Ku Klux Klan Members Plan to Appear at Presidential Debate Site
WSJ ^ | Sept. 26, 08 | Corey Dade

Posted on 09/26/2008 2:47:44 PM PDT by cdchik123

When the University of Mississippi hosts the first presidential debate tonight, the two sides of its troubled racial history could converge.

The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to be on campus for the face-off between Republican nominee John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, the first African-American nominee of a major party, according to a Friday report in the university’s student newspaper.

University officials haven’t commented. But, since winning the bid as host a year ago, they have used the attention to promote the university’s efforts toward racial reconciliation.

The university newspaper, the Daily Mississippian, first reported earlier this month that the white supremacist group planned to appear among the throngs expected on the Oxford, Miss., campus. The emperor of the White Knights group, whose identity was withheld as a condition of the interview, said his members would be “invisible … Our people won’t be in regalia or demonstrating. So, I guess you’ll just have to guess which of the people present are Klansmen.”

I didn’t think the Democrat Party would be campaigning on campus tonight.

The media will try to hang the klansmen around McCain neck ;this is a really dirty trick being carried out by Democratic Party operatives.

Well the problem with that is the behavior of the sheriffs and prosecutors mimics the KKK of old. And every one who has lived in the south in the 1960s knows they were all Democrats.

There will be some Redneck KKK member there that shouts an N-Bomb or calls Obama a Muslim or has a sign saying something like America is a White Christian Nation etc.

The MSM will eat it up.

Why is Senator Byrd going to the debate? Its not for all senators- just the two that are still running for president.

They are probably there to support Obama. After he and his reverend have mainstreamed racism.

-They wont demonstrate.
-You won’t know they are there and won’t even see them.
-Unnamed source.

$10 says this is another “look at the poor black man” race card gimmick brought to you by the Obama freaks.

With upwards of 2 million organized gang members now in the U.S. along with tens of millions here illegally, creating massive violent crime, does anyone even pay attention to the Clan anymore?
