GA: ACLU to represent KKK in “Adopt A Highway” suit

The original KKK were all Democrats anyway so this fits

The American Civil Liberties Union will help the Ku Klux Klan in its bid to join Georgia's highway cleanup program as a legal fight looms.

ACLU of Georgia Executive Director Debbie Seagraves tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the civil rights group will assist the Klan in its battle with the state.

The International Keystone Knights of the KKK applied to join the "Adopt-A-Highway" program along part of Route 515 in the north Georgia mountains. Participating groups are recognized with a sign along the road they adopt.

State officials announced this month they would deny the KKK group's application, setting up the legal showdown.

Seagraves says the ACLU is still working on its strategy for representing the group in what it considers a First Amendment case.

The ACLU is a leftists organization it needs to lose its tax exempt status

Very true Jon. The KKK was started by, and filled with, southern Demoncrats, a fact that is always "overlooked" by leftists when denouncing that organization.

BTW, had we listend to, and learned from, the KKK back then, the national rate for violent crime would be about 85% lower than it is.

Well, except for that ignorant racist bit at the end, oh Anonymous one, you've just underscored the problem with this adorable "Democratic KKK" meme. The important phrase there is "Southern Democrats."

You need to look up the phrase "Dixiecrat." All the racists left the Democratic party when the Civil Rights movement started - you know, fine people like Strom Thurmond.

Interestingly, somebody else who switched from the Democratic party in the 60s? Ronald Reagan. Just a coincidence, of course...

for all the hype, nobody really cares about the KKK. I'm a tea party member and not one person I know is a member or cares about the KKK despite all the liberal hype and false accusations

This is an interesting matter...
Its not really sure how it is a First Amendment issue - sure the KKK has the right to express their opinions - but is the state obliged to permit them to Adopt-a-Highway?

Having given it 5 seconds more thought - I suppose it is probably viewpoint discrimination.

A Democrat shot Republican Lincoln dead.

A Democrat shot Republican MLKjr dead.

Democrat/Lefty shot JFK dead.

Democrats tried to shoot President Ford (twice).

We know who the violent thugs are, history shows us.
