Now Obama can sign a peice of paper anytime of day or night and put 100,000 people out of work. Now who do you think we should watch 24/7 who Beck twitters or what Obama signs?
Are you saying Obama, who has done nothing to intentionally harm any undeserving American should be more worried about white nationalists, who have terrorized American nonwhites for nearly 150 years now?

The main difference between Beck and a horses behind is he has teeth and the horses rump does not.

I'd really like to hear 2 cents about this from the Beck fans here

Not a fan of Glenn Beck, but he does have a right to follow anyone he wants. It's a free country.

Of course one should be more worried about Obama, he is terrorizing everyone, whites, blacks, hispanics, etc....

Exactly. Not to mention that the Klan's days of "terrorizing" people are long gone. This is not the 40's anymore. I'm more worried about the Crips or Bloods, or even the Black Panther's than the Klan. Seriously, how many people has the Klan killed in the past year, how many has the Bloods killed? No comparison

Well, I am not going to fall into your liberal racist view points. But, the Klan has killed people since the 40's and they do still terrorize people. The Black Panthers are nothing to worry about since they broke apart quite awhile ago, and have never reformed. The Bloods and the Crips, you don't have anything to worry about unless you are sitting there being where you shouldnt be, or create a problem with them.

This is very funny, when Robert Byrd died, and his support of the klan was decades old, the right wouldn't let it go.

You guys really have to make up your minds. They're relevant or they're not.
And if not, someone needs to apologize in the Byrd threads.

I answered to OP already, I believe it went something to the tune of "Probably misclicked/didn't know" followed by a rebuttal and questioning the sanity of the poster due to a private citizen picking to associate to whomever. If Beck put up a post saying that he hates all <insert group> that would be his perogative and while I may disagree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Oops, looking back you are the OP. Your choice in reading material should probably vary a little.

As for #2: You stated it yourself, it is history. History of a vast majority white controlled culture previously. "Violence and terror" within the 200 year US history pails in comparison to the fairly recent events within some of Eastern Europe and the African continent. Its pretty much a footnote in the comparison to Hitler, Moa, and Stalin. So while we can put it in a history book learn from our past, and avoid it in future, lets not be so quick to excuse the groups that are basically advocating for the prior problems. We should likewise find it inexcusable that elected officials will support such nonsense.

It's one thing to bring up associations with the Klan, it's another to say the person or group are present day terrorists. Who claimed that Byrd was terrorizing anyone? All that was mentioned was his affiliations.
