Why does the KKK sound so much like conservatives?

Question

except only a tad bit more right-wing.

=======================

From the jewish ADL:

American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan:
In Their Own Words:

"Enemies from within are destroying the United States of America. An unholy coalition of anti-White, anti-Christian liberals, socialists, feminists, homosexuals, jews [sic] and militant blacks have managed to seize control of our government and mass media. This gang of criminals and degenerates has declared war on the hard working, tax paying, White citizens … The American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to change things for the better. We shall liberate our nation from these savage criminals and restore law and order to America."
(from the American Knights’ Platform)

"All three of our television networks are controlled by jews [sic]. Most of our daily newspapers, magazines and book publishing companies are owned by jew tycoons. The Klan will smash this jewish monopoly of our mass media … America’s public schools, colleges and universities have been turned into political indoctrination centers run by deprived liberals, communists and jews in our public … Jewish bankers and shylocks control the American economy with an iron hand."
(from the American Knights’ Platform)

"The Klan is strongly opposed to the insane policies that discriminate against White people in favor of unqualified and lazy nigers. We shall abolish affirmative action and minority quota systems. All unqualified blacks will be removed from positions of power and influence in our government. The Klan will launch a massive campaign to liberate our cities from the black gangs that presently terrorize them."
(from the American Knights’ Platform)

KKK rally on the steps of the Jefferson County Courthouse , Birmingham, AL. Jan 16, 1999(2 days before the Martin Luther King Holiday):
"Nigers are taking all of our jobs."
(An ADL observer. January 16, 1999)

KKK rally, county Courthouse, Erie, PA, November 22, 1998:
"You black bastards are destroying your own race; we have a nice rope for you treasonous people."
"….Kick the Jews out."
(An ADL observer. November 22, 1998

Answer 1

lol, first Republicans are bashed for supporting Israel, then you post something about kick the Jews out. Conservatives appointed the first female to the Supreme Court. The first African American to the Supreme Court. And Bush appointed the first African American Secretary of State, then the 2nd African American and first female Secretary of State.

It's just so funny how you try to spin this stuff. It really, really is.

Answer 2

Let me see…
“ I'm not sure. They really should sound like the dems right? Like how the only former or current KKK Senator is DEMOCRAT Robert Byrd.”
Compared to reality:

“In a development that reveals more about the nature of the US Republican Party than countless media handouts from the Bush reelection campaign, a virulent racist and white supremacist has won the party’s nomination as its candidate in the 8th Congressional District of Tennessee.”
Hummmmm!
Anyway, there is one in the House who was an open member of some ultra right wing white supremacist organization; can’t remember the little sucker’s name.

The thought process employed by most fundamentalists is similar to the thinking expressed by the ideas of neo-cons we see in here and other forums. It goes to how people form thoughts and where and when they learn to do so.

LOL, YOU MUST MEAN THE DEMOCRATS SINCE THIS IS WHERE THE KKK STARTED, AND STILL BEGINS. TAKE THE WHITE SHEET OFF THE FACE AND YOU'LL FIND A DEMOCRAT, I'M WHITE SO I KNOW AND SEEN WHO THE KKK ARE. MANY OF THE KKK MEMBERS WOULD SURPRISE YOU AND ALOT ARE THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS IN THE SENATE AND CONGRESS RIGHT NOW. HILLARY CLINTON AND BILL CLINTON ARE JUST THE START OF THE LIST, LET'S NOT FORGET BYRD, DURBIN, DEAN, NANCY PELOSI.WOW I HAVE A LIST THAT COULD KEEP ON GOING!! BILL CLINTON DID A GREAT JOB IN TRYING TO KEEP THE BLACK KIDS OUT OF THE SCHOOL OF ARKANSAN IN THE 1960'S DIDN'T HE LOL. SAD THAT THE REPUBLICANS HELPED THE BLACKS GET IN TO THAT SCHOOL,HUH. I HATE THE REPUBLICANS THAT HELPED THE BLACKS GET THEIR VOTER RIGHTS, DEMOCRATS DID THERE BEST TO KEEP THE BLACKS FROM VOTING. I HATE THOSE REPUBLICANS ALWAYS HELPING THE BLACKS. KKK ARE NO MORE RACIST THEN THE BLACK PANTHERS, DON'T KNOCK THE KKK WHEN YOU HAVE THE GROUP CALLED THE BLACK PANTHERS!!

Answer 4

Well, there is that 'hard C' sound. Seriously though, the only correlation I see is that the KKK (mis)uses Christianity (another hard C sound) to further their agenda. The Republican Party has been hijacked by the far right-wing religious coalitions to promote their agenda, resulting in a move from 'fiscal conservatism' to 'social conservatism'. As much as I hate that this has happened to the Republican Party, I think it's unfair to paint all Conservatives with such a broad brush.

Answer 5

Just because the KKK says something doesn't mean its not true. You can be racist and right on on everything else. There is an enemy within, and it is mostly the government and international corporations.

Did you know that the FBI infiltrates or starts neo-nazi organizations and organizes rallies?

Answer 6

Well lets see here, the KKK is a Fascist organization and Fascists believe in total government control. Conservatives (anyone who can truly be called one) believes in limited government controls but the Left believes in big government controls. The KKK hates Jews. Conservatives believe in the Constitution and therefore freedom of religion. The Left believes that religion should be outlawed the heck with that out-dated piece of paper. Ya know the more I think about it the more Democrat the KKK sounds. Oh yeah I forgot they are Democrats. Sorry but I think your theory is full of holes.

Answer 7

It sounds like you already thought all conservatives are racist, so that's why you think a racist group sounds like conservatives. It's called being prejudiced, but don't worry, you're not the only one who can't see your own prejudices.

If someone on the right were inclined to not use their brain they could point out that virtually all felons are staunch democrat supporters. But that doesn't mean that all democrats are felons, does that help show why your reasoning is flawed? Hope I could help :)

Answer 8

I am a conservative and ashamed that the KKK have attempted to align with us. These degenerates are a hate group and enough to preclude them from having any conformity to the conservatives. The conservatives are made up of many minorities. They are better off forming their own white trash political party, they arent welcomed as far as I am concerned. These is a feeble attempt to link a hate group with conservatives.
You fail.

The libs have aligned themselves with formidable hate groups like atheists, la raza, labor unions, extremists islamist groups, black panthers, KOS, ACLU, Rosie O'Donnelites, etc.

Answer 9

The KKK really doesn't sound like conservatives because conservatives try to convince you to see and vote their way.

The KKK not only sees it their way but has intentions of "liberating our nation" and I don't believe they intend to do it at the ballot box.

I hope the KKK doesn't rely on violence and intimidation anymore.

Answer 10

They maybe ultra right wingers, but yet the Nazis were radical leftists, so they could actually be from the left. Racism isnt really on the political scale. On an economic scale, its the left that declares war on the hard working. Socialism and communism is leftist. The right typically motivates the hard working.
