JACKSON, Miss. -- The Mississippi State Fair opens in two weeks, but it's already losing money.
A group with ties to the Ku Klux Klan, called the Nationalist Movement, is planning to set up an information booth at the fair -- a plan that's driving away some businesses and customers.
The group's leader, Richard Barrett, calls it a "pro-majority" group. The Anti-Defamation League calls it white supremacist.
Either way, the group's attempts to set up shop aren't sitting well with the fair commission.
"I've been here for three years and gone to the fair every year," said Ramie Mitchell. "This year, I think the tradition will end. I don't think we'll be there this year."
Mitchell said she won't be bringing her two boys to the fair if Barrett's booth is there.
Barrett said he wants to spread his group's message and honor the Rev. Edgar Killen, who was acquitted in the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County.
Barrett said the booth is an extension of his First Amendment right to free speech.
"You have more freedom today because of what Richard Barrett has won for you in freedom of speech than you had yesterday," Barrett said. "Because of this exhibit and this preacher, you'll have even more freedom tomorrow."
The Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency doesn't want to get caught in the middle. It's pulling its $300 booth from the fair to avoid any association.
"The nature of what's going on over there could upset alot of people," said agency spokeswoman Dani Edmonson. "Aand if we're there, they may not be very happy with us being in the same vicinity of someone like that."
Both the fair commission and Barrett say they've received verbal threats.
"They say, 'I'm gonna find out where you live and stab you and kill you,'" Barret said.
But Barrett said the threats won't dissuade him.
As for Mitchell, she said she won't change her mind about staying away.
"I think it should be an embarrassment to the state," she said. "We ask for outsiders to come here, and it's a slap in the face."
Propaganda doesn't work on peop,le who think for themselves.
You just tried it, and no-one bought your hogwash.
We do award points for effort, but you didn't even try hardenough.
Go away racist troll, stay far away.
LOL - I like the way you think!
That's not true. Its not a "public accommodation" they're running in this case, no more than they'd be required to give the Klan server space on the state website or give them an information booth at the state capitol. The KKK is not a "legitimate" public interest, they're terrorists and racists.
Looks like ya'll did a little house cleaning on this thread.
If anyone reading this IS a Klan member...go f*ck yourself.

Right on the money again FITZ. There is so much hypocrisy.
We have black businessmen organizations, NAACP, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, kids walk around with brown pride shits and all this is totally acceptable, few if anyone ever says a word.
What a bunch of crap.
Er, shirts......Whoops.....
"The purpose of the Mississippi State Fair is to entertain and showcase agriculture in the state, not provide a platform for every wackjob out there with an apple box and a bullhorn."
Granted that the primary purpose of the MS State Fair is to showcase ag products, but it is not the only purpose.
There are lots of politics and other mischief as regular staples there, or at least they were when I grew up in Jackson...

National Association of Black Journalists—www.nabj.org
National Association of Black Accountants
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
There are literally hundreds of organizations like these. Not to mention some out right, radical, political minority organizations. Can you imagine a group called "White Business news"? Or the "White Chamber of Commerce"? Can you imagine the outrage? The boycotts? The threats? These are routinely accepted.
But no one says a word. The king is butt naked.
Thank you for your input.
You're quite welcome.
A Fair can only call it's self a Fair, if all hate groups get equal treatment.
A Fair can only call it's self a Fair, if all hate groups get equal treatment.
And are all charged the same fare to get in.
Fair enough.
Actually I like the idea of them setting up a booth. How about right in front of the shooting rage targets? Or I would even take them in front of the milk bottles at the baseball throw. I bet they would get a lot of attention at either one.
