KKK rally at Gettysburg: “We are taking back this land." Anyone stands in our way, they’re going in the ground.”
"The only solution is an all-white revolution," said one of 10 Ku Klux Klan members during a klan protest rally held Saturday at the Gettysburg National Military Park.
But, Marguerethe Jaede, of Columbus, Ohio, who was in the area for a lacrosse tournament and happened upon the rally while in the park, didn't agree. They're "preaching hate and ignorance," Jaede said.
Held by the Traditional Rebel Knights of Braddock Heights, Md., the rally was organized to protest against black on white violence, illegal immigration and gay rights, among other subjects.
The group also expressed opinions about President Obama, Jews and white supremacy. "We are taking back this land," one klan protester said. "Anyone stands in our way, they're going in the ground."
Seriously with the rise of the rabid Right Wing in the form of the Tea Party, the disrespect directed toward the President by members of Congress, and an undercurrent of racism running through just about everything in politics these days, who did not see this type of thing coming?
I think it is only going to become more blatant as time goes on.
These may be relatively small groups willing to go public right now, but there are undoubtedly hundreds more waiting in the wings to see what the reception is for their vitriol, and if it appears that there are those sympathetic to their message I think seeing larger groups is a given.
