With all this racist talk showing up in the media and blogs, I thought it would be good to post a short photo primer on knowing your racist. Distribute freely because it's always a good idea to know one when you see one. Edisto Joe The Edisto Joe Outlook

A proud democrat around March 28, 1968 Senator Byrd said Dr. King ran like a "scared rabbit". Sheets Byrd.

Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations on the House floor, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke Wilson is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history. In an obvious reference to the KKK, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will put on "white hoods and ride through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example. ~~ The punishment is expected take the form...

Here is pathetic video of Democrat Rep. Henry "Hank" Johnson saying today that GOP Rep. Joe Wilson must be censured by the House. Otherwise, he said racists would feel free to say whatever they please, and we will wind up with the KKK riding through the countryside with sheets on! I kid you not. This is beyond outrageous. Joe Wilson said "You Lie," as Obama made policy statements. He never said a word about race. Democrats are devoid of the ability to accept any disagreement on issues. It is always about race. . . (VIDEO)

Via the Blog Prof. Nothing new here — remember, James Clyburn already compared town-hall protesters to goons who attacked civil-rights marchers — but between this and Howard Kurtz’s argument this morning that it’s racist to shout at Obama about the Constitution, I think the “post-racial presidency” can be safely pronounced dead and buried.

Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations from his colleagues, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke the South Carolina Republican is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history. In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked.

Moe Lane has a disgusting post. Oh. it isn't disgusting because of what HE wrote, but because of the disgusting graphic that makes fun of tea party goers.

Video footage showing John Dingell comparing townhall healthcare protests to the KKK

John Dingell (D-Mich) on MSNBC: Well, the last time I had to confront something like this was when I voted for the civil rights bill and my opponent voted against it. At that time, we had a lot of Ku Klux Klan folks and white supremacists and folks in white sheets and other things running around causing trouble. Note to Think Progress: You're supposed to blog about things that will hurt Republicans, not Democrats. George Soros is going to be very very angry at you.

The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white, according to a new television program and book, which describe how the Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats. An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964. The documentation has been assembled by David Barton of Wallbu More..ilders and published in his book "Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White," which reveals that not only did the Democrats work hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for...

LOS ANGELES -- City Council chambers went dark early Wednesday after a man refused to remove his white robe and hood before speaking. It was the second day that Michael Hunt wore the outfit to the meeting. Hunt, an African American, submitted a card to speak during the standard public comment period and was called to the microphone by Councilman Dennis Zine, who was the presiding officer. "Mr. Hunt, you're going to have to remove your hood," Zine told Hunt twice. "Are you refusing to remove your hood? ... Mr. Hunt, we can't hear you. Remove your hood." Hunt refused...

US national Micky Louis Mayon, one of the FBI's 100 most wanted criminals, was apprehended in an apartment in Tel Aviv's Florentine neighborhood Sunday by a newly-created task force dealing with illegal immigration. Mayon, 33, is wanted in the US for several federal crimes, including membership in the Ku Klux Klan, the burning of vehicles belonging to federal judges and several charges of severe violence. According to intelligence information relayed by Interpol, Mayon has been residing in Israel illegally since entering the country in 2008 and has changed his location every couple of days since his arrival. Mayon was transferred...

The modern GOP was created in 1965 with a stroke of Lyndon Johnson's pen. If that is an exaggeration, it is not much of one. When Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, he made a prediction: In committing the unpardonable sin of guaranteeing the ballot to all citizens regardless of race, he said, he would cause his party to lose the South ``for a generation.'' And indeed Southern Democrats, who for a century had bombed schools, lynched innocents, perverted justice and terrorized millions in the name of intolerance, responded by leaving their ancestral party in droves. They formed the base...

Byrd aides studying mountaintop removal miningby The Associated Press Tuesday June 16, 2009 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Aides to Sen. Robert C. Byrd are in southern West Virginia for what they call a three-day fact-finding tour about mountaintop removal mining. **SNIP** But the West Virginia Democrat issued a statement Tuesday saying his aides will see mountaintop mining operations firsthand. They will meet with coal industry officials, environmentalists and citizens. They'll also inspect flood recovery efforts and talk to people about fears that mining may have made the damage from the spring floods worse. Byrd says the Obama administration's plan to increase...

