Does the klan have any clout at all these days? If they do I don't see any evidence of it.
I my lifetime (and I'm pushing 52) they have never had any clout.
They have been the liberal boogey man since their last hurrah somewhere in Indiana, sometime in the 20's.
I'm a 36 year old Georgia native, and except for the occasional rally, which has become fairly rare in the last 10 years, the KKK is virtually non-existant here.
Matter of fact, IIRC the last time I've even heard about the klan was 10 years ago when Hosea Williams did his"Freedom March" thing in what was then very majority white Forsyth county.
On the other hand, "The House of Prayer" was recently involved in a child abuse case brought by the state because the Pastor would spank children during sermons, in front of the congregation.
Michael, didn't you say your wife worked on the house of prayer case?
