  • ADL: Senator's Hitler Comparison on Judicial Nominees "Offensive and Insensitive" (Byrd)

    ADL ^ | March 2, 2005 | Abraham H. Foxman
    The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) expressed outrage at the remarks of West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who suggested that some Republican tactics on judicial nominations were similar to Adolf Hitler's use of power in Nazi Germany. In remarks from the Senate floor yesterday, Sen. Byrd compared a Senate rule cutting off debate on nominations to Hitler's use of constitutional means to push legislation through the German Reichstag at the start of the Nazi era. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement: It is hideous, outrageous and offensive for Senator Byrd to suggest that the Republican Party's tactics could...

     March 1, 2005   “JERRY SPRINGER” BETTER STAY IN BRITAIN  The Catholic League has been monitoring plans to bring “Jerry Springer: The Opera” to Broadway for some time, but has refrained from saying anything because the initial plans were scrapped.  However, it is being reported today that if the producers can come up with the cash, they will bring “Springer” to Broadway in spring 2006.  Here is what others have said about the show: The opera "contains up to 8,000 profanities and features tap-dancers dressed as Ku Klux Klan members and a showdown between Satan and a diaper-wearing Jesus." Amidst...

    Condi Rice has garnered the scorn of her Democratic colleagues, not because of what she has accomplished, but because of who and what she is. She is a black American, who is guilty of an unspeakable crime in liberal eyes. Her crime? She does not worship at the altar of the Democratic Party. Condi Rice has committed the unpardonable sin. She has dared to carve out her own political path while black.

    HOWELL, Mich. (AP) - Ku Klux Klan robes sold for up to $1,425 and a KKK knife drew a $400 bid Saturday during an auction of KKK paraphernalia that critics have blasted as insensitive. Auctioneer Gary Gray said a steady stream of people visited the auction house in Howell, about 55 miles west of Detroit, in the hours leading up to the sale, where participants could bid on seven KKK robes and items including buttons, books, movies and a lantern. "Maybe I have taught more people about history, at least this week, than some schools," Gray said. "It's not a...

    The Congress of Racial Equality blasted Sen. Robert Byrd on Thursday for holding up full Senate confirmation for Secretary of State-nominee Condoleezza Rice, denouncing the former Ku Klux Klansman as an unreconstructed "racist." "It's not surprising," CORE spokesman Niger Innis told NewsMax. "Byrd was a racist 50 years ago under the guise of leading the Dixiecrats and he's a non-reformed Dixiecrat today." Innis said the only difference between the Robert Byrd of the 1950s and now is, "He's got black colleagues in the House and the Senate who apologize for him." The Senate had been poised to confirm Dr. Rice...

    The Margaret Sanger Blogspot is pleased to announce its 1st Annual Margaret Sanger at the Ku Klux Klan Rally Art Contest. Margaret Sanger's account of her talk at the Ku Klux Klan Rally can be found below from pages 366-367 of Margaret Sanger An Autobiography (1971 reprint by Dover Publications, Inc. of the 1938 original published by W.W. Norton & Company) : http://michael_mcloughlin.tripod.com/magieandkkk.htmlWhen the Margaret Sanger Blogspot performed a google search for images of this historical event, none could be found. Clearly, there is a critical need for artistic recreations of the historic event. The Big Abortion Industry still holds...
  • Klan Parenthood [ http://www.klanparenthood.com/ klanparenthood]

    http://www.klanparenthood.com/ In America today, almost as many African-American children are aborted than are born. A black baby is now more than three times as likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby. Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent. Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined. Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history. Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics...

    The hoods hiding under the white hoods of the Ku Klux Klan will have to show their faces if they want to protest in New York City, the Supreme Court decided yesterday. The high court put an end to a five-year legal battle yesterday by refusing to hear an appeal of the city's mask ordinance filed by a KKK offshoot group. The group had argued its rights were violated in 1999, when the city barred its members from a masked protest in Foley Square. Seventeen members demonstrated anyway - along with 6,000 counterprotesters. A federal appeals court ruled against the...
  • Margaret Sanger on Her Speech the Ku Klux Klan

    Sanger's account of her talk to the Ku Klux Klan Given Margaret Sanger's preoccupation with race (see previous article), it should come as no surprise to anyone that Sanger would accept an invitation to give a speech to an organization that also has a preoccupation with race - the Ku Klux Klan. Not only did Sanger accept the invitation, but the excerpt below from her own 1938 autobiography indicates the she got along quite well with members of a New Jersey branch of the Ku Klux Klan, eventually getting a "dozen invitations to speak to similar groups." Perhaps this is...

