“NIGHTLINE” TAKES A RARE LOOK INSIDE THE NEW KKK
ABC ^ | Oct 25, 2012 | Alyssa Bernstein

Posted on 10/26/2012 3:50:55 AM PDT by matt1234

A special edition of “Nightline” chronicles a resurgent Ku Klux Klan, with rare access inside Klan groups in both Mississippi and Virginia. Over four months, the “Nightline” team chronicled the reinvigorated white supremacist group, witnessed secretive cross burnings rituals and rallies, met the people beneath the trademark white hoods, and talked to them about their rituals and message of hate. Cynthia McFadden’s exclusive report airs on “NIGHTLINE” on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 (11:35 pm ET) on the ABC Television Network. A portion of McFadden’s report will also air on “WORLD NEWS” (6:30 pm ET)

Setting up a narrative for the explanation of a landslide victory?

Old KKK was the vote suppressing terrorist arm of the Dem Party. The new KKK is a fringe group of cranks. But I’m sure. ABC will find a way to make it about the GOP.

Wow. The KKK is resurgent, JUST IN TIME for the election!

How convenient!

Did they mention yet that most of the new KKK members are Tea Party Members as well?

Same with the new Nazi Party...Tea Partiers too, donchaknow.

I seem to recall a program called “Nightline.” As I recall, every other night they did a story on the KKK. The other nights, it was a panel discussion on diversity training at Vassar.

Yep. Setting up the pitch for the ‘Race Card’ and ‘Guilt Trip’ narrative just as expected about this many days out from Election Day. Get ready for riots the bigger the Romney victory. MSM will egg it on 24/7 but it will be too late.

Whatever the KKK is we need to quit letting the MSM dictate to us what we should think about it.

I hear the KKK is half staffed by undercover FBI.

I don't know. It airs tonight.

BTW, I like your tagline.

“I hear the KKK is half staffed by undercover FBI.”

What the feds do these days is give deals to white collar criminals that they infiltrate organizations and report back. This is for general surveillance. It’s probably illegal to do this without a warrant but the feds think since they aren’t doing the undercover surveillance themselves it’s legal.

Liberals are as predictable as the rising sun. COULD just be coincidence it comes out right now.

As for the Jacobins, isn’t that the truth though? To me, it is one of the black marks against Jefferson, that he supported what was going on even though lots of people tried to warn him.

We can probably guess ahead at what the next stories will be. I’m sure the last story will be about the tea party. Nightline will use riot footage from around the world and pass it off as tea partiers burning down black neighborhoods.

Of course.

Look no further than who ABC’s “expert” is: Mark Potok from the Southern Poverty Law Center. If Potok had his way, he would get the Federal Government to label the GOP as a hate group.

I’d wager its not just the KKK. Its probably any organization they don’t like, such as the boy scouts, tea party, and churches.
