I could be wrong, but this group seems to be on point most of the time. If they mess this up it's their reputations (To a lesser extent) than those on this list.

AINESVILLE, Fla. — Federal prosecutors say the leader of a Ku Klux Klan chapter in Florida and Georgia was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a gun.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the northern district of Florida Christopher Canova said Tuesday that federal investigators found 38-year-old Jamie Vincent Ward of Bronson with a pistol and ammunition.

Ward was previously convicted in Georgia of theft, first-degree arson and possession of methamphetamine.

ahhhh.....timing! lol!


LAHOMA, Okla. — The husband of a small Oklahoma town's mayor is apologizing for a Halloween prank in which he and others dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan and held a cross in front of a fire to make it appear it was burning.

Cary Sharp, husband of Lahoma Mayor Theresa Sharp, told KWTV that he's embarrassed and that he shamed his family and friends.

Klan Cross burning places, like an isolated area none of this would have happened. Now everyone knows what a sack of crap he is. Very sloppy.

I am far more inclined to believe things I see and hear from the Southern Poverty Law Center. They have spent years fighting bigotry of all kinds.
