The editor and publisher of a local paper in Alabama, the Democrat-Reporter, penned an editorial last week calling for mass lynchings of Democrats by the Ku Klux Klan.
And so there can be no mistaking his intent, when asked what he meant by nightriding, Goodloe Sutton confirmed that, yes, he meant lynching. The way he rationalizes it is: "It's not calling for the lynchings of Americans. These are socialist-communists we're talking about."
And hence why folks say things about all Republicans --which is ridiculous.
This one idiot does not represent all the conservatives/Republicans. He is his own idiot for sure.

I never said he spoke for all Republicans or Conservatives. There are a number of them on this thread who have rightly condemned his words. You're projecting.
I'm just wondering why the editor of a paper calling itself the Democrat-Reporter would think that the paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party would be interested in chasing down and lynching Democrats.
Seems kinda self-defeating when you think about it.

I didn't say YOU said -- I said that's why there are folks that say stuff like that.
As a member of a democracy, we could all be called democrats.
The name itself probably comes from an older newspaper that was combined with another local paper, The Reporter, ages ago, before any of us were born.
That's what gives us newspapers with names like The News-Gazette, the Herald-Courier, and many others. The names have nothing at all to do with current politics or party affiliations.
he's the publisher so that's not going to happen but...... i think it's safe to say the vast majority of advertisers are jumping ship today.
