This is absolutely horrifying.

Some of you may not know this, but a number of times in the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan was permitted to parade down Pennsylvania Ave. Hard to believe, I know.

  1. “the Ku Klux Klan was permitted to parade . . . Hard to believe, I know.”
    It is hard to believe that even hatful speech and expression were once permitted. We have come a long way, baby! If you rephrase the Bill of Rights a majority of Americans will find many of those old “rights” objectionable.

  2. Not so hard to believe when Democratic luminaries like Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) was once a member of the KKK. Ironically, after supporting racial discrimination early on in his political career, on May 19, 2008, Byrd endorsed Barack Obama.
