My instincts tell me, because I understand exactly how the media uses phony events to promote their cause, especially the cause of accusing all conservatives of being white.
This looks just as phony to me as those planted scenarios at many tea party events. As for a klan rally in a liberal university town just outside of Detroit in the mid 90s? May have happened, but I doubt it was big. I haven’t seen anything like that in eastern NC in 50 years...let alone the 90s....
But that’s beside the point....to me it just smacks of the very same thing done at tea party rallies in the past couple of years. Having hyper instincts is a burden sometimes....
Well, as someone else noted, they were in Ann Arbor when this happened. I also lived in the Midwest at this time and there was a resurgence of Klan rallies in the mid 90s. The Klan presence was never very large, but the counter demonstrations sometimes drew a large presence. So the rallies did happen, we saw them. The particular story here, the pictures do seem convincing. It’s either completely staged, which is not the left’s typical MO, or they convinced some stupid actor to put on a fake SS tattoo and risk getting killed by a violent crowd.
I agree with you that left is very good at creating convincing lies, but this doesn’t seem like one of them.
