12 Klansmen rally briefly before LSU-Ole Miss game

OXFORD, Miss. — About a dozen hooded Ku Klux Klan members rallied briefly at the University of Mississippi before Saturday's football game with No. 10 LSU.

The members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan spent about 10 minutes waving flags, displaying Nazi-style salutes and occasionally gesturing at a group of about 250 hecklers that included young children. They were protesting the school's decision to drop a pep song that included "Dixie."

Some fans had been ending the song by chanting, "The South will rise again." Chancellor Dan Jones asked the band to stop playing the song after fans ignored a request to drop the chant.

The Klan said it was protesting over lost Southern symbolism at Ole Miss, which has been rocked by racial strife before.

1. OMFG all 12 of them?

[Kalyke]

2. Which proves the South is not as deserving of all the blasts it takes from DUers.

The biggest problem with the South is the lack of alternative media (particularly on radio). People simply don't get any other information besides Conservative=Good, Liberal=Bad.

The fact that the South votes for Democrats by margins of 45 percent, on average throughout, is also a testiment to just how bad the Republican Party is: they can only get slight majorities even though they own 99 percent of the media in the South.

3. Moreover it proves that most people who even mention the KKK, do so as diversion..

... from real and contemporary racial problems that have nothing to do with the KKK or any other artifact.

6. Also very true. If people didn't gripe about

the KKK and the South, they might have to admit that there is racism in their own neighborhoods and probably in their own hearts. The South is the nation's scapegoat.

5. Very true.

8. Oh bullshit.

"Media" is practically the same everywhere. The same radio talk shows you hear in the south are the same ones heard in every major market in the country (Rush, Hannity, Savage, and Beck aren't broadcasting out of places like Biloxi, Knoxville, Topeka, Little Rock). With the exception of various low power AM stations that carry a left of center format, RW also dominates in every other region of the country. It seems the south and parts of the mid-west are the two regions where hate radio's message resonates the most.

"Which proves the south is not as deserving of all the blasts it takes from DUers"

Let me guess, you're one of the DUers who believes racism is as bad or worse outside of the south? So answer this:

How many klan members gathered outside of the Cal/Stanford, Harvard/Yale, Ohio State/Michigan games?

12. my dad used to say whenever someone would say the south

shall rise again, yes. High enough to kiss a good yankee's ass.

[jpak]

4. Which One was Haley Barbour?

:evilgrin:

[msongs]

7. did Palin do a book signing for them? nt

[KamaAina]

9. And to top it all off, LSU choked to the team still called the "Rebels".

Les Miles = DTM. :grr:

[MadMaddie]

11. It wasn't pretty!!

[CTyankee]

10. Bunch of cowards, wearing masks on their faces.

They can't even face up to their beliefs! These people are abhorrent to me. I don't hate anyone but I sure hate their beliefs!

I can't believe these people are still walking around in these horrible outfits, spouting their hatred...
