If, instead, they suddenly jerked the masks off these Klansmen there would be a bunch of Lefties standing there.

[digger48]

If the KKK would just donate a little cash to the DNC, they'd be welcomed with open arms just like other domestic terrorist groups....ALF, ELF, PETA, ACLU

What the Dems do to minorities who stray from the Liberal "plantation", is right in line with the Klan.

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.

Hmmm. The left will protest this decision as it will ALSO require black masked agitprop antiwar socialists to SHOW THEIR FACES as well.

All Sharpton knows that he needs the KKK to balance out his own racist politics.

The city ordinance forbids gatherings of three or more masked or hooded people - unless they are attending "a masquerade party or like entertainment."

"Klan protest in New York: Five scared looking guys surrounded by 30,000 screaming counterprotesters..."

LOL. Good one.

Sorry...weegee beat me to it. :)

Since the law was dusted off to stop the KKK rally, it has been used generally against left-wing protesters

Let's call it "The Anonymous Idiots" law.

Must be Southern New York - everyone knows the Klan doesn't exist up north. < /sarc >

I do not like the KKK or support them in anyway. HOWEVER_ for as long as I have to put up with the rights of everyone from NAMBLA , the ACLU and every other type of anarchist and leftist weirdo-

I am going to say this is not right.

I know you ar joking, but, as a matter of fact, the modern KKK was pretty well represented in NY - Upstate and Central NY. It was primarily directed at Catholics, rather than Blacks from 1920 till 1950 or so.

In my old home town of Washingtonville, a large cross was burned a number of times on top of Woodcock Mountain during the 30s.

How about a compromise: they can wear their hoods, but they get no police protection, and the city doesn't have to pay for any hospitalization.

I did a term paper on the Klan's anti-Catholicism roots. People are always shocked to hear that.

I fully support this ruling. It drives me nuts to see these effing weasels in the Middle East run around with their little ski masks on.
