[BOSSHOG]

Members of bush's base will don their robes and hoods and march at the Pearl River County Courthouse at noon today:

A massive crowd of about 20 cheney lovers are expected.

The christian conservatives are really concerned about immigration, sex offenders and reinstating prayer in schools.

These are people too incompetent to clean a motel room and too lazy to pick lettuce. The kind of people who ensure they never get caught engaging in their kind of sex. And wouldn't ya just love for our kids to pray in school what the klan wants them to pray for.

Mr Rangel may have been right, who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?

1. Hey Boss Twin 50s Should Work

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. HA!

A half-dozen old ladies with sharp sticks would do the job. ;)

[merh]

2. I wonder if the CCC

will be there in support, or maybe they are the same thing, they just have spelling issues.

3. I believe the KKK has a lot of members in the town next to mine.

So maybe Mr. Rangel can say who the hell wants to live in Missouri.

It'll give me an excuse to leave...

:rofl:

FYI, one time for my class we had to do a research paper on hate and I logged onto the KKK website to see what kind of bullshit they had on the page hoping I could use it for my paper and they had Christian coloring books for sale on the website. My jaw dropped instantly. I ended logging off, and doing a paper about Fred Phelps. It was a hard paper stomaching being on websites like the KKK and Fred Phelps "God Hates Fag"s website :puke:

4. So THAT's why tornadoes are heading that way! (Stay safe, BOSS). nt

[BOSSHOG]

9. Yeah, there is a real good chance they'll get rained on

Poplarville is about 40 miles north; its raining here now and the weather map looks like Poplarville will be getting rain for awhile.

5. I would suggest that the community members

line along the march pathway...all dressed-up as clowns. Honk their little horns, juggle their ball, ride the unicycles....Play a laugh track all the way beside the KK'ers. Mock them.... give them no power for their message as the clowns will always bring joy. O8)

7. KKK

not so many years ago were being laughed at and booed, that was during the Clinton years. How is it that they are gaining strenth again? One answer: Bush has allowed this to happen!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

11. yes.

strip them of their imagined importance.

[LiberalFighter]

15. Maybe... and I would suggest it be done in consultation with the local blacks in the area...

If the African-Americans were not offended and they thought it was a good idea...

instead of dressing up as clowns...

Anyone that wasn't African-American paint their face black so that there would be a sea of African-Americans and African-American supporters dressed as blacks along the route.

Now mind you... I would find out who in the African-American community was organizing a protest and find out if they thought this was a good idea or not.

6. Nothing personal Boss

I lived in MS for 7 years in grad school. Hated it.

There were some good people I met there, but frankly most of them were from out of state. It's strange, but it seemed a lot of people from MS commonly had a no-questioning black and white worldview.

[BOSSHOG]

12. None taken my friend

I have no emotional attachment to this state, just cheap real estate and my wife has a real good job here. She will soon be eligible for retirement and we will be pulling chocks and heading to my wife's hometown in Kansas. There is a world of difference between the people in those two states, and in Kansas they actually put their trash in trash cans.

8. Funny how the KKK agenda changes to meet the times

In the 1920s, it was the threat of Jews and Catholics. And of course, African Americans have always been a target. The only thing that is consistant in this organization's agenda is ignorance, hate, and fear.

10. Ah, brings back memories...

I remember in the early 80s when the KKK would stand on the corner of Dedeaux Rd and Highway 49 to collect donations. Good times, good times. I remember one of my pickup driving buddies once slowing and rolling down the window to give one of them some money. As soon as the hooded dude stepped towards the truck to take the cash, my buddy gunned the accelerator. Ah, the joys of watching bedlinens flapping behind the figure of a man diving for his life! :rofl:

We got a lot of applause from nearby cars for that one. The Coast wasn't big fans of the Mighty Whiteys.

14. 20 KKK clowns does not make a whole State.

Poplarville, MS is in Pearl River County, central Mississippi.
Estimated population in July 2005: 2,663 (+2.4% change)
Median resident age: 31.6 years
Est. median household income in 2005: $26,200 (it was $26,417 in 2000)
Small town, small income.
I loved living on Mississippi Gulf-Coast for 3-years and loved the people, even though it seemed like stepping back in time about 20-years. I also love living in Texas, but the racism here has always been more overt than any witnessed in Mississippi.

16. The Coast is much more liberal that upstate.

Which is probably why you didn't witness much when you were here.

Still, I wish I'd known about this sooner, even yesterday. I could have tried to get the UU church in Jackson to organize something. It just kills me that this group even still exists anywhere in the US--like there isn't enough pain in the world without inflicting it on stangers and fellow townspeople. :(
