I have a US Klans KKK business card from Big Sandy, TN.
I did not know the KKK had business cards for its “members”. That’s kind of blatant. huh? I wonder if anyone would like to have the information on it – never know when it might come in handy, God forgid.

Good to see this blog.

Lou Dobbs was in his best Bill O’Reilly mode Wednesday having as his guest a spokeswoman for LULAC, beating her down, insulting her. Lou also slimed SPLC, the NY Times, too. Strange they have deleted this “debate” from their daily transcripts. Even then, the printed word doesn’t reflect the talking over, the body language, rolling eyes, and smirks that Dobbs uses to translate his REAL racist message. I am not Hispanic but a German-American from South Texas, and a minority there. I have many Mexican-American friends, even intermarriage into our family. We learn to hear racism “between the lines” and Lou Dobbs is a racist, even if he does brag about his Mexican wife. How does CNN get by with the likes of Dobbs and Glenn Beck spewing their racist filth.

Thank you for standing up to this sickening face of hate.

Congrats on Hatewatch…

I’m looking forward to more information emailed between the regular issues of Intelligence report — I appreciate receiving the latest email on the new lawsuit and then being able to link to Hatewatch which I will know to check periodically.

I stopped watching Lou Dobbs long ago, but realize it is important to keep track of what he and O’Reilly are doing. Thanks to you and your readers! It is really appalling and they have such a big audience.

Thank you for your efforts. There’s no doubt in my mind that the only way to combat this hate mindset and absolutist manachean mentalty is with continual efforts of confrontation and battle. And so we use the court system to prosecute where we can.

The sad part of this story is that even in congress and in the justice department we are faced with radical right wing absolutists, who in turn, are using authoritarian methods against all those who disagree with them.

THANK YOU gobs and gobs for your most magnificent work. I am proud to be a contributing member and will always be a contributing member to your great and very important organization.

Please always continue to go after these very disturbing people.

How do we teach people like this to be compassionate, progessive-minded, non-judgemental? How do we teach them not to have hate for others in their hearts?

With enormous appreciation of your great work, always.

I’m glad to see someone is working on the hate crimes issue. Bad attitude is one thing—acting out the bad attitude to the detriment of others and society is unacceptable. Life is tough enough without having to worry about anyone hurting you and yours just because you’re different. Misguided, mindless hate—still the sorrow and shame of mankind. I applaud and support your efforts.

Thank you for informing me about your work. I am pleased that you have taken the opportunity to prosecute these criminals for what they really are. Keep up the good work and keep hounding these social misfits into oblivion. They deserve nothing less.

Thank you for taking on the difficult hate crimes and keeping watch. We all need to be watchers. You are a great organization. Also thankyou for coming on CNN and challenging Lou Dobbs which you did with respect. I am sorry you did not receive the same courtesy.

It’s so important for people to realize that the Klan is not old news.

Thank you for fighting injustice and hate in this country.

You are true heroes and role models for most of us “ordinary” Americans who are desperately seeking them in this day and age.

You give me hope that, although the “mills of justice grind slowly,” they WILL eventually “grind exceedingly fine.”

It is time to take the klans down. Their violence towards other people is unacceptable, even if they do try to hide behind business cards and such. Their ignorant views and extreme behavior should not be displayed anywhere except from behind prison bars.

Mr. Dees:

I am always delighted at your success. It is unbelievable that this Klan and Nazi scum still exist. Mr. Dees, I hope you are around to lead SPLC another 100 years, but in the event that does not happen, what are you doing to insure that you will have a successor with similar passion and intellect. All the best, Dennis Barbakow, Ph.D.

Hi Morris,
Primitive fundamentalism needs to be attacked from every angle. Please keep me on the email list. Sure wish we could have a “first encounter” to rattle all the nonsense that springs from religion and racism!
; ) norrtom and gnofleas

Yours is one of the few great organizations I will continue to support. The work you’ve done, and continue to do, is so very important. It’s hard to believe that in the year 2007 (CE) so much hate continues to surface. True, hate has been around a long time, (I’m sure it existed even before humans learned to historicize them selves), and will exist as long as we’ll be around. But we need–the world needs–organizations like the Poverty Law Center. Please, please, keep up the great work.

Thank you for your wonderful work you are doing. I have witnessed so many racist comments, some directed at me while living in the USA. (I married an African American in Mississippi in the early 70s,) I am a descendant of a Romanian Gypsy) We desperately need people like you, and I will always be extremely grateful for your brave stance against these rascist bullies. Again, thank you, from New Zealand. Pam Gray.

