It's believed to be the first such meeting in history and was called by the Casper branch of the NAACP because the KKK has been distributing flyers in the economically depressed Wyoming coal town of Gillette, where there has also been a rash of hate crime recently.
2. From the Star-Tribune: "[Abarr] says he's seen a rush of recruits due to the presidency of Barack Obama—mostly men in their 20s and 30s, angry, violent and ready for action. 'What I like to do is recruit really radical kids, then calm them down after they join,' he says. Sometimes recruits will decide Abarr's Klan isn’t hateful enough and go somewhere else. As long as recruits look white and think white, that's good enough for Abarr, even though some potential recruits have 'confessed' to him they’re quarter Mexican."
I don't trust anything they say. Don't sound right. The Klan is alive and waiting for the perfect time to strike. Andwith the new gun laws in place it won't be that long. Something else to blame Our black president for. Joining the NAACP is a joke. Giving charity to the N####s Don't trust the smiling face people, they lie.

Something weird is going on with my page. I came to the comments via the blog's guts.
This post is not showing up on my front page.
Score update: Red Sox 5, Tigers 4. Bottom of the six.
I can open/see the post via the mobile ap and comment. As im doing right now. The web page via my computer however, the post does not come up.
Red Sox break the game wide open with a bunch of hits, walks and a grand slam. They lead Detroit 13 to 4.

The Klan is democrats. Interesting to see two opposing democrat groups sitting with each other to talk about their opposition.
Does anyone know HOW MANY people are in the Klan? They seem to get a LOT of publicity for a group that has no media/financial/legal power of any kind.
So, they must be such a threat - and so fascinating to all - because of their great numbers and organized might.
I thought that money was tainted, because it came from a Klansman.
The NAACP has gone soft.
What are the differences in the objectives of the two groups?
That meeting was more racially diverse than any meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus.
The Klan is democrats.
Only if you pick your historical windows carefully.
I knew people in the Klan growing up in the south. One was a co-worker. The other was a good friend.
In today's terms, though it's politically incorrect on the right to say so, they are Tea Party folks with an overlay of toxic racial beliefs.
Klan-type people have much more in common with commenters on this blog than they do with those on Daily Kos.
What are the differences in the objectives of the two groups?
Obviously each favors its own racial group.
They are like rival motorcycle gangs. To an extent they can coexist and even cooperate as long as they control their own turf.
Klan people are not nearly as stupid and hateful as the Narrative supposes.
But the Klan belief system is ultimately as toxic as that of Black Power in its various guises, including the one held by the current occupant of the White House.

Last I checked, a few thousand.
The Klan and related white identity organizations were effectively broken by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the DOJ in the eighties. Those organizations were sued out of existence. My friend served ten years in prison.
The Klan and its allies serve a very useful purpose for liberal Two-Minute Hates.
Which is not to say, however, that the Klan point of view is insignificant. There are plenty of people who sympathize, and more are pushed in that direction everday by the Obama administration. Each time I go back to Boston to visit I discover how much further the white trash part of my family is moving in Klan directions.

I guess there is a first time for everything.
The SPLC is a terrorist organization.

Absurdist speculation.

This tells me you know very little if anything about the Klan or any of the other white supremacist groups. I know a fair amount just from living across the street from the late Robert Miles (former KKK head in Michigan) and his "Mountain Church" establishment for a period of time.
I can think of no one commenting here who is remotely similar to anyone in the KKK or various off shoots.
"The Klan and its allies serve a very useful purpose for liberal Two-Minute Hates"
Exactly. The Liberals and MSM want to create a monster on the right so they can keep up the scare and foment racial division. I wish conservatives would stop playing their game, but evidently they love enabling the left.
There have been different Klans at different times. I've only met one Klan member, about twenty-five years ago - she was a member of our church, and my mother was on speaking terms with her. She started rattling on about private schools in the south when I tried to figure out why she'd have done something so abhorrent. So, in my one-person-a-quarter-century-ago sample, Kluxers have more in common with homeschoolers than the Tea Party.
Anyways, there's been at least four Klans over the years. Only one of them was even fifty-fifty Republican, back during prohibition, and even then, the Klan was so powerful in the Democratic Party that the 1924 party convention is known as "the Klanbake".
Aridog: I said that Klan people have more in common with commenters here than those on Daily Kos. My response was to Methedras who believes that the Klan is somehow a wing of the Demomcrats. That was true after Civil War and into the 1960s but not today.
I may not have lived across the street from them, but I knew people in the Klan, talked with them about it, read their literature and bulletin board discussions, watched videos of their interviews, and read books about it.
I was trying to understand what happened to my friend, who was a remarkable guy -- the son of a high school principal, an Eagle scout and a Green Beret, then became a major figure in the southeastern Klan in the eighties and eventually went to prison for it.
Like commenters here, Klan people tend to be from the working class, middle class, and military. They are intensely skeptical of big government and most of what comes out of liberal academia. They hate communism and the left. They believe white liberals are in political cahoots with minority groups for power. They believe today's government is hostile to their interests. They see our country in serious decline. They would like to be left alone but know they won't be.
Unlike commenters here, Klan people have dangerous, looney beliefs about race and religion that cover a wide spectrum. My friend, for instance, came to believe that the term "Chosen People" in the Bible is code for the White Race.
So leftists love communism, love big government and high tax rates to hire the overlords, want the country to decline and like to meddle in everyone's business.
Tell us something we didn't know.
Oh yeah, leftists are racists - so they do have that in common with NAACP and the KKK.
Of course one thing that unites the Klan, Daily Kos and a regrettable number of participants here is a preference for striking reactionary tribal poses over substantive discussion.

You are going to impugn people who comment here or even tea party folks as being in common with the klan in their beliefs? Seriously? Are you in effect saying that for example I'm more in line with the klan? I'd be offended if I didn't have time between laughing so hard at the idea.

The klans origin is that from Democrats. Whole swaths of klansmen were proud democrats and southern democrats at that. The democrat party has spend trillions to white wash that shit. The demographic of the clan may have changed, but it's political affiliations are still rooted in leftist democrat ideology.
What ever the Klan is now, they are not what they used to be. They don't have the resources to sponsor rallies and marches, hold ceremonial cross burnings, put up billboards saying 'This is Klan country' or showing MLK in a communist training class at Mount Eagle TN, publish newspapers like 'The Fiery Cross', own office buildings and real estate developments, or get interviewed by Playboy.
I think they are now mostly represented by someone with letterhead saying 'Imperial Wizard' on it and a few of drunk skinheads at the local biker bar.