    Taking their message as close to school campuses as they are legally allowed, local abortion opponents have been distributing information to students that compares abortion with racial lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan. About 15 members of a group called Teens for Life appeared late last week outside Rocklin High School and, as students entered campus, distributed brochures depicting a pointed white hood with the statement: "Lynching Is for Amateurs." "Planned Parenthood is accomplishing what the Klan could only dream about," the brochure states underneath a list of statistics about abortion rates among African American women. Typically, the group stands...

    White Supremacists and Counter-Demonstrators Rally at Valley Forge Bill Bergstrom /Associated Press Writer VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (AP) - About 100 white supremacists rallied at Valley Forge National Historical Park on Saturday as nearly twice as many opponents heckled them from a nearby hillside. Both groups were outnumbered by federal law enforcement officers. National Park Service spokesman Phil Sheridan said no arrests were made at the rally site, but one person was arrested after a scuffle in a parking lot. Neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members shouted slogans from a stage at the park, where about 11,000 Revolutionary War soldiers commanded...

    Texas Terror Plot Foiled? Jan 8, 2004 10:20 am US/Eastern DALLAS (CBS) In the East Texas hamlet of Noonday -- known for onions, not anarchy -- federal agents arrested a common-law couple last April. They were hiding a weapons cache, including, as CBS News Correspondent Bob McNamara reports, the makings of a sophisticated sodium cyanide bomb capable of killing thousands. William Krar, 62, with ties to white supremacist groups, pleaded guilty to possessing a chemical weapon and faces life in prison, while 54-year-old Judith Bruey could get five years. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess illegal weapons. "They certainly...

    The following email came from a list member this morning: "Today's Jews are far from perfect! But their enemies are my enemies too. I detest the Arabs. To my way of thinking they are two-faced butchers. It seems as though most of the world's terrorists come from their countries." I got a little carried away with my response, I confess. It felt cleansing, somehow, to list all the reasons why this person was wrong. Maybe it was my being included in the SPLC's recent "List of 40 to Watch," meaning right wingers they have targeted for elimination, wherein I was...

    Former Ku Klux Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd is angry at President Bush - not because he spent taxpayer dollars to pay a congratulatory visit to an aircraft carrier bearing the men and women who helped defeat Saddam Hussein. But instead, says one civil rights leader, Bryd's pique was provoked because the ship in question bore the name of America's Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. That's the contention from Kevin Martin, spokesman for the African-American Republican Leadership Counsel, who served during the Gulf War aboard the USS Lincoln's sister ship. "Senator Byrd has a long association with the Klan that sought to...

    Democratic Senator Robert Byrd came out with criticism of the flight that President Bush took to the USS Abraham Lincoln stating that it was simply a partisan campaign tactic designed to bolster the launching of the president’s election campaign and that it was “an affront” to the efforts of those who died in the liberation of Iraq. Of course this would be news to the compliment of men aboard the vessel as they were absolutely thrilled that a sitting president would come out personally to thank them for putting their lives on the line, something that Bill Clinton was evidently...

    Second Thoughts By William W. Lawrence 04/30/2003 I hope the Republicans for Rendell were not planning to make a routine visit to a doctor this week. They and the rest of us would find the doctor is out to protest the lack of action regarding Pennsylvania's medical malpractice insurance crisis. The doctors, for the most part, are blaming the crisis on greedy tort lawyers. Actually, that is only partly true. The doctors, politicians and insurers should also be held responsible. Fast Eddie set up a blue-ribbon panel to study the matter, but it died on the vine. Meanwhile, take a...

    SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) The leader of a Ku Klux Klan splinter group said Friday he will demonstrate in support of Augusta National Golf Club's all-male membership during the Masters, whether the club likes it or not. "This equal rights stuff has gotten out of hand," said Joseph J. Harper of Cordele, imperial wizard of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. "We're not concerned with whether they want us there or not. We're concerned with their right to choose who they want to choose" as members. Harper wrote the Richmond County Sheriff's Department on Thursday, requesting a permit to...