Tancredo: La Raza is "Latino KKK" Anti-immigration crusader and former Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo was on CNN this afternoon whacking Sonia Sotomayor for her association with the National Council of La Raza, which was listed in a 2000 American Bar Association bio of the judge. "If you belong to an organization called La Raza, in this case... which is from my point of of view any way... nothing more than a ... Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses. If you belong to something like that in a way that's going to convince me and a lot of...

White Supremacists and Anti-Semites Plan to Recruit at July 4 Tea Parties Posted: May 18, 2009 http://www.adl.org/main_Extremism/White_Supremacists_July_4_Tea_Parties.htm The Tea Party phenomenon, which began with anti-tax rallies staged across the country on April 15, 2009, will continue as activists in almost every state are planning similar events on July 4. Notably, white supremacists are again planning to participate. As they have done with other political and social issues, for example, promoting the Ron Paul campaign and using the immigration debate, white supremacists and anti-Semites are planning to exploit Tea Parties to disseminate their hateful views and recruit a larger following. Extremists...

Please post the picture of Robert Byrd in his Grand kleagle outfit. I have an ex-friend who thinks I am lying about Byrd being a KKK officer.

Kansas-It all started as a school project for a class of 7th graders at Andover Middle School. The topic: the effects of racism and oppression in 1930s America. Students had recently read Mildred Taylor's 1976 novel, "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." The book deals with issues faced by African Americans in the first half of the 20th century. But one student's work is catching the attention of more than just his teachers and classmates. Wichita's NAACP is now looking into a complaint filed by another student's mother, who took offense to one project in particular. The complaint stems from...

Clinton to appear at Planned Parenthood event Doing a rare domestic political event, and continuing the Obama administration's forceful, if understated alliance with abortion-rights groups, Hillary Clinton will receive an award from Planned Parenthood Friday night in Houston, the group says. "The 2009 Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) Margaret Sanger Award, the organization’s highest honor, will be presented to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been a champion of women’s health and rights throughout her public service career," according to the release. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is an old Clinton ally, and women's health was...

Hitler's Mideast helpers Arabs were cheerleaders and enablers of the Final Solution. Max Boot December 20, 2006 MAHMOUD Ahmadinejad has an impeccable sense of timing. Just a week after the Iraq Study Group recommended a heart-to-heart with him, the president of Iran convened a conference in Tehran to examine whether the Holocaust really occurred. The answer from such "scholars" as David Duke, the notorious former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, was a resounding no. On one level, Ahmadinejad's embrace of Holocaust denial might seem surprising. A man who has repeatedly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map" surely...

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest serving Democratic senator, is criticizing President Obama’s appointment of White House “czars” to oversee federal policy, saying these executive positions amount to a power grab by the executive branch. In a letter to Obama on Wednesday, Byrd complained about Obama’s decision to create White House offices on health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change. Byrd said such positions “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances. At the worst, White House staff have taken direction and control of programmatic areas that are the statutory responsibility of Senate-confirmed officials.” While it's...

Though Lincoln has already been canonized by those who settle for partial histories, in the words of John Adams, "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." In our steadfast adherence to The Patriot Post's motto, Veritas Vos Liberabit ("the truth shall set you free"), and our mission to advocate for the restoration of constitutional limits on government, I am compelled to challenge our 16th president's iconic standing. Lincoln is credited with being the greatest constitutional leader in history, having "preserved...

Apparently the Super Bowl ad didn't get enough attention.

FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. - A local sheriff's office said Ku Klux Klan recruitment fliers and photos ended up in his mailbox.The sheriff said one of the men seen in it was a police officer.The photo sparked an internal investigation by the Fruitland Park Police Department, and now one of its officers has resigned in the wake of the allegations.The first complaint surfaced three weeks ago, when the Sumter County Sheriff's Office said someone was putting up KKK recruitment fliers around town.Investigators said a post office box connected to the fliers came back to Fruitland Park police Officer James Elkins.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Ku-Klux Klan are probably two organizations that don't draw any immediate parallels in the minds of most Americans. When the 133rd annual Westminster Dog Show airs on the USA Network next week, it is probably a safe bet that the last things that will pop into the skulls of the sane are burning crosses, lynchings and white hoods.Then, of course, there's PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) - the radical organization of unhinged moonbats that advocates moral and legal equality between human beings and animals. This is the same fanatical...