This is an utter disgrace to allow this to go on in this country. This seems to be a throwback to the despicable times of the thirties and forties. These groups seems to rise from the muck every few years. Thank you for bringing them out into the open for everyone to be repulsed. This seems to be the only way to reveal them for what they are – the personification of hatred. We must all keep fighting!! We owe you and SPLC a tremendous debt of gratitude. Good luck, Elizabeth Holsten, Chapel Hill, NC

I live 15 miles from Dawson Springs and never knew this kind of thing was going on. How can our local authorities not know about this?????

Thank you for helping to fight this utterly disgusting group (and others) . IKA and other groups consisting of moronic self hating people that project their own self hatred on to others instead of working to resolve their own family of origin issues, need to be pointed out and shut down. In this age where our own president and vice president spread hatred (against gay and lesbian people) we all need to support one another not spread further hatred and bigotry.(Since the evil twosome have been in office hate crimes have gone up 400%, according to Newsweek). Good work! I will continue to support you and your fight against bigots!

Thank you,SPLC, for your human rights battle at the very core of our democracry. I feel one big reason hate groups such as these are thriving in our country, is that we as a people are growing more progressive, more open, and more accepting of minorities; these hate groups resent this change so they cling together and seek ways to strike back…The present administration has overtones of this kind of elitism and, though not overtly accepting of hate groups, they tend to look the other way. The Bush administration has been, of course, open to torture of war prisoners, which is just another element of the same persona…

I am the mother of the 16 year old boy who is involved in the case now at hand against the kkk. I would like to thank the center for the time and effort they have put forth to help my son try and get through this. We’re not done yet. But i know that we will win this. We have a great team of people helping us. They became like family to us. Keep up the good work guys, God bless you for all you’ve done again thanks,,Cynthia and Jordan Gruver.

I want to add my voice to the appreciation of the work the
Center does in teaching equality around our country; this
case against the Nazi / KKK group is an excellent way to
bring forward that we will not put up with that kind of nonsence
in this free country. I must add though that I’m not sure
about the people who have written to you speaking such
nonsence about Lou Dobbs. I watch him everyday and
agree with almost everything he says and his positions on
the issues. I do not think he is anti-Mexican; he is pro
American and thinks everyone who lives here should be legal;
I agree with him.

hey, guys, you’re still doing a great job and i’m glad your on our team. people should be created alike not judged because of color. I’m from kentucky but i never had to deal with the hate that was done to my son. i thought it was safe to bring my boys here from ND, where they’re from, and all they got was hurt. i hope that when this victory is over it will say something to all the other groups out there–watch out for the SPLC. keep up the good work. cynthia gruver(mother of Jordanhurt by the KKK)

As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and a devout Christian, I would like to say that I am deeply ashamed and absolutely outraged at learning of this atrocity.

I offer my sincere prayers to the victim – and the family – of this heinous act of bigotry.

Thanks bob for your sincere words your are a good person and my son feels good that there is still people out there who care for this cause, he says thankyou for the prayers, he could sure use them in the months to come,again thanks SPLC.we love you. cynthia gruver and jordan gruver…

hey, guys. thanks for taking on the kkk on my behalf. i hope we win and thanks to Bob for his prayer, I was hurt by them not only physical but emotionaly as well. that i hope in time will heal, i still feel pain alot but the worst pain is what was done to my pride,my trust in society. i fear people now and thats no way to live.so please everyone pray and SPLC go get them for us and everyone else who has to deal with racial hate everyday..thanks, Jordan Gruver with permission from cindy gruver..

As others have said, Thank you for being there. We need your organization more than ever. I have lived with these hateful beasts for 69 years. I plan to be an ex-patriot living elsewhere away from these rooted hate mongers soon. I need to feel more kindness and know a more peaceful existence.

How scary that we are still reaping what Hitler sowed… Please keep me informed on your young client and give tell him that all “white” Americans aren’t like his attackers.

Free speech is one thing.Everyone has First Amendment rights.They went beyond free speech when they acted out their hate.Hope the SPlc nails ‘em.

Thank you guys so much,all of you at the SPLC. You are all my heroes,it’s good to know that there is someone hitting these racist idiots where it hurts the most..in their pockets! I read about what you guys did to Richard Butler and his group of misfits a while back and I have nothing but praise for all of you! I’m still a student,but please expect for me to make many donations in the future once I graduate to help with the fight. Thank you all so much.

When I was a kid in Dallas I used to live in fear that redneck boys could read my mind and that they knew that I wasn’t one of them, though I sometimes felt compelled to fit in a little bit. This was a very uncomfortable situation to say the least. Fortunately, there were not any minority children anywhere nearby because of segregation. This was ironic but realistic considering the times and the attitudes in Dallas. About this same time my father was calling my attention to Senator Kennedy on tv and making references to the “great senator and probable future president.”

