segregation against black citizens. When a constitutional amendment granted black men the right to vote in 1870, the group turned to intimidation and violence to try to halt de-segregation. <<​

>> The original Ku Klux Klan was organized by ex-Confederate elements to oppose the Reconstruction policies of the radical Republican Congress and to maintain "white supremacy." After the Civil War, when local government in the South was weak or nonexistent and there were fears of black outrages and even of an insurrection, informal vigilante organizations or armed patrols were formed in almost all communities. These were linked together in societies, such as the Men of Justice, the Pale Faces, the Constitutional Union Guards, the White Brotherhood, and the Order of the White Rose. The Ku Klux Klan was the best known of these, and in time it absorbed many of the smaller organizations. <<​

They apparently derived the name from the Greek word kyklos, from which comes the English circle; Klan was added for the sake of alliteration and Ku Klux Klan emerged. The organization quickly became a vehicle for Southern white underground resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Klan members sought the restoration of white supremacy through intimidation and violence aimed at the newly enfranchised black freedmen. A similar organization, the Knights of the White Camelia, began in Louisiana in 1867. <<

Find me anywhere in any of those sources anybody anywhere describes a political or in any way "leftist" organization.


Try to **** with me on revisionist bullshit history and you get the horn.

Wait, hold on Hack --- here's a visual image you can deny the existence of too ---

​

The Daughters of the Confederacy put that up on the building, feeling Pulaski hadn't been given its due credit (read: blame) in the film "Birth of a Nation" as the origin of the Klan. That plaque is still there but it's been turned backward so that it reads nothing.

Refute that, you dishonest revisionist HACK.

HISTORY OF THE KU KLUX KLAN - C.N.K.K.K.K.KENTUCKY

"In a short amount of time the KKK spread throughout the eleven former Confederate States. Membership was kept "secret", as Union Army would "hang" without a "fair trial" any White suspected of being a Klansman. The first convention of the Ku Klux Klan was held at Nashville, Tennessee in May of 1867. The Klan was so "successful" at reestablishing White rule to the South that several Federal Laws were passed against it.
1865 Alien & Sedition Act
1870 & 1871 Two Ku Klux Acts
1868 The State of Tennessee passed a
separate Anti-Ku Klux Statute.
By about 1872 most Southern States were electing White Legislatures, so the Ku Klux Klan was formally "abolished" about 1874."

Dude they're dead.

THAT Klan was extinguished, yes. That's the original one, and had it not been for the 1915 revival, that Klan would be a historical footnote on par with those household terms the "Knights of the White Camellia", the "White League" and other similar groups that also sprung up at the same time, also founded by Confederate vets.

But in 1915 the movie "Birth of a Nation" came out to a public storm of controversy --- this being an excessively racist period of American history that our history books generally take the Fifth Amendment on --- and an opportunist salesman huckster named William Simmons saw gold in them thar ills --- a chance to get rich by exploiting the public xenophobia of the time, railing against immigrants (sound familiar? Earth to Donald....) and also against Jews, Catholics, communists, unions, drinkers (KKK was staunchly Prohibition), and basically anything that wasn't WASP.

Simmons charterd the organization with the state of Georgia and charged up Stone Mountain on Thanksgiving Day 1915 to re-found the Klan, and set it up so that a portion of every membership fee went into his pocket. A few years later (1921) he hired a PR firm to market the group nationally. This is how the Klan penetrated places far off from the South such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, New England, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, some of which I detailed. It was by far the largest penetration and the largest Klan, the one most of its history involves. In Indiana it was estimated that one-third of the state's entire male population was Klan, before D.C. Stephenson's escapade noted above in my video link.

That was one death blow --- Klan membership plummeted after Stephenson. Another one came from the work of another Liberal, Stetson Kennedy, who infiltrated the Klan in the '40s, then wrote an exposé about it, and later worked with an enormously popular national radio show ("Superman") to ridicule it further underground. We haven't gone in to detail on Kennedy (in this thread) but we can. I've brought him up before.

