Fliers warn of KKK revival at school
Extra police officers will be on patrol on Halloween at Tech High School after racially charged fliers and threats of a Ku Klux Klan gathering surfaced on campus this week.

Confusion and fear were widespread among students Tuesday after more than 100 fliers announcing a revival of the Klan were found the day before. The photocopies of a handwritten note stated that the revival would take place at the school Oct. 31.

Do Rush, Hannity, Freepers or Fox News get any credit when their pandering to angry white imbeciles over Jena, LA, leads to stuff like this? Do they experience any shame?

1. Blame is with the idiots who did it.....
As much as I dislike Rush, Hannity, etc., etc. stuff like this is not caused by them. Rather, it is caused by ignorance. Sadly, we have a lot of ignorance today.

2. You know damned well Rush and his ilk FAN THE FLAMES OF HATE.
Denial of this basic fact is truly pathetic.

3. I hear your words and they are strong.....
but the KKK has been around for a long time. I don't think they need a man behind a microphone to rile them up. The ignorance that encapsulates them will find its own way out.

4. So do you deny that Rush is a racist?

5. The whole point of the GOP "southern strategy" has been to wink
and nod at racists and say, "Don't worry; we're not going to do a damned thing for minorities."

However, they take it a step further. They portray the people demanding justice in place like Jena, LA, as wanting "special" justice and they hint that such movements are the "real racism destroying our country..." Well, what's the next step for these forgotten "Americans?" What do you do when someone threatens to "destroy" your country? You go on the attack and demand your right as a member of the majority to do so.
