Howard Stern often has Daniel Carver on his show. The guy is something like "The Grand Poohbah" of the KKK.

He'd better NOT be calling himself exactly that, or he's gonna find out that this here Universe ain't big enough fer the two of us.

But sales remain brisk for their pre-labor day 1/2 off white linen special.

To the first three of you, yes, they can be "unwittingly" funny.

To GSC, it's the young neo-nazis that could be a problem.

Or, more in keeping with the media's practice, they probably shelved the interview until they could corner some illiterate, hairy shouldered mumbler and pay him to spit a few words into the microphone. They know that it never hurts to perpetuate a stereo-type, especially not when there are still people out there who fall for it (ahem)

Ah, I have fallen for a bad stereotype of white supremacists. I just don't know no better I guess.

...hopefully we can put all the Idaho/Alabama skin-heads and nazis and Aryan Nations' volk into one big pit in the ground, along with the Trotskyites, the Socialist Vanguards and the PETA-ites, and have them get into one massive pummeling fest until none of their respective species are left standing on this good, green earth......

[Poohbah]

And broadcast it on pay-per-view, and make lots of money!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Losers. They've checked out on life because of their own self-generated/self-perpetuated backwoods stupidity.

But, gotta have SOMEONE to blame for their being at the bottom of the trailer park trash pile with no hope for rising above it. Best it be someone 'not their type.'

That's I 'spose why people join the Klan in the first place. Misery loves company.

To all who are interested, know this: Our motto is "Heritage, not Hate". There are Black men who are elegible to join us. Gentlemen, you are welcome

Many people, including Tom Clancy, have us mixed up with the KKK. Folks, It just isn't so.

Also know this: We are partiotic Americans who believe that the United States of America is the hope of the world.

[Terriergal]

yikes. They get free advertising on WalMart grounds. Wal Mart has signs posted for "no soliciting," even.

[Arkinsaw]

A lovely turn of phrase, that.

Oh thats nothing, I know folks who say:

I went down on up air(there) to the store.

Oddly enough, this seems only to be used in the past tense. You wouldn't normally say "I AM going down up there to the store"

[lavaroise]

Why do I smell a KKK demonRAT??

I love his voice too: WAAKE Ewp WHIITE PAPEL!

I no longer listen to Howard Stern (lowlife Hamptons socialite hypocrite), but will never forget when Carver gave Boys in the Band (a GAY movie and I don't mean the Flinstones sense of the word) THREE BURNING CROSSES!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Does this mean that we might see Wal Mart senior citizen 'greeters' in white bedsheets in the not-too-distant future?

And you're from ARKANSAS! I bet you and Roger Clinton get together for a pig pickin with some state Troopers and Razorback coeds, singing something by the Outlaws. There, I am done stereotyping.

[Clemenza]

There was also a rapper a few years back, who called himself Grand Poohbah. He was with a group called Brand Nubian. I don't like most rap, but I must admit they were pretty good.

Yeah, them white supremacists need to be defended cause they have all the ugly stereotypes about them being.....well....white supremacists.

Ditto.

{chuckle}

In not so nice news, I had a bar buddy who was an avowed white supremacist. We used to tussle verbally but he was always straight forward and honest. Very smart guy, just a little off. I just found out how off a month ago. Apparently he was gay and his skinheads buddies found out and did a tap dance on his head. Sadly ironic.

They were good.

Slow down...

Ah, I have fallen for a bad stereotype of white supremacists. I just don't know no better I guess.

The depiction of the toothless, pot-bellied hater, holding a beer and cussing about "them coloreds" is the modern day equivelant to the fantastical depictions of sea-serpents under the cartographers warning "Here there be dragons".

Certainly, these guys are out there, their beliefs are easy to dismiss and their grooming habits are well, distateful, but they are far from a "normal" representative for entire the anti-PC movement. But the fallacious association represents the biggest gun in the liberals arsenal. I've seen intelligent, well spoken people draw up in fear at the thought of openly expressing non-PC sentiments in large part because they fear being branded with this "toothless wonder" archetype. It's a universal template, one-size fits all and it's quickly applied to anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda.

That's why I called you on it. It's dead wrong.
