Ku Klux Klan Members Plan to Appear at Presidential Debate Site

[proud2BlibKansan]

Corey Dade reports from Oxford, Miss., on the presidential race.

When the University of Mississippi hosts the first presidential debate tonight, the two sides of its troubled racial history could converge.

The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to be on campus for the face-off between Republican nominee John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, the first African-American nominee of a major party, according to a Friday report in the university’s student newspaper.

University officials haven’t commented. But, since winning the bid as host a year ago, they have used the attention to promote the university’s efforts toward racial reconciliation.

The university newspaper, the Daily Mississippian, first reported earlier this month that the white supremacist group planned to appear among the throngs expected on the Oxford, Miss., campus. The emperor of the White Knights group, whose identity was withheld as a condition of the interview, said his members would be “invisible … Our people won’t be in regalia or demonstrating. So, I guess you’ll just have to guess which of the people present are Klansmen.”

5. Too bad they'll be invisible, Chickenshits. I'd love to see them in their

robes each sporting a BIG McCain/Palin button.

Hope the SS is extra vigilant, although if they're too spineless to come in their ensembles, they're probably too chicken to attempt anything.

14. It sounds like to me, that they want people to be intimidated

since they will not be wearing their sheets...or they are all full of shit, and they said they would not be wearing sheets, so that people wouldn't know even if they were not there....hope that made sense...either way, they are trying to intimidate people.
