evidence can be collected. That would have to be done satisfactorily for anyone to believe someone is KKK. And might not be too difficult to get, too.

I think names should not be just released willy nilly though. People often hear the accusation because it's bold and people are all interested. But retractions don't get as much traction. Sadly.

Is this a joke? Ben Garrison, whose career was ruined by Nazi posters on 4chan? Who tried to find a way to sue 4chan for the nonstop libel of his cartoons? THAT Ben Garrison?

...I don't know, I'm not buying that one. That's pretty shoddy.

Clarity Edit: "That One" means that person, not the entire list.

They have files on all kinds of individuals involved with the Klan and a multitude of other white-supremicist, neo-nazi, racist, and antisemitic groups. They have been assiduously researching this since their inception.

I feel the information is far more safe and reliable in their archives. And they have actually achieved great successes in the US courts in prosecuting such individuals, whenever possible.

We don't need Anonymous.
