I'm no klan expert, but isn't anti-immigrant hate (largely Irish, German, and Italian catholics) as much a part of their history as anti-black hate? I agree, this isn't surprising in the least. Hopefully, the Klan is so discredited that its efforts to villify immigrants will have the opposite impact.

Perhaps some of those guys will show up in robes at some local MinuteMen rallies, so we can get some good pictures for future use. . .

Oh, please. There's more than one Dem that fits that description. Hell, I can't even figure out which one you're referring to.

The dems have just never gotten the whole "march in lockstep, dissent is verboten" thing down.

[pssst, Sebby] Iran is Persian, not Arab. It's this sort of "they are all the same" thinking that led Bush to believe that there wouldn't be any post-Saddam strife in Iraq. [/pssst, Sebby]

Dear Administration:

The board has been trying to put its collective wisdom to good effect by identifying a strategy to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons. In light of the urgency of the current situation, we set ourselves a deadline of noon, EST. Unfortunately, the only strategy we've been able to come up with is nuking Iran, and many -- if not most -- members of the board feel that the great loss of Persian life that this would entail make this an inappropriate strategy.

Best of luck with the situation, and in the meantime it seems wise to keep sending Israel all the poison it can use.

Patriotically,

The PB

Now, in terms of current pictures that the Klan woud like, I'm thinking that the image of Obama with a fake beard and turban that you like to post (with the accompanying racist diatribe making fun of his name) would be right on target. Did you pick that one up from a Klan website?

This just in -- Feith defends himself:
  • This was not "alternative intelligence assessment." It was from the start a criticism of the consensus of the intelligence community, and in presenting it I was not endorsing its substance.

Volokh's argument is weak--he's making only the case that a given individual rationally should choose to be vacinnated. But that's not the issue. McArdle hits it better, but thinly, with her "herd mentality" point, which is the best justification.

What's the statute of limitations for murder by lynching? what lengths will you libs go to defend a virulent racist/Klan leader? Besides the lenghts of making him the conscience of your party....

No. There is nothing racist about it. Its a play on the similarity of names and an allusion to the similarity of the liberals platform and al qaeda's, i.e. the destruction of America and freedom. Why do you view that as racist? do you feel the need to cover for the virulent racism in the D party, Joe Biden: "Clean, articulate", teachers unions marginalisation of minority children's education, Sen Bobby Kleagle Byrd......

Look over there, FIRE!