I only hope you bankrupt the the hell out of the lot.

‘spic’ huh?

SSDD.

What a waste of human resources to still be fighting this same damn fight.

I suppose we should see the use of ‘jews’ instead of ‘kikes’ as a sign of progress, huh?

Thanks for all of your work on behalf of victims of hate groups and hate “attitudes ” around this country and the world .It is sad to realize that there is still all of this hate in the world today even after so many have given so much to wipe out hate and bigotry. But its very important to let the world know that this still exist.

you people make me sick. you sit here and stand up for the minority criminals and dont complain about them. you over look what they are doing to our white people. how can you live with yourselves. if you people had half a brain you would say was morris dees at the fair when this took place doubtful think about it.how much of what u read is the actual truth. if u go to the ika website at ^[4] you will read that they dont allow illegal activities but they do have the constitutional right to protect themselves.read between the lines people seek the actual truth.stop helping these other races and start caring about your white race. whites still have the constitutional right,or did minorities take that away from us to. you hear on the news poor minorities their the victims blah blah.but who are the ones flooding our prisons,or r they there because of racial profiling i think not that would be the liberal propaganda answer.

I am sorry that you see life through in such a way. There are bad people from all races and good people from all races. The color of your skin does not make you a good or bad person, only how you treat other people and the deeds you deal out.

Oh, geez. Another victim of racist propaganda.
Dear Mickey Mouse,
Please go back to school – college teaches you to open your mind, to investigate reality for yourself, and to come to your own conclusions based on solid evidence.
As long as you rely on hate mongers for your information, you will be deceived.
You’ll see what I mean.
Take care.
I wish you well,
A concerned citizen.

I have wondered if there is a program that these, “haters” can attend, (for a very long period), that will help them see the light that what they really hate is truly theirself. I know that there are those that are, “white collar” works in some pretty high positions in our society.

There is a sad side to this. When there is no one to hate you will start hating your own. These people need to think about those that passed before them. They tried the same and lost. Also, Hitler wasn’t a well person, he tried the ethnic cleaning, lost and took his life. They say they, the “haters,” worship Jesus Christ, burn the cross for some strange reason, yet they hate Jews. Wasn’t Jesus a Jew, born, reared, judged and cruified as a Jew? Now from my understanding, Jesus never taught His followers to hate anyone. He even said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” What about the 7 X 70?” There is something wrong with their thinking and teaching.

Life is a precious think to waste, let alone the mind.

Above the blackboard in my ninth grade english class a sign read, “Hate is for those who are to weak to Love.” I read that in 1961, Columbus, Ohio.

Milk them dry, the whole lot of them.

Shalom,

Ples

Mickey Mouse,
I have sent two (2) response to your, ^[4]. I am still waiting to hear from you and your kind and what excuses you all have for your way of thinking. Now, if you need your group to help you, please do so, that is called peer tutoring. I used that in both my math and science/biology classes when I taught those subjects.
Yes, you have the right to voice your opinion but without committing bodily harm or injury.
What do you know about, “Deoxyribonucleic acid, Mitocondrial Dexoyribonucleic or Maternal DNA?”
Look for, “Ples Walker said.”

Shalom/Salam/Pax/Peace

From Iraq Girl:
My Dear Brother,
Let me ask you a simple question, if you take off the skin of a white person and a black person and take the eye color out; what is the diffference between you or I?
I was in Iraq fighting for you and our people in the State, so why do you hate me when I faught for your rights to hate me?
Please think about these questions and may G-d bless you and keep you safe, because I will be praying for you that you never meet my kind…
A soldier.
Sincerely,
Iraqi Girl (my daughter)

To Mickey Mouse: In case you didn’t know, the waste matter you can excrete, b.o.,sweat, spit, vomit and blood are all no different from that of a spic, black, Jew or homo-sexual. Blood – the same color … RED! Pain …it’s all the same for all human beings. Love …the same. Suffering …the same. When I look inside a “white supremacist” body (during surgery), the organs all look the same! Now, if it weren’t for Spics like Fernando & Isabella(they provided ships & money), your ancestors wouldn’t have even been here. If it weren’t for brown-skinned (not Red) Indians, your ancestors couldn’t have had a land to “discover”. The only thing different you and your kind possess is in the brain and heart …..hate resides there. I wish you love and I wish you well. From: A “Spic” nurse and proud of it. P.S. I’d take good care of you no matter what your race.

