As a former Klan leader is charged with killing three in Kansas, the frayed white supremacy group is trying to attract new members. The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates the number of hate groups in the U.S. has risen from 602 in 2000 to 939 in 2013
The Ku Klux Klan was once a major force in America, with a membership of nearly 4 million that regularly included mayors, chiefs of police and other grandees of segregated regions, especially in the South and Midwest. It’s been decades since the Klan held that sort of mainstream sway, but Sunday’s deadly rampage at two Jewish community facilities in Overland Park, Kan. serves as a reminder that the nation’s best known white supremacy organization has not completely disappeared.

Yes, the Democrats are working hard to retake the House.
All democRats
“The Ku Klux Klan was once a major DEMOCRAT CREATED force in America...”
Fixed what they intentionally left out.
The press just loves to demonize whites. In spite of that it is about damn time whites started standing up and speaking up for themselves.
Makes me think of Bette Davis’ comeback in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”.
agitprop
Yep it sure is, maybe the next KKK member will run as a Dem just like that schmuck did
A nice bit of fear-mongering to motivate one’s base.
They should invent some brutal new form of racial violence, they could call it “the knock-out game”.
That way they could make entire communities off limits to other races, and let it be known that being caught in that part of town after dark, is a likely death sentence.
Yesterday a KKK guy killed two people. How many people were killed by “teens” yesterday?
And to hell with them for creating fear and resentment to further their political ideology.
The MSM is the largest hate group in the nation.
I done think it’s quite that black and white....
Doh doh doh...
Southern Poverty Law Center... Liberal azzholes so whatever they say is meaningless anyway.
Sounds like the Obama Flying Monkeys from the Southern Poverty Law Center and every other Soros/Acorn/Obamabot group and web site hysterically trying to get the news away from Thug Holder, Benghazzi, the BLM, IRS, The FBI, the CIA, criminal elected morons, etc...
A disaster in their tiny minds.
But a tiny threat compared to an unconstitutional criminal activist regime...
Compared to that crowd, the KKK are Boy Scouts.
nick ... I have no link but am hearing this perp also was a suspect in the murder of three homosexuals in N.C. Perp did testify at the murder trial in N.C. Lame-stream is pulling out all the stops to blame this on white Christians, in my neck of the woods, when the truth is something far different. No surprises, thus far.
Old Morris Dees has carved out a very nice living over 40+ yrs riding that one trick pony....
The SPLC is a hate group

I bet they've dumped 10 tons of fund-raising letters into the mail citing Mr. Bundy and supporters as dangerous haters, KKK, white supremacists, "tesbaggers", conservatives, veterans, FReepers . . . .
