Do I over-exaggerate to make a point, stir the pot, or needle the dogmatic? Sure I do.

But don't miss the point I'm making underneath it all. You are talking about the Klan of history books or discovery channel documentaries or else some neo nazi skinheads who aren't klan. I am talking about the guy down the street, and I don't live in a trailer park, my friend.

I was using David Duke as the poster boy of the clean cut church going family man who was a modern day grand wizard of the KKK. It was only partly due to his political affiliation, that was an incidental point, that wasn't my main point. I was only trying to say that good, clean, church going, southern family men Klan member Republicans don't look like boogie men. Barry, you are just dead wrong that they are scary looking drooling monsters in bib overalls out of Hollywood's central casting. The klan is alive and well and full of middle class and upper middle class average clean cut southern folk driving minivans and going to little league games and church every Sunday and who vote republican every election.

You are confusing the imitation wannabe angry young man with a chip on his shoulder with the genuine modern day klan. The only thing scary about the real klan is that there isn't anything scary about them.

The klan of the South has always been a political organization and comprised of average Joes and it is remains so today. Besides, I'm pretty sure the pedophiles (certainly all the homosexual ones at least) are Republican as well.
