Klan Gets Permit for Gettysburg Anti-War Protest
2006-07-04
The National Park Service has granted the Ku Klux Klan's request to hold a rally and protest the Iraq war at the Civil War battlefield where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.

Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan obtained the permit Wednesday for about 100 people to participate in a Sept. 2 event at Gettysburg National Military Park. The purpose will be to demonstrate opposition to the Iraq war and to speak on "white unity between the north and south," the permit said.

Park Superintendent John A. Latschar said in a statement Monday that the permit was granted in light of rights to free speech and assembly...

Young's group and other white supremacist organizations held a similar event last month at Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Md.

#14  I personally think the 82nd Airborne should take part, using live ammunition and a full TOE. The survivors (if any) can get one of those snazzy t-shirts that say "I survived the Second Gettysburg" - complete with bulletholes.

#12  I wonder if Cindy Sheehan will give a speech. She could talk about how it's all the fault of the Joooooooss. That'll go over well with this group.

#10  #6 Mike,

The 20th Maine? No, they should do a bayonet charge. It's tradition.

#8  Will John Kerry be there? What about Murtha? Speaking of blowhard legislators, don't forget to invite Bobby Byrd; maybe he can help KKK with recruiting.

#7  The far left and racists converge

They always were one. They are the spawn of the Salem Witch accusers. That's why Teddy is so secure in ol' Massachusetts - despite migration, they still permeate the populace.

#3  IsnÂ’t this country great. One doesnÂ’t just have to be an over degreed academic professor or instructor to be a bigot or racist. Why should the elites get all the fun. In the great tradition of America, anyone one at any station in life can seethe and scapegoat others for oneÂ’s choices and failings in life.

One day season should suffice.
