KKK types: Obama presidency will hasten the white revolution
PEARL, Mississippi | They are not exactly supporting Barack Obama, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a definite boost to their cause if he becomes the first black president. His election, they say, would trigger a backlash — whites rising up, a revolution of sorts — that they think is long overdue.

He would be a "visual aid," says former Ku Klux Klan leader and presidential candidate David Duke, in trying to bring others around to their view that whites have lost control of America. Obama's election, says another, would jar whites into action, writing letters, handing out pamphlets rather than sitting around complaining.

While most Americans have little or no direct contact with white supremacists, organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center keep close tabs; the law center estimates some 200,000 people nationwide are active in such groups. These observers think the prospect of a white revolution is fantasy.

White supremacists — many call themselves nationalists or "White activists," with a capital W — have had limited political success: Duke served in the Louisiana Legislature. And the public has periodically been unsettled by their public events, like the effort by uniformed Nazis to march through Skokie, Illinois, in 1977-8, the annual Aryan Nations meetings in Idaho and elsewhere or the FBI's clashes with armed white supremacists in several Western compounds.

4. I can tell you this. Domestic terrorism will return with a bang.
The McVeighs, the clinic bombers, gun happy nuts and other right-wingers have been very quiet for the last seven years while their President has been in charge.

They will return next year.

6. White Supremacy is really just fear of the unkown -- his becoming presidency would reduce that fear
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 09:18 AM by quantass
and if anything, earn respect....so if they are only supporting him in some twisted logic that it might support their cause they are in for a surprise that will benefit and expand their limited minds.

This is all predicated on the idea that Obama does a great job in office though....any little slip up may make these type of people amplified angry and misbehave

7. Oh goodie
Something to look forward to.

I have longed for the day the long trodden on white folk rise up and take our country back from.... other white people.

:sarcasm:


Frankly this could be a good thing. Get them all riled up. Smoke them out into the open. Wait for them to do something illegal... that should take about 5 seconds. Then arrest them. Problem solved.

10. Oh, I think it's a bit late for that revolution
Not to mention that we already experienced it, in the mid-1800s, and it failed.

11. Finally, they have the opportunity: PUMAs on parade.
More than a few LaRouchies can join in, too.

13. So Obama got the KKK vote?! Unbelievable...200,000+ votes on Obama
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 09:55 AM by vaberella
I find this utterly ridiculous on their part, but at the same time, morbidly entertaining. They have taken the art of stupidity that one step further...McCain's campaign should just call it quits at this point.

But it has nothing at all to do with sister-fucking retards in white sheets.
