Another whopper - North Idaho sheriff candidate hosts cross burning

unfuckingbelievable!!!!

SANDPOINT, Idaho -- A white power activist campaigning to be the next sheriff in a north Idaho county hosted a cross burning last week with fellow members of the Idaho Ku Klux Klan.

Thirty-three-year-old Shaun Winkler is also defending the act, calling it a historic ritual steeped in Christian roots.

Winkler has been a member of the Aryan Nations and is a KKK imperial wizard. He is also courting voters in hopes of becoming the next Bonner County sheriff.