Jean Hellenthal has a good point where she notes that

I stopped watching Lou Dobbs long ago, but realize it is important to keep track of what he and O’Reilly are doing.

With that in mind, might I recommend paying regular visits to the likes of ^[5] and ^[6], both of whom monitor right-wing media channels (in the former instance, Fox News Channel) and expose their misinformation to air and sunshine.

^[7] is also recommended, what with their monitoring of so-called “news” portals with inherent conservative bias, notably NewsMax, WorldNetDaily, The Drudge Report and Accuracy in Media.

My thoughts are with you, Jordan, as you recover from this horrific attack. Light, love, peace, and courage to you and your family!!

IN THIS SELECTIVE ANTI WHITE SOCIETY ITS OK FOR SIX BLACK MALES TO BEAT A WHITE TEEN, EVEN MAKE HEROES OF THEM(JENA SIX) VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER BUT EITHER IS BIASED JOURNALISM. WHAT ABOUT TRUTH AND AS PAUL HARVEY WOULD HAVE SAID “THE REST OF THE STORY”

TO PLES WALKER, I would very much enjoy debating these issues with you, I like your style. email me anytime at ^[8] concerned Klansman

Hello
I saw someone ask a question that I have had, and if you answered it, I apologize for the duplication. I had wondered how the KKK can hate Jews and worship Jesus Christ, who was a Jew.
Thanks

Is there anyway to bring charges or suit against CNN for allowing Dobbs and Beck to incite racism on national TV?

Good for you for taking these animals on!
I have been over to their website, which I shall be highlighting in a post later on, and it’s clear that they don’t have a brain between them.

They think homosexuals should be put to death for their crimes, which are worse than murder.

They need to get a real hobby- like gardening or sewing or something…..

we hang out with jordan on a daily basis and he is a really cool guy, he doesnt discriminate against anyone and he really didnt deserve this. i think the 300 pound guys are some wimps picking on a 16 year old when im pretty sure that there was a group of 300 pound non-caucasian people walking around the meade county fair for them to try to fight

Hey Tom Grant: “VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER” . Obviously you’re not “Aryan Nations”, who’ve their motto, “Violence is the only solution”, tattooed on their bods. Is this progress, advancement, on the part of the IKA.??? Your blog, ^[9] , boasts that the IKA’s about “Aryanism”, meaning full, pure White — blonde hair, blue eyes, & lilywhite skin. Which of these features d’you boast Tom??? Your portrait(“Knighthawk336”) resembles the mugshot of some Polynesian bikie replete with black shades, the sort that ANY White Supremacist would HATE. I WON’T EVEN MENTION the foto of you standing alongside Tim Harris, if for nothing else I wouldn’t want any of your fellow Klanners to ever see it(cos ‘violence is never an answer’ is it??).

I would like to personally thank Mr Dees and Mr Potok for their participation in the Gangland special about the IKA. We have seen an unprecedented surge in new recruits and donations. I really appreciate how the SPLCs participation is helping us raise the money to pay off Ron’s attorney. Keep up the good work guys, you are helping to increase the IKAs status in the movement. Thank you Mr Dees for helping us to grow stronger.

I would like to address the ignorance of Asheg Islam toward who is considered Aryan because he is completely mistaken and has obviously not even bothered to research our beliefs.

There are three main categories of Aryans, First is the group that Asheq mistakenly believes to constitute all Aryans, the Anglo Saxon/Germanics who are from western Europe, these are the fair haired, pale skinned people who buy sunblock by the case. Then there are Mediterranean Aryans who came mainly from Spain, Italy and Greece, these people often have dark hair and brown eyes and the abiliy to hold a tan but care must be taken to examine individual bloodlines as these countries were under Ottoman rule for centuries and some race mixing did occur but in general, most of these people are white. Last but not least are the Slavics of Eastern Europe.

Most mordern white nationalists accept all these people as white. It was Hitler who tried to say only the Anglo- Saxons and Germanics were white. He was mistaken in this one thing and it was a mistake that got George Lincoln Rockwell killed by one of his own people. For the record I fit into the first category, I am German/Irish with blue eyes and am at risk for skin cancer if I spend hours in the sun without protection.

These guys need to be worried about Islam trying to force sharia law across the US. Not the Jews, blacks, or Mexicans. They serve no threat. Islam is successfully taking over Europe at a scary fast pace. I live in Michigan about ten minutes from dearborn. Dearborn has manipulated our constitution and is now under Shari’a law which means (under Islamic Shari’a law) they justify stoning of woman or adulterers, stone rape victims for being with a man even though they were raped! Islam is taking over and when people like me bring this up were islamaphobes, rasict or paranoid. Thereligionofpeace.com