Here is video of ex-KKK member, Elwin Wilson, who beat Rep. John Lewis at a South Carolina bus station nearly 50 years ago apologizing to Rep. Lewis and talking to him. The two were interviewed on CNN yesterday, February 7, 2009. This is a very moving interview. It demonstrates the capacity of people to change. Mr. Wilson indicated he has received hate calls as a result of issuing his apology. . . . . . . (Watch Video)

Geithner still passes confirmation, sworn in Monday WASHINGTON -- West Virginia Senator Robert C Byrd (D-WV) voted against the confirmation of Timothy Geithner's Senate Confirmation for Secretary of Treasury citing the nominee's snafus with his own taxes. Despite the nay votes, Geithner confirmation passed the senate Monday night 60-34 with four not voting. Geithner came under fire earlier this month when it was revealed his 2002 to 2006 taxes were not properly filed. In all Geithner has paid already $25,000 in back taxes with more expected to be paid. Following the vote, Sen. Byrd issued his reason for voting against...

Hate groups and militias across the country, known to thrive on feelings of economic desperation and political impotence, are eyeing 2009 as a year of awakening. "Every time the television shows an image of Obama it will be a reminder that our people have lost power in this country," said a recent posting on an Arkansas-based Ku Klux Klan Web site. "The betrayal will stare them in the face each time they watch the news and see little black children playing in the rose garden." For all the racial optimism that comes with Barack Obama's presidency, there is concern in...

Ted Kennedy was taken out of the Statuary Hall luncheon after suffering an apparent seizure -- a few minutes after Sen. Robert Byrd was removed in his wheelchair under the supervision of medical personnel. Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating, according to a witness. Kennedy, who underwent brain cancer surgery last year, was taken to the Rayburn room. A police radio picked up a call for paramedics to help someone stricken with a seizure, according to Politico's Patrick Kennedy.

President-elect Obama was seen at the Lincoln Memorial today. This, coupled with the fact that tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day, presents a bit of irony. Lincoln was a tyrant. Yes, you heard me correctly. We all know the revisionist history version that is drilled in us every year in the public school system - the government-funded Orwellian brainwash system: Honest Abe who saved the Union and Freed the Slaves. Too bad none of it is true. Good ol’ Abe was fairly ambivalent about the whole slavery thing for most of his career. However, during the presidential debate he said...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hate crimes experts and law enforcement officials are closely watching white supremacists across the country as Barack Obama prepares next week to be sworn in as the first black president of the United States. So far, there is no known organized effort to express opposition to Obama's rise to the presidency other than a call by the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for its members to wear black armbands as well as fly the U.S. flag upside down on Inauguration Day and Obama's first full day in office. As Tuesday approaches, when Obama stands outside...

Is Ehud's Poodle Acting Up? As Israel entered the third week of its Gaza blitz, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regaled a crowd in Ashkelon with an astonishing tale. He had, said Olmert, whistled up George Bush, interrupted him in the middle of a speech and told him to instruct Condi Rice not to vote for a U.N. resolution Condi herself had written. Bush did as told, said Olmert. The crowd loved it. Here is the background. After intense negotiations with Britain and France, Secretary of State Rice had persuaded the Security Council to agree on a resolution calling for a...

"Patriotism is the love of a land and its people, nationalism is the love of a government." ~ Dr. Clyde Wilson Reading some recent blog posts, editorials, and comments condemning Robert E. Lee as a traitor coming from those who consider themselves serious Civil War scholars, convinces me that these individuals have no fundamental understanding of federalism and how many 19th century Americans viewed their home states . . .

It's up to us to tell others about this.

Anyone who spends time reading message boards related to online news articles today can see things that are readily self evident. One of these self evident truths is that today's political and theological left still very much represent the racism they did when they initiated a secret society named the Ku Klux Klan. They do so in the policies they argue for and more importantly in the criticism they level against those who are brave enough to take action. Their anti-war extremism is one of the most telling signs. But don't merely take my word for it. Here is a...

The Republican Party paid a steep price for race-baiting in the presidential campaign. Remember the ferocious backlash against the California Republican group that produced a racist newsletter depicting Barack Obama on a food stamp, surrounded by images of fried chicken and watermelon? Then there were those two congressmen who were rightly excoriated for condemning Mr. Obama’s candidacy in the language of the Jim Crow South — one describing him as a “boy” and the other as “uppity.” We thought after all that — and, oh yes, losing the election — everyone in the Republican Party leadership would have figured out...

