Have you ever met a Klansman or seen any of their *literature*? I've met one, and he was so stereotypical it was funny. Pot-belly, hair on the shoulders showing underneath the white sleeveless t-shirt, one middle front tooth missing. He tried to hand me a very poorly xeroxed brochure, and I wish so much I had kept it as a collector's item. Dumb doesn't begin to describe it. If dumbnitude were a virtue, that man would have been an archangel.

I was on the way back from Dallas one time and they had a live interview on the radio with the "Southwest Regional Public Relations officer" or some such. This guy was the dumbest guy I had ever heard speak and had no idea how to pronounce half the words he used. I had to wonder if they had actually chosen their most articulate spokesperson for this position. Probably so.

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)

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.

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.
