Dittohead cons seem to be confusing party with ideology.
Everytime I point out how it was social conservatives who owned slaves and fought against integration and liberals who fought to free slaves and marched for civil rights, they bring up Democrat versus Republican.
They reason well today's Democratic Party is dominated by northeastern liberals and the KKK was founded by (southern conservative) Democrats. They seem to believe this was always the case and therefore reason the KKK is a liberal organization and it was conservatives who marched for civil rights.
Anybody else see what kind of crappy logic that is?

Of course. Whenever liberals do something you dislike, they are actually conservatives disguised as liberals. Whenever conservatives do something you agree with, they are actually liberals.
For example, libs say that social conservatives owned slaves, but Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers owned slaves . Were they conservatives?. Sen. Robert Byrd is an avowed liberal and former grand dragon of the KKK.
But to answer your question - most conservatives don't think the KKK is a liberal or conservative organization. They're just a bunch of stupid rednecks in white sheets.

No. The KKK is a non-political business enterprise. this is the Liberals who're continuously attempting to tie the KKK to Christianity and Conservativism. yet those self same Liberals take offense as quickly as we tie them to NAMBLA.

Well, you are talking about a whole different generation, and even going as far back as 150 years. I hold no responsibility for my own father's deeds. Surely you can't hold anyone responsible for the deeds of others who came before them by more than a century? Is everything black and white to you? Personally, I think there is very little difference between Republicans and democrats, fundamentally. You'll see when you get to be an old bag like me....

the kkk was founded by Nathan Beddford Forrest - a confederate calvary general of some ability.
the founding of the kkk has nothing whatever to do with any current or past liberal ideology.

It's very crappy logic. There were probably both liberals and conservatives who were members of the KKK.
Nothing is as one-sided as people want you to believe.

Your history is correct. I guess that just proves the idea that party loyalty is a bad idea because parties tend to change their philosophy to win votes. Vote for candidates regardless of their party.

Modern KKK members are in a different economic bracket than modern Conservatives.

Yes it is crappy logic.
Crappy hateful absurd right wing NeoCon logic.
Those hatemongers repeat ANYTHING their masters tell them to.
The Democrats that founded it would be Republicans today.
No doubt about it.