Shocking Charge: Obama Presidency Illegal! Globe Special Report He was born in this FOREIGN HOSPITAL [picture of Coast Province General Hospital, Mombasa, Kenya] President-elect Barack Obama was born in a hospital nearly 8,000 miles from the United States and is NOT legally eligible to run the country!

 So many benevolent Jews lose big money to one twisted [Madoff] guy and anti Jewish bigots applause   So many benevolent Jews lose so much money to one twisted [Madoff] guy and anti Jewish bigots applause. Worth mentioning --at this juncture-- the unknown fact that 'most donations by Jews go to non-Jewish causes.' The again, what is classic garbage of anti-Semitism if not picking one 'bad' Jew and omitting all 'good' Jews? The very first self proclaimed "writer" to dance the evil dance was no other than the already infamous Nazi: HERR Jöran Jerma, that has adapted (among a list of...

A Memphis-area businessman who served 12 years in prison for torching a Kentucky church for the Ku Klux Klan in 1991 said Monday he has been unfairly excluded from a major contract in Coahoma County, Miss., because of his criminal past. Brian Tackett, president of Memphis-based Tackett Excavating Inc., called his crime a mistake and disavowed the KKK. He said he plans to sue Coahoma County officials and is now negotiating with a lawyer. His company was formerly based in Southaven, but it moved to Memphis about a year ago. "It was stupid. ... I got caught up in the...

David Huntwork Obama’s “Natural Born” Problem 2008-12-12 at 11:15 am · Filed under 2008, Law, North America, OP/ED, Politics, Society, Vox Populi By now you are probably aware that there have been a multitude of lawsuits filed in regards to the question of whether or not President-elect Barack Obama is in fact eligible under the “natural born” provision of the Constitution of the United States of America to be the President of the United States. The Constitutional provisions are very specific when it comes to the minimal qualifications for President. One is to be over thirty-five. He is. Two, is...

Thursday November 20, 2008 It is time for Sen. Byrd to retire His 50 years are long enough HIS friends won't tell him this, so maybe the one guy in West Virginia who is not a fan of Robert C. Byrd should tell him: It is time to retire from the Senate. Fifty years is enough. His is a remarkable story. Byrd's rise from the hardscrabble of Sophia in Raleigh County to being a couple of heartbeats from the presidency is a story that should live on at least in West Virginia lore. After a nice run as Senate Democratic...

In the wake of a weekend slaying tied to a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual, Washington Parish authorities said they are surprised to learn the group was based in their area. A Tulsa, Okla., woman who traveled to Louisiana to join the Ku Klux Klan was shot to death by the leader of the group's Bogalusa chapter Sunday after she tried to back out of initiation rites at a remote, sandbar camp in northeastern St. Tammany Parish, authorities said Tuesday. An investigation Monday resulted in the arrests of eight members of the Klan branch, which had flown under the radar...

A woman found slain in rural St. Tammany Parish on Monday was shot to death by the head of a Ku Klux Klan chapter from Bogalusa after she tried to back out of an initiation ritual, St. Tammany Parish authorities announced Tuesday. Investigators have not positively identified the woman yet, but believe she is from the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said. She apparently had come to Louisiana by bus after applying to join the organization over the Internet and had intended to start recruiting others in Oklahoma, he said. The woman and eight members of...

Now this is change we can believe in. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia), the unapologetic king of congressional pork, has been forced out of his position as chairman and chief dispenser of goodies for the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Politico reports Senate legend Robert Byrd, approaching 91 this month and hailing a “new day in Washington,” said he would voluntarily give up the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee with the new Congress. “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven,” said Byrd, who had fended off earlier challenges this past spring and summer....

The lingering controversy over whether to drop the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School, which celebrates a former Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader, should come to an end early next month. The Duval County School Board decided Tuesday to vote on the issue at its monthly board meeting on Nov. 3. The meeting is open to the public and will have a public comment period....

A McLennan County district court jury early Wednesday evening returned a guilty verdict in the capital murder trial of Robert Allen Byrd, 34, who was accused of kidnapping and killing Dana Leigh Taylor of Kemp. Prosecutors said Byrd and the victim were both affiliated with the violent white supremacist group the Aryan Circle.
