Lest we forget...

For decades after the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party. Klansmen murdered hundreds of Republican activists and office-holders, including U.S. Representative James Hinds (R-Arkansas).
On this day in 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed and the Republican President, Ulysses Grant, signed into law the Ku Klux Klan Act. The law banned the KKK and other Democrat terrorist organizations. President Grant then deployed federal troops to crush a Klan uprising in South Carolina.
Eleven years later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned most provisions of the Act. Though legalized, this original version of the Ku Klux Klan faded. Why? Because as Democrats regained control over southern state governments, they could oppress African-Americans openly, without need of sheets. See

Outlaw what’s left of the KKK, the Democrat Party.
“The Aryan Nation and the KKK were completely seperate and it would be eroneous to lump them together. Most members are peacful and its only the violence of a few extremists. We shouldn’t judge the whole movement by those violent few”

Hey the exact same above logic works for Islam in the PC/MSM world.
More like for a century.