Anyway, Simmons, the founder of the largest Klan iteration, was not politically connected either. By the time the Klan was dabbling in politics in the '20s as outlined above, Simmons had been usurped by a dentist from Texas --- again, not a politician, just another wack hungry for power. Stephenson, who broke off from the main Klan to run Indiana, had been a failed Democrat candidate who then turned Republican. Simply because, in Indiana, that's what would work. Just as in the South, being a Democrat is what would work.

Simmons and Stephenson were both colossal hypocrites, running an operation that purported to be a moral police force, yet involved in drinking, gambling, rape and deep corruption.

And once Stetson Kennedy's Superman episodes had opened national eyes in 1946, the state of Georgia revoked Simmons' charter from three decades prior. Yet another clown named Samuel Green (a doctor, again not a politician) staged a minor 'revival' of his own, mimicking Simmoms' Stone Mountain song and dance. Thankfully Green keeled over and died of a heart attack before he could do much damage. What's left today is a disorganized wisp of history with societal rejects playing dress-up and cheered on by wags like Steve McRacist.

And that's where we are today.

dude, you posted it. I bring it to your attention it is done and you now wish to change your story. It was democrats who started the philosophy of the kkk and you just can't argue the point that it wasn't. You just fkn can't you stupid fk.

Robert Byrd

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
.Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.

Cut-n-pasted Composition fallacy.

Kinda makes it hard to explain Edward Jackson -- Governor of Indiana .... Republican. Klan.

KInda akes it hard to explain Rice Means -- Senator from Colorado ... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain Clarence Morley, Governor of Colorado ... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain George Luis Baker, Mayor of Portland Oregon... Republican. Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to essplain how a slew of the Anaheim city council got elected... all Republicans, all Klan.

Kinda makes it hard to explain all those Indiana Republicans taken down with D.C. Stephenson in my video link.

Also makes it hard to explain Jack Walton, Governor of Oklahoma (Democrat) who tried to drive the Klan out of that state in the wake of the Tulsa Race Riots and was himself removed from office after a push from the Klan.

Also makes it hard to explain how Oscar Underwood, Senator from Alabama that was the leading voice denouncing the Klan, got pushback from the Klan to deny him a spot as a Presidential candidate .... at the 1924 Democratic convention.

Kinda makes it hard to explain why the first POTUS to prosecute the revived Klan was Lyndon Johnson ... Democrat.

Care to essplain why a "wing of the Democratic party" would be working to elect Republicans and block Democrats?


Once again for you short-bus kids at the Academy of Denialism committed to smokescreening history --- the Klan was never an organization formed for politics. When it finally did dabble in politics it used the Democrats you listed in the South, the Republicans I list here --- whatever would suit the purpose of the time. Politics was secondary -- the primary thrust was as a social police force, keeping blacks, Liberals, communists, unionists, Catholics, Jews, gays, immigrants and "loose" women "in their place". It was a Christian-based Sharia Law force.


And while you're at it, why don't you tell the class which political party is likely to be associated with blacks, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, unions and gays? You can kind of figure it out by reading the general threads in this Politics section. Then explain to us why a political party would be persecuting its own constituency.

Ignorant HACK.

Never claimed that "there aren't any republican klan members", but the Klan was indeed the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.

True story.

it's ok that Byrd was cause he stated later in life it was a mistake. All forgiven on the libturd's side.

Pogo has this Democratic senator's picture hanging in his trailor:

He was at the Trump rally in full regalia, screaming that Trump supporters are racist, lol.

then that was truly an ironic punch. BTW, the dude most likely won't press charges, cause he doesn't want to face the HR347 issue. hahahahahahahahhaha That Punch will go down in history.

Speaking in black lingo, the idiot disrupter received a "royal ass-whooping" at the hands of that great black American man. It's what happens when leftist fascists meet reality. I would assume the way the black guy was throwing punches, he's definitely had some prior boxing experience.
