About 30 Ku Klux Klan members proclaimed hatred for blacks, Jews, gays and Latinos as they stood behind barricades at the Civil War battlefield where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan also called Saturday for the U.S. to pull its troops out of Iraq and use them to patrol the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration.
The World Knights obtained a permit in July for the two-hour demonstration. The National Park Service granted it under the group's First Amendment rights to free speech.

Big surprise. The KKK and the Anti American Left are merely different sides of the same wacko coin.

There were.
Confederate re-enactors from Virginia protested the Klan's adoption of the Confederate battle flag as an emblem and its claim to be a continuance of the Confederate cause.
"These guys don't stand for anything I stand for," said Tim McCown of Jefferson, Md. "And it's time we disengage our flag from what they stand for."
Representatives of the national Sons of Confederate Veterans also came to protest the Klan's efforts to identify with the Confederacy. In a nearby park, churches and other groups held a Unity Day rally.

The ghosts of the Union Army should have awoken and slayed them all.

"The ghosts of the Union Army should have awoken and slayed them all."
The ghosts of the Confederate Army would have woken up and helped them. The KKK is the total anti-thesis of what the Southern way was about.

I know the government can't do anything to stop these morons because they have freedom of speech, but are we allowed to just shoot their sorry butts?

You couldn't be more wrong . Slavery did not start under the confederate flag . Also for your info 88% of the confederate soldiers who fought in the civil war came from homes that had no slaves or any intrest in the slavery issue . So you are an uninformed ignorant student of American history .
